GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. FOX Sports first reported Tuesday that the Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few days. ESPN.com said that according to Favre's agent the quarterback told coach Mike McCarthy of his decision.

The team did not immediately confirm or deny the report. An assistant to Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he was in meetings all day but would release a statement later Tuesday morning.

I grew up watching Favre sling 'em and it is sad to see him go. Although it is great to see him leave on his own terms and not being carted off the field :jointsmile:

Somewhere Aaron Rodgers must be shitting himself with joy :)
