when it comes to courage, arm strength, mobility, & a grit to win. Favre is #1 to me as the best ever

@dusdincorleone 4 года назад

Rahsaan Norris I grew up watching Bret Favre he was my favorite Quarterback to watch. That was when I was real young. I actually fell in love with the Patriots when I started to understand the sport. I started watching with Bledsoe he was great. Then Brady came along. Favre was amazing athletic wise. Brady is the smartest QB to ever play the game. He is the greatest at winning championships.

@jcrider392 2 года назад

As a die hard Cheesehead, will FOREVER be grateful for this man making my Pack relevant again. Favorite athlete of all time, any sport!

@nicKz 2 года назад

@@dusdincorleone Peyton Manning- smartest QB ever… Rodgers-most complete/efficient QB ever… Brady- rode coattails of great defenses

@admiralackbar8826 10 лет назад

This is true passion. Everyone who gave this a dislike, have probably never tried having a passion for something.

@CT-1255 3 года назад

It's most likely Packers fans who are pissed at him going to the vikings (I am not one)

@andrewpestotnik5495 9 лет назад

If only this was his only retirement....

@nickspadafora89 9 лет назад

Maybe the Packer franchise forced him to retire.

@andrewpestotnik5495 9 лет назад

No. He was under contract then just decided to retire

@guissepee 9 лет назад

andrew pestotnik THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

@bballer191 8 лет назад

+andrew pestotnik Favre struggled in his last year in Green Bay and he was feeling pressure from the fans and the organization to retire since the had Aaron Rodgers waiting in the wings. The organization didn't "make him retire," because he's a legend and arguably their franchise's greatest player ever. but they wanted him to volunteer. He was def feeling the pressure.

@Aliain12 7 лет назад

Andrew Pestotnik yes! It's like the packs were hinting at him to retire. Yes they had rogers in the wing. Favre felt he had more in him. So that's why he came out of retirement resentful at the Packers and himself I'm sure for convincing him to retire

@shanefarmer7193 2 года назад

Yeah I only watch this interview about every year or two. It still brings me to tears, everytime

@orionsbow 16 лет назад

History will undoubtedly list Brett Favre as one of the finest quarterbacks to have ever played the game. Sunday after Sunday, season over season, without a hitch, he was there. He played his heart out no matter what his team was doing or what the stats that year showed. Through winning seasons and those best forgotten, Favre never gave less than his total commitment to the game and played with the kind of consistant skill not often seen these days. He will be sorely missed. We love ya big guy.

@blackanimelover18 11 лет назад

I don't care what anyone says, his retirement might not have been real, but those tears were. He did love Green Bay and he gave his heart and soul for us Packer fans. One of the best I've ever seen right there.

@number1packerfan657 9 лет назад

MAN I WISH BRETT WAS STILL WITH MY HOME TEAM

@phoenix86 16 лет назад

Growing up as a Niners fan, Brett was the quarterback that I feared since he always spanked us. Yet, he was one of my favorite QBs, and considered him as the MJ of football. Thank you for all the great memories, Brett! You will be missed! :(

@danielbowman9330 7 лет назад

I love Tiny Moving Parts even more now for using this speech on a song

@bigdogchrisl 16 лет назад

Brett - YOU ARE THE MAN!! Thank you for EVERYTHING. Especially for being a role model for my son's. You are a true exception in this ERA - and as a father, I appreciate you being the man you are. You will be GREATLY missed in football - We look forward to seeing you "out there".

@davelm33 16 лет назад

I can't believe it. I had been a Raiders fan all of my life, and still am, but from the first time I saw Brett play, I was also a Packers fan. He was incredible the way he played the game like a kid, and he did it right up to the end. His off balanced short pass in the Seahawks playoff game was classic. The game is losing a legend, and someone who truly played the game the way it should be. Brett will be missed badly.

@favre16 12 лет назад

I live 10 mintues from Lambeau field, damn, I miss him. Brett was the best of my generation. Thanks for the memories Brett, I truly thank you for what you did for Green bay:)

@pizzle7 16 лет назад

As a lifelong bears fan the pack has always been my nemesis, but I take my hat off to Brett Farve. I only hope one day the bears get a quarterback with the heart of brett favre even if he doesnt have the arm. I'll miss watching this guy on sunday.

@MaizeAndBlueLover 16 лет назад

Without question, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and one of the finest human beings to ever live. Brett didn't play for the money or the fame, he played because of his love for football. The fact that he played so many consecutive games, lord knows he was injured in so many of them, shows what kind of a warrior he was and how much he loved to compete. God Bless you Brett! Thank you for the past 17 years. The game won't be the same without #4 on the field.

@roomforalan 15 лет назад

brought tears to my eyes.. so humble.. it's incredible

@gaucoin13 16 лет назад

Wow, I'm spent. This man is my football god and the reason I started watching the NFL. In the past I've wished he retired but I'm glad he stuck it out for another season, because his last one was amazing. He'll be sorely missed by the NFL and all of sports. Gotta love #4.

@LCE040490 10 лет назад

The packers forced him out of town. He still had a passion to play football which most players don't have

@cameronhirtle7316 4 года назад

He may have retired but that was not the Packers decision. You retire, you give up your spot. Period. Rodgers would not have resigned if they held onto Favre and TBH Favre lost the argument with the pick against the Saints in the NFC Championship. It was like his third pick to end a playoff for his team run that I can remember. Other two that come to mind are the Giants and the Eagles picks. He was still good, sure, but he could never shake that habit of throwing an ill-advised pass. It really killed him later in his career. He had a good laugh that first year with the Vikings, sweeping the Pack. Then next year was a disaster and Rodgers lead the Packers to a Championship. Yeah, Packers made the right move.

@cameronhirtle7316 3 года назад

@Scud Buster Those are the simple facts my friend. Without Rodgers we would have been average at best the last 12 years.

@lucifel07 16 лет назад

Oh! Poor Brett. I can't believe he really cried. Hell I'm going to miss him so much! This had to be so crazy hard for him, knowing how much he loves the game. He's so the man--the best ever!--and it's so hard to watch him give it up.

@DerekOldfield 16 лет назад

It's ashame that sports don't have more people like this man. I'd be honored for my kid to look up to Brett Favre.

@Citan71381 16 лет назад

Well spoken, so many players in the NFL today play for their own personal glory, ego, and greed. Favre was the last of a dying breed of true competitors who played for the love of the game, the fans, and for the sake of the league itself. Football isn't going to be the same without him, it's going to be tough getting used to not seeing him on sundays, and especially on monday nights, where he shined the most. Hope he still stays connected to the game in some capacity. Thanks for the memories

@insufferableinforma 16 лет назад

YOU will AWLAYS be our friend and In MY childhood memories as the greatest quarterback the gbp"s ever had...... I hope you never forget this.... You are a gbp Nomatter what jersey you choose to put on. I know your heart is filled with cheese and green and yell

@millerbluedeuce 16 лет назад

one of the greatest retiring, shows he has a good heart, he will be missed

@Citan71381 16 лет назад

Great to see fans of other teams throughout the NFL respect Brett so much. You are a true sportsman sir. Steve Young was a great quarterback as well, he doesn't get as much recognition as he should because he played in Montana's shadow. To be honest with you I used to worry when the packers had to face the niners in the playoffs because they always gave them a run for their money and finally did defeat them in the 1998 season. Thanks for the positive words man and God Bless!

@stephaniejane81 16 лет назад

ok, I only got to see the first 5 minutes on espn because I was in California at the time on vacation, but I just got back and watched the whole thing. I cried, but after watching the whole conference it made me get a little closure and as much as I want to keep watching him play, I feel better about his decision. What a football player, but especially what a guy. Can't say enough about him. He will be greatly missed, not just because he was so fun to watch, but because he was one of us...

@stephaniejane81 16 лет назад

I feel so blessed to have had this man as our quarterback for 16 years. You don't see that character in many NFL players these days. Yes, he may have started out cocky, but he grew and changed into a better person while still maintaining his same fun personality. no one like him, never will be again. and the stats honestly aren't what stick out to me, it's the way he played the game and how fun he was to watch. it's tough to let go, but like he said, all good things must come to an end...

@umhi21 13 лет назад

Think u can see how hard it was for him, and why it was so hard..think u can see why he came back multiple times..think u can see what a great teammate he was; think u can see how great and passionate #4 is as a man, think u can see why he is so loved and is a legend..think u can see why if kids and people in ALL sport should pick one person to immulate, and learn from, as a teammate and model player, it should be #4... think u can see his LOVE for the game people can say whatever they want

@brownschicken 16 лет назад

i teared up. man he really loves football. he's been playing longer than i've been alive, and giving something you've done for so long is really hard. When i retired it felt weird. Staying home, not working out, nothing to do. And it felt so weird watching espn talk about the nfl because i wasn't a part of it anymore. I wished i was a rookie so bad haha.

@immortalgram 16 лет назад

@scuballica 16 лет назад

Your presence and demeanor on and off the field should be a guide for all those that are currently and will play in the in any sport and at any age. You are the greatest quarterback in NFL history...you are the great man...and Sundays will never be the same without you Mr. Favre. Thank you for all the memories. It has been a memorable and majic ride brother. May God bless you and your family while you enjoy your retirement.

@pmurphy5657 13 лет назад

Used to love him. But I listened to this speech on the way to Green Bay after my Mom died - from Alzheimers She had not recognized me for almost 2 years. I was crying all the way down, feeling guilty becauae I loved my Mom, but loved Brett as well. But then he goes on to to do what he did. Will take me some time to recover from that...

@RadxxRyan 14 лет назад

@scuballica 16 лет назад

Also, for those that wonder why he cried...I hope that there is something you love in your lifetime that when its time is over, you cry too. Obviously you have never played in ANY organized sports...and no...kite flying doesn't count...and you have never been in the military. But when you go out every week and dedicate your life to something that you truely love, when you have to walk away from it...you do just what he did...leave it all on the field. Dedication and love for the game. Honorable.

@gowallygo 16 лет назад

Brett, you were the greatest ever to play the game. What you were able to on the field was nothing short of amazing. The man you are off the field is what makes you a role model. Honest, human, approachable...you were, and are all of these. You and your beautiful wife have meant so much to our community in NE Wisconsin. You will ever be missed, and NEVER forgotten. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!

@grayson2503 14 лет назад

I'm a life long Cowboys fan, but have always followed the Packers and rooted for them as well mainly because of my respect for Favre, not just for his talent, but because he seems like a great guy who has fun playing the game. It has to be hard saying goodbye to what you have known and loved your whole life. I'll still be watching GB since they signed Graham Harrell this off season because now I have a new QB to hope/root for. Wreck 'Em Tech.

@catesrocko 16 лет назад

I can die a happy man as I stick it to all the people who ribbed me and my team over the years here in Titletown, I mean Brew City. You couldn't have written a better script. ::Vikings horn::
