Favre Reflects On Retirement From Training Camp (Article)
He continued, “I miss the guys, but I’ll have to wait ’til September I suppose. Would it be nice to bond with young players and perhaps get on the same page with my offense, of course that would be nice, but I have to face the facts that I’m a 40 year old Quarterback. What other choice do I have?”
Speculations have been made that he may retire for the regular season, he spoke to that with obvious emotion. “I know that sooner or later I will have to retire from the regular season.Will it be hard to come into the lineup in January, sure, especially after Christmas vacation, but that’s just the natural progression of things. The time will come when I just have to say I’m retiring until the Superbowl. That time is not too far off. But for now I take solace in the fact that I get to play football come September,” He then turned to the media adding with an ironic laugh: “You know if I my leg ankle feels better.”
