Sad Day for Cheeseheads
Filed under: Zportz
We bet Wisconsin is at a standstill….
After 17 years (!) in the NFL, legendary quarterback, Brett Favre, is retiring from the game.
According to Fox Sports, who broke the story Tuesday morning, Favre leaves the game as the all-time record holder in several categories including wins, passing yards, touchdowns and consecutive games started. A three-time MVP, the southern swashbuckler won fans over with his carefree style.
Brett Favre, his people and the Green Bay Packers have yet to confirm Fox's report.
We've always liked Mr. Favre. He'll always be Cameron Diaz's hot ex-boyfriend in There's Something About Mary to us!
Thankfully there's another Favre in the NFL to keep the family name alive!
Update: It's confirmed.
He's outta there!

Re: MARY DANATO – you are an idiot
Leave the sports talk to the hetero's, dude felator.
I love Brett Favre. He seems like such a genuinely all around good guy, not to mention an incredible quarterback. I'm so bummed!!!
Most people outside Wisconsin have no idea…. he is the greatest, an inspiration.
What OTHER Favre are you referring to? God, I hope you are not getting Favre and Manning confused, because then you have seriously out gayed yourself.
Vote 4 Obama, this is a HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP SITE. Go to CNN if you want real news, you douchebag.
Also Perez, this is a sad day for the entire NFL, not just Wisconsin. Brett Farve is a great human being and a football player who just loved to play the game, inspired others, and he will be missed. Hopefully he'll be signed to do some commentating, though!
And Voore I garauntee he doesn't have a fuckin profile on some bullshit site, mainly because he's been married for like 15 years and his wife is smokin hot.
Re: jobabe – You really suck…seriously, you should be ashamed to admit you're from Wisconsin. Thanks for all the memories, Brett…you were an inspiration to so many people, and your last season was amazing. A true class act, and an NFL legend.
Straight from Wisco, this is a sad sad day around here. The sun can't even shine… I shed a tear at 8:20 am when the news broke. We have lost one of if not the greatest thing WI ever had. He is and will be a legend forever… WE LOVE YOU BRETT!
Perez: You have no idea what a sad day it is here in Wisconsin to see our beloved Brett Favre leaving us….he has truly stood the test of time. He played the day after his father passed away and had the best game of his career. He has started every single game in his 17 year career. He has broken every single record that a quarterback could break - even all time interceptions - but - it's still a record…he has continued to play through out many family tragedies, including his wife's breast cancer which she ultimately beat and now speaks on the issue. He is our hero and our superman here in Wisconsin and for packer fans all over the United States. He will be greatly and genuinely missed. WE LOVE YOU BRETT!
COWBOYS!!!!
Nooooo!
I remember when Brett Favre first started, I was like 4. The Packers are so fucked now lol, it's over for them. I think I might have to cheer for another team from now on lol. It won't be a happy day here in Wisconsin. *sigh*
I can't believe you you said, "Hot ex-BF". Seriously, to call Brett Handsome is like calling you a muff diver. Pickle Sniff!
we
Thanks Perez for including this story! I am crying…I love the Pack and Favre will be missed!!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, BRETT….WE'LL MISS YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL SPIRIT!!!! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
there is no other player in the NFL with the last name Favre. He only has daughters. duh.
We'll miss him lots.
Hey Jobabe - then I suggest you freaking MOVE out of the state…you are a shame, an embarassment and a disgrace to this State - you if anyone, SUCK and I'm guessing you swallow too!!!
WAHHHH! Us Cheeseheads are heart broken. And dumbfounded. Shock is more like it. We will always love you, Favre.
Re: MARY DANATO – Shut up, you twat. Like you probably know anything about football anyway. Brett Favre has broken more records than just about any player in the NFL ever. Not to mention he's a nice, down to earth guy who has stood the test of time and gone through so much, including his wife's breast cancer. Not even from Wisconsin, but this guy will be missed.
THE BEARS STILLS SUCK.
This is the saddest day ever.
GO PACK GO
Go Favre!!!!!! You will be missed. FOREVER
All the network stations here (in Milwaukee) have gone into breaking news mode. No regularly scheduled programs. The man, the myth, the legend will be greatly missed.
Sad day for Green Bay. Is it still freezin cold up there in Wi? Go Bears!
Thanks for posting this, Perez…Brett Favre is a LEGEND. He has given so much to his fans over the years, and Lambeau Field will not be the same without him. Brett had a great last season, minus that final interception, and broke just about every record out there. I'm so sad about this, but I'm glad that Brett could go out on top. Thanks for everything.
This is the most depressing day ever. I just died a little inside. We're gonna miss you Brett!
You are right.
We love him.
He has said he was going to retire for the past like 4 seasons. He won't retire this year after the awesome season he had last year. He is just tired now, he will be back until he wins a superbowl
I'm from Wisconsin.. this is indeed sad news. Wisconsin is in a state of mourning.. Im pretty sure we'd elect him President lol.
wisconsin is paralyzed…black flags are flying high.
THE BEST QB ever (and this is coming from a Minnesota Vikings season ticket holder) I've had the pleasure of seeing Brett play in the Metrodome many times as well as Green Bay. It is the end of an era and I can't believe how sad I feel I won't be seeing him play any longer. Although I did chant "Green Bay Sucks, Brett Favre Swallows" on game day, I always loved watching him play and liked the skill and guys he brought to the game of football.
Re: Stupid –
Olivia, Mary, No, itsme, jobabe and end of rainbow should all be kicked in the turd cutter… pathetic. You guys wouldn't know talent if it crawled out of your dumb ass.
A sad day in Wisco for sure. Favre will always be #1…we'll pull through though.
I am gonna miss him tremendously =(…it's a sad, sad day in Wisconsin and across this nation.
Here's one Wisconsin girl who'll be crying for a long time…Favre is the best!
i'd hit it.
Miry is not a true Packer fan. I am most definitely going to miss Brett leading to Pack, but I will not leave my team because he is retiring. Maybe this coming season will be our best..who knows? GO PACK GO!!! I am surely going to miss watching #4…
I'm from Wisconsin and yes, the state (the true Cheeseheads anyway) is paralyzed. There will never be another like him. He was the best on and off the field and will be so greatly missed. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES BRETT. YOU WILL BE MISSED!
Go Pack!!!!
I WISH SOMEONE WOULD TELL HIM HE LOOKS HORRIBLE W/ STUBBLE.
SOME MEN CAN PULL IT OFF, BUT HE LOOKS OLD & HOMELESS. IT'S TRUE.
Re: Claire – hey numbnuts, he HAS won a Super Bowl. You're a fucking useless twat. He has never publicly confirmed that he is retiring until today, he has only admitted he was considering retiring in previous seasons.
I live an hour from green bay and people are so depressed about this you'd think he died or something. But I am going to miss watching him play! I grew up watching him!
I live in WI, 15 minutes outside of Green Bay - it's all ANYONE is talking about this morning. I'm SOOO OVER IT already!!
