Biloxi paper: Packers quarterback Brett Favre is retiring
Press-Gazette


The Brett Favre era apparently is over.

The man who has been the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback for all but three games of the last 16 seasons, reportedly is retiring.

Favre’s brother, Scott, told the Biloxi (Miss.) Sun Herald’s Al Jones, who is close to the Favre family, that Brett is retiring.

Jones also reported that Brett Favre has told Packers coach Mike McCarthy that he’s retiring.

Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, told ESPN.com’s Chris Mortensen that Favre told McCarthy of his decision on Monday night. Cook also said there are no plans at this time for Favre to hold a press conference.
