Sad. Even though he kicked our butts in Detroit a couple of dozen times or so. The man is a legend and it was a pleasure to watch him play. he will be missed.

Now that I've got my tears under control all I can say is I am sad and confused.
I thought after his best season last year that he would be coming back for sure, but maybe that's his reasoning. Leave while still on top.
I'll miss Brett and the spirit he brings to the game. I'll miss watching that child-like playfulness he has always had.
Now I am also worried. What the heck will we do for a QB?? You can't have a QB that is injury prone. What the heck will we do?
I also wonder if Donald will retire now. He and Favre were very close.
I hope Brett decides to come back and be a QB coach. He would certainly be excellent as one.
He does deserve time with his family. He has been through so much.
I will miss him greatly and the Packers have a lot of loose ends to tie up now.
I certainly thank him for all 17 years of wonderful football and fun times. He is an incredible athlete and human being.
What a sad day this is.

OOOOps I meant Favre .... Heart Heart.....
( No disrespect meant !!)

I am so sad to hear that Brett won't be back this coming season, but I am a die hard Packer fan and I will cheer on the new QB too.
I remember when Brett first became the Packers starting QB. While watching one of the games with a big group of people, he threw an interception. A lot of the people were yelling to get him off the field. I kept watching. I turned around and told everyone that this guy is different...that hes got something special going on. All he has to do is refine it some. I said "this guy is going to be one of the best". Well I was only partially right...he is THE best. Thanks for 17 years of great memories, Brett. Sunday's won't be the same without you. Thank you also for the chance to tell the naysayers "I TOLD YOU SO!"

And I'm sorry if I spelled your names wrong!!

I am not surprised. Sooner or later we would come to this. He gave a great season last year so on to the new. God bless Favre and thanks for the memories we know all good things must come to an end.

It has been A great 16 year run for us packer fans! We have watched you grow into a man before our eyes, what an outstanding person you are. You have faced many personal challenges in both your personal and professional life. You have been a true inspiration both on and off the field. Thanks for all the wonderful memories! It won't be the same with out you!! God Bless you as you open a new chapter in your life!

Thanks for 17 great seasons Brett. You and your fellow Cheeseheads beat my beloved Patriots in a SuperBowl back in the day but I always loved watching you play!
Good luck in your future undertakings.

Not sad, not glad, not confused. He's had a good career and good luck in retirement from the game. My real concern in for John Madden and the Blitz team - who will they slobber all over now?

I think he blames himself for the loss to the Giants. That last interception was a killer.
I just thank him for all of those years of pure joy and emotion.
He made football fun again and that was for the whole league not just at home here. He was loved everywhere.
