You know, I've had my ups and downs.
Brett Favre
Image
With each game I play, with each season I play, I'm running out of chances. You're never guaranteed next year. You're never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it's there in front of you.
Brett Favre
Image
I've always shown up, always been prepared. Everything I do comes back to the example I want to set.
Brett Favre
Image
I love doing what I do.
Brett Favre

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.

In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.

Image
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
Image
It's fun leading this offense. I don't think we've hit our peak.
Brett Favre
Image
I'd like to think, eight years ago, I was pretty humble and modest. But I think, with each year, you get more modest, more humble, more appreciative. The off the field tragedies put things in better perspective, but life happens to everybody, and I think we all just try to do the best we can.

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

As you get older, you look at things differently.
Brett Favre
Image
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
Image
In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.

If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.
Brett Favre
Image
If I were to make a list, I would include the interceptions, the sacks, the really painful losses. Those times when I've been down, when I've been kicked around, I hold on to those. In a way those are the best times I've ever had, because that's when I've found out who I am. And what I want to be.
