When Grown Men Cry

Filed under: Zportz

Brett Favre gave a very emotional press conference on Thursday announcing his retirement from the NFL.

Click here to watch his touching goodbye from football.

We got choked up just watching him!

When a grown man cries, that's some serious shit. It's actually quite beautiful.

Goodbye, Brett!

He should do porn now…lots of emotion and drama in simple words…beautiful career…I've grown up in WI following him…he's hands down best at emotional sounds for a speech-another win…

Sad. I grew up in Wisconsin, watching Brett Favre every Sunday with my dad. I'm a huge Packer fan and this just makes me so sad!!

third? but that is not the point. Brett is a QB for the ages, I feel honored to have been rooting against him all these years.
Cheesehead Diane says – reply to this

I live in Wisconsin, and I'm not a football fan at all - But I've always had the greatest respect for Favre. He is a good guy, and a class act. I hope he enjoys his retirement. (Hopefully he'll go live somewhere where he can thaw out!)

Re: whydoireadursite –

Boring for you perhaps, but not for us who care about more than when Brit's going to see her kids, or who's on drugs this week. Bite your lip, and wait a few minutes for the next post that will do nothing to affect your life.

As for Favre, I'm sad to see him go. He's had a hell of a run, and I wish there were more athletes out there like him. The state of Wisconsin will miss watching him every week, and the Packer's simply will never be the same.

Why do they call them Packers ? hmmm any ideas perezilicous ? Are Packers the same as pillowbiters? Toodles Wisconsin …..why was favre always axing that big ole man to bendover and then favre would put his hands all up in side of that mans buttocks all tight like and then favre would just ho;d his hands there ,like a butt warmer for hands,kind of wierd.I guess a grown man in his late 30's will do anything to keep his hands warm,even in august…btw cody diablo was a stripper ,lol

I Love You Brett Farve!!!!! You were Green Bay. It won't be the same without you! I was praying you would play a least another year. it's the end of a era. Enjoy your retirement. Oh yeah, and anyone who has anything negative to say about this man is retarded, and don't know what your talking about. He is A LOT of people's hero. So many records broken, such a good person. He is a GOD to the people of Wisconsin. I love you and the Packer's. GO PACK!!!!
noonecares says – reply to this

59

um… that speech was WAY over dramatic! lol. He was talking like someone had just raped his mom or something. haha… good hell. When most people retire they don't go on and on like that. Haha. He was just trying to make it a big deal but over what i am not sure. It's just everyone now dayz has to try and outdo the last person in drama so I guess he gave it a good shot with his sobbing and sex sounds. I was laughing the whole time. yawn.
agree says – reply to this

60

Ya I agree, He was crying and talking like someone had beat up a baby and left it at a wendy's drivethru and he didn't get a frosty. It was a bit much of a speech for a retirement. Cry this and boo hoo here and there and all these sex sounds and hicups and I just starting laughing at it as it was so awful and over the top. There are more important things in life that far outweigh a retirement speech. Haha. NEXT

FARVEFART says – reply to this

62

now he is free to go be a fudgepacker with all the other tightends and have butt sex at the 69 yard line…. then he can go do steroids with roger celemens and such on his melons… He is just sad that he is old and grey now and won't be making as much money anymore and won't have as much attention or tv time or fame. He was just milking this "retirement speech" for EVERY ounce of drama he could do! WAY over the top. fuckin funny as hell! BABY CRY! hah

Dude needs a douche or something! Give him a binky or something! Is he teething? All that maufactured tears and such! Haha. This was funny as fuck! He should win an oscar! And hopefully they will cut his speech shorter than the one he just gave. Good lord. Is there now gonna be a reality show about his retirement speech? Shit, it was fuckin long enough. i baked a cake and solved world peace while he cried about giving a ball up. Now he knows how Lance Armstrong feels.
cakefuck says – reply to this

65

He Is really gonna miss the locker room and all those hot jocks and scrotums in the shower! That's why he was cryin so hard! my god what a fuckin baby! Someone stop this old fart and the boo hoo's! They went on and on and on and for what?! Haha… What a douche this pecker dude is! No one gives a shit when u started football or when u ended it. Thank god we don't have to hear u cry and tv again…. God that was long enough for me to bake a cake.

Thank you Perez for showing love to Brett! I'm from Wisconsin and LOVE the Packers! Brett is the only quarterback I've known! He made me a football fan and I will never forget being able to watch him play!!

Unless you are a Green Bay Packer fan and especially if you live In Green Bay like I do, you can not fully understand the magnitude of Brett Favre. Him and his family are amazing people who have done so much for little old Green Bay. Brett will truly be missed and everyone, whether you are a fan or not, is honored to have witnessed a legend. Brett is a class act through and through. Brett, we love you and you will be a Green Bay Packer for life in our hearts.

I wish men would just CRY sometimes. Just go ahead and cry, get it out.

Also I think when people go out of thier way to say God "blessed them" with this, that and the other it's just false modesty.
