In five years, football and this forum will forget about Favre if not hate him because he will be too beat up to throw the ball.

I'm dead certain that he talked this over with his family first.

I've heard bad things about Brett's character, but I really feel bad for him. I hope he's ok.

Some of you are missing the point. Irv was not just Brett's father, he was his mentor, his coach, and lot of times, his inspiration. Believe it or not, I heard his whole family told him to play because it's what Irv would have wanted. For those who saw the game last night, you watched another chapter in Brett's career (and the record books) written and cherish the memory, because he is coming to the end of his career...

I'm not certain that he will play next year.

That'll be 13 years. That's a long time for a QB.

Favre already said that he is going to be back next year.
He really like this new (relatively young) team and still have fun playing.
It will be the saddest day for Packers fans when he retire.

Favre is a great guy regardless of his accomplishment in football.
He has his ups and downs but then again who hasn't.
He got through it and made him even better.

Hats off for Favre and my condolences for his family.

If they manage to win the Super Bowl this year, he should retire for sure. It's sad seeing someone like Emmitt Smith not retire. Go out hot.

Yeah, that's what I thought too and he will.
As much as I hate the Cowboys, seeing Emmitt in Crapdinals uniform is just wrong.
He should have retire with great memories instead of this humiliation.

I truly admire Elway and Barry Sanders for their decision to retire.
Elway deserves to go out on top but I still miss Sanders crazy legs.
He can still play for awhile and torment NFC North but it was not meant to be.

Incredible performance from a future Hall of Famer... Favre paying tribute to the man who taught him everything he knows about football was inspiring.

he is an amazing qb.

But, it is still his job. As minute as some might consider his job, its still his job, he gets paid millions to do it. I find it quite admirable to be able to do that.

Like I wrote, it is a matter of what is important to you In the long run, family is much more important than a football game or how much money you make.

No, but it's about passion about something you love so deeply. Farve shared football with his father and he paid tribute to him through playing. I've seen more than one actor take the stage after losing a loved one. I was in a show with a guy who showed up for a show the day after his father died suddenly. Nobody can talk about job or money when you're an unpaid volunteer actor, and he had a chorus part...it's not like the show would not have been able to run without him. He was 16 years old, btw.

When we mentioned his gumption, he just said "I think it's what my father would have wanted me to do."

Who are you to question something like this? You don't know the half of it.

That was probably the most courageous performance I have ever seen ... Brett is the man!! :beer:

I'll second that. Awesome performance and appropriate given the relationship he had with his father.

What happened? I didn't get to watch the game. What did Oakland's secondary do?

Smith hasn't been hot in years. He would have had to have retired back in the Switzer era

True, but Smith is just pathetic now. He's a shell of a player. Once Dallas got rid of me, I'd have retired.

Agreed. Favre's father was a high school football coach and was emotionally invested in his son's career. He would often participate in talk shows on the radio after each game and it was apparent that he LOVED to watch his son play football. The is no doubt that Favre did the right thing by his family, and himself, and his team. Also, his wife and priest were at the game, on the sidelines with him, and I am sure they were on a plane very soon after the game was over.

That is true. He doesn't have the solid O-line that he did with Dallas. He's also lost quite a few steps.

But Smith doesn't care. All that matters was that "I got to see my daughter play soccer" (if you remember him bawling like a baby after the ass whoopin' the Cowboys handed them)

That is a pretty harsh statement for a guy whose body has taken the beating his has...
