No second thoughts as Brett Favre packs it in

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre bid an emotional goodbye to the NFL on Thursday, making it clear he had no second thoughts about his decision to retire.Two days after informing the Packers he would not be back for an 18th season, Favre met with the media at Lambeau Field and within seconds of stepping to the podium was waging a losing battle to hold back the tears.

“As they say, all good things must come to an end, I look forward to whatever the future may hold for me,” the 38-year-old told a televised news conference, his voice cracking. “It’s been a great career, it’s over.

“I’ve given everything I possibly can give to this organization, to the game of football and I don’t think I’ve anything left to give.

“I know I can play but I don’t think I want to.”
