Favre retiring? Packers' Web site report a mistake

February 29, 2008

Brett Favre's retirement lore is becoming almost as popular as his on-the-field heroics.
On Thursday, the Packers' official Web site briefly reported he was retiring, but the page under the breaking news section was live for only a few minutes.
"There's nothing to it," Packers spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press. "People who handle our Web site had set up a dummy page in the event he was to retire. They were asked to take down that page."

Favre 'mentally tired,' tells Packers he's retiring

ESPN.com news services

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire.


"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired," Favre told ESPN's Chris Mortensen in a voice mail messasge.

Chadiha: Favre's in my six-pack

As great as Brett Favre is, he's not one of the top five quarterbacks ever. He ranks a strong No. 6 on my list -- right behind Joe Montana, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino and Peyton Manning -- and there isn't much he can do to elevate himself, even though he's enjoying a renaissance in his 17th season. Montana, Elway and Unitas have more championships. Marino never had as much talent around him as Favre has had during his career. And we have to assume Manning will hold all the major NFL passing records before he retires.

I find it funny that just the other day he was saying he would be back if the Packers signed Randy Moss.

This is just him sulking like he always does this time of year to get attention. In a month or two he will be back.
