Brett Favre Retires…Again
Take last year’s Brett Favre retirement speech, substitute Jets for Packers (and remove any references to playing well), and you’ve got today’s news: Favre is done.
Favre had instructed his agent, James “Bus” Cook, to inform the Jets on Wednesday that he is retiring. Favre and the Jets both confirmed the retirement in separate conference calls.
“There are several things that went into decision but most importantly, the most important thing, was that physically, you know with my shoulder the last half of the year it hampered the way I played,” Favre said. “I’m 39, I had several options [to have surgery] and to let it heal. How that would affect me in terms of playing I had no idea and it wasn’t something I was going to risk.” Jets owner Woody Johnson said it was Favre’s decision to step aside.

Should have stayed retired last year like Green Bay told you to. Only thing you accomplished this past season was tarnishing your legacy, congrats.
Yuuuup. Totally not worth ruining the legacy with GB for one year with the Jets that ended up no where
Brett Favre is so sexy! He can retire and come back anytime with me!
