again he has been discussing this "decision" for the last 5 - 6 years, he cried "i have nothing left to give" and he also "retired" with the jets

Jets retirement was business decision. Jets avoided all the penalties they'd have if they just traded him.
(Edit after 15min...)
Well, I'm in my mid thirties, I don't fan anybody, to any extent anyway, not anymore.
Mid-late '90s I hated Favre. I hated his style of backyard football, something great out of nothing. He beat great Dallas team and won, my favorite character Bill Parcells', Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Then 2006 internet made following NFL so much easier in northern europe.
I found that he was still doing it, ok, cool.
In 2007 I was already sure that if somebody could stop the Patriots it was Favre and his backyard football.
Well... you know.
Now we don't get all those US news that probably followed him all too much in the next offseason. So it didn't annoy me.
Jets year was ok, made them better for sure. Faded with injury in the end, threw pics and fumbled. Sigh, done, maybe?
Then I saw his first pic with Vikings, he looked old!(But not that much older than me) Then the wins started and I started to believe.
Daumn, this year! Hell yeah. I was so afraid before that Dallas PO game. And it went like breeze. ( pun )
I know that everybody plays with pain in the NFL. But how often do you see it nowadays like you did last Sunday ?
I mean he was set to fall, but he didn't. And then maybe he did? He wasn't perfect, but he was a warrior. Maybe he is attraction junkie. Primadonna and all that.
Of the field.
No guts, no glory - last sunday we had both!
( Apologize for this. I'll address this issue next time... I guess right before, or after training camp )
