Packers’ Quarterback Favre to Retire From N.F.L. - New York Times

"Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire, ending his storied and crowd-pleasing career after 17 seasons, three N.F.L. Most Valuable Player awards, a bevy of records and a reputation as one of the most popular and entertaining players in league history.
The 38-year-old Favre, who always seemed a sort of throwback to grittier and more reckless style of previous N.F.L. generations, had contemplated retirement seriously the past couple of off-seasons. But he had one of the best seasons of his career in 2007. He led the Packers to a surprising 13-3 record and the National Football Conference championship game, and was named to his ninth Pro Bowl. Toward the end of the season, Favre spoke of his feeling of rejuvenation, which is why news of his retirement was widely met with surprise on Tuesday morning."
