Favre gives reason for retirement
Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre has tearfully revealed why he has retired from competitive American football, citing a lack of desire. The 38-year-old, who annouced his decision on Tuesday, leaves the game with him a Super Bowl victory and nearly every quarterback record.
He said: "I know I can play but I don't think I want to. It's been a great career for me, but it's over.
"I promised I wouldn't get emotional. I've watched hundreds of players retire and you wonder what that would be like. You think you're prepared.
"As they say, all good things must come to an end. I look forward to whatever the future may hold for me.
"I don't even want to think about next year. Will I watch games? I'm sure I will. Will I be involved? I always made the joke I'd be here for an honorary coin toss. Well, that time may come, so I may be back for something like that. But as far as giving advice, I don't think that will happen."
