The Facts:
Favre made it clear Thursday that he's finished with football. "I know I can play but I don't think I want to," a teary Favre said in a news conference at Lambeau Field two days after he announced his retirement. "It's been a great career for me, but it's over. ... As they say, all good things must come to an end. I look forward to whatever the future may hold for me."

With that, Favre walked away from a 17-year NFL career, taking with him a Super Bowl victory, virtually every QB record worth having and the widespread admiration of his peers and fans. Favre thanked the Packers for letting him play. "It wasn't about the money or fame or records," he added. "I hear people talk about your accomplishments and things. It was never my accomplishments, it was our accomplishments. ..." Favre is the NFL's only three-time MVP, and leads the league with 442 touchdown passes, 61,655 yards passing and 160 career victories. He started 253 consecutive regular-season games, more than any other quarterback in history.
