I was serious about retiring the first time, but the first week I was home my wife had SO many chores to do I went back. — Brett Favre

Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important. — Brett Favre

I didn’t know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that’s obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell. — Brett Favre

I don’t really care what’s going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought. — Brett Favre

My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she’s probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do. — Brett Favre

Every day is not perfect. — Brett Favre

Every day is not perfect. You have your bad days and good days just like anyone else. You do not want to talk to people sometimes. It is normal. — Brett Favre

The good teams are good at what they do. — Brett Favre

I know it’s not a one man team win or lose. — Brett Favre

I really believe this team has a lot of potential–whether it’s this year or in years to come, I don’t know. — Brett Favre

Most talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside. — Brett Favre

Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it’s a lesser player, but it’s all based on what a team has as far as value in that person. — Brett Favre

In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I’m enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football. — Brett Favre

So much of a professional athlete’s success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with… always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad. — Brett Favre

The town, the team, it’s a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don’t have football as an out. — Brett Favre

God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can’t handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn’t handle but we’ve dealt with it up until this point. — Brett Favre

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know. — Brett Favre

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life. — Brett Favre

That’s kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that’s hasn’t happened. — Brett Favre

I can’t believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football ’cause half of those eight or nine years I don’t even remember. — Brett Favre

The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional. — Brett Favre

I accomplished so many things, so early in my career. — Brett Favre

There wasn’t a better teacher or mentor out there than Reggie White, on or off the field. — Brett Favre

Every game I’ve ever played, regardless if it was pre–season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line. — Brett Favre

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career. — Brett Favre

I really like all music, but mostly Country, older R&B, and the good classic rock. — Brett Favre

It’s been a wonderful career, I couldn’t ask for anything more. — Brett Favre

It’s not so much about killing an animal, it’s being at peace and you don’t have to worry about all the other things that go on. That’s a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it’s nice to do that. — Brett Favre

With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I’m running out of chances. — Brett Favre

You’re only as good as your last pass. — Brett Favre

Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game. — Brett Favre

There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time. — Brett Favre
