... You have to admit, though, that IGN’s tribute to Brett Favre the video game character is kind of cool. When you think about it, Favre has been in almost as many video games as Sonic the Hedgehog. Maybe if the Packers could have signed Sonic to be a receiver, Favre might have come back for one more season. ...

Your secret is safe with me, Brett Favre

I'm sure it's not a coincidence that the Packers website "accidentally" announced your retirement with a post that was only online for a few minutes, and then a few days later, you actually retired.
