Green Bay Packers' quarterback Brett Favre runs off the field as the final seconds run off the clock in their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers for the NFC Central title, in Green Bay, Wis., in this Dec. 24, 1995 file photo. The Packers won 24-19 to win the NFC Central title for the first time since 1972. Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. FOX Sports first reported Tuesday March 4, 2008 that the Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few days. Farve retiring?? How sad!! He will be missed! I guess when it’s time to go, the best way to do so is with a record like his!

From: Yahoosports He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League, and he is able to walk away from the game on his own terms— not many players are able to do that,” Packers general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday.  Favre’s agent Bus Cook said the 38-year-old quarterback told him of his decision Monday night.  “Nobody pushed Bret Favre out the door, but then nobody encouraged him not to go out that door, either,” Cook said by phone from his Hattiesburg, Miss., office.

FOX Sports first reported Tuesday that the three-time MVP planned to retire.
