Well it is official, Brett Favre has finally quit threatening, and has actually announced his retirement from the NFL after a 17-season stretch.  That’s right!  Brett Favre of the Greenbay Packers, one of the most well known players, hell, even I know who Favre is, is quitting.

Although, I am not too shocked, he has been teasing us with his retirement for quite some time.  That’s okay though, Brett, put your feet up and relax.  Have fun being retired!

He retires with 5,377 career completions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions.

In his final season, Favre also extended his quarterback-record streak of consecutive regular-season starts to 253 games — illustrating his trademark toughness.  Add the playoffs, and Favre’s streak stands at 275.

But Favre finished the season on a sour note, struggling in subzero temperatures in a 23-20 overtime loss to the New York Giants in the NFC championship game.
