Favre finally had his press conference.

Many attended, knowing what he would say: “I retire.”

He said he appreciated a lot of the time, thought he reached his threshold.

Promised not to cry.

Then cried.

“I promised I wouldn’t get emotional,” he said. But as the tears flowed, he added, “I’ve watched hundreds of players retire and you wonder what that would be like. You think you’re prepared …”

Think his promise to not come back can be trusted?

Don’t be naive.

UPDATE:
AOL Fanhouse had a link to a video tribute to Favre’s career interceptions… quite entertaining. “Simply the Best” plays in the background…
