![Peyton Manning Emotional Retirement Speech [FULL REMARKS]](/img/n.gif)
when it comes to courage, arm strength, mobility, & a grit to win. Favre is #1 to me as the best ever
Rahsaan Norris I grew up watching Bret Favre he was my favorite Quarterback to watch. That was when I was real young. I actually fell in love with the Patriots when I started to understand the sport. I started watching with Bledsoe he was great. Then Brady came along. Favre was amazing athletic wise. Brady is the smartest QB to ever play the game. He is the greatest at winning championships.
As a die hard Cheesehead, will FOREVER be grateful for this man making my Pack relevant again. Favorite athlete of all time, any sport!
@@dusdincorleone Peyton Manning- smartest QB ever… Rodgers-most complete/efficient QB ever… Brady- rode coattails of great defenses
Tiny Moving Parts, anyone?
Yep haha I thought this was who it was and I had to make sure.
+Luke Dunne Yeah, I've been trying to figure out where that soundbyte on I and II was from, and it led me here.
omg yes
yappp
Pussy! If he were a real man he wouldnt have balled like a bitch, He disgusts me, poor excuse for a man. Walk away with your head up, thats being a real man! He is a little girl, put a dress on him, he is completely pathetic!
This is true passion. Everyone who gave this a dislike, have probably never tried having a passion for something.
It's most likely Packers fans who are pissed at him going to the vikings (I am not one)
"I played the game one way.. the only way I knew how"
Aint that the truth, and we love you for it Brett.
If only this was his only retirement....
Maybe the Packer franchise forced him to retire.
No. He was under contract then just decided to retire
andrew pestotnik THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
+andrew pestotnik Favre struggled in his last year in Green Bay and he was feeling pressure from the fans and the organization to retire since the had Aaron Rodgers waiting in the wings. The organization didn't "make him retire," because he's a legend and arguably their franchise's greatest player ever. but they wanted him to volunteer. He was def feeling the pressure.
Andrew Pestotnik yes! It's like the packs were hinting at him to retire. Yes they had rogers in the wing. Favre felt he had more in him. So that's why he came out of retirement resentful at the Packers and himself I'm sure for convincing him to retire
that's emotion that's love for the game. At its best
Yeah I only watch this interview about every year or two. It still brings me to tears, everytime
History will undoubtedly list Brett Favre as one of the finest quarterbacks to have ever played the game. Sunday after Sunday, season over season, without a hitch, he was there. He played his heart out no matter what his team was doing or what the stats that year showed. Through winning seasons and those best forgotten, Favre never gave less than his total commitment to the game and played with the kind of consistant skill not often seen these days. He will be sorely missed. We love ya big guy.
I don't care what anyone says, his retirement might not have been real, but those tears were. He did love Green Bay and he gave his heart and soul for us Packer fans. One of the best I've ever seen right there.
As a lifelong bears fan the pack has always been my nemesis, but I take my hat off to Brett Farve. I only hope one day the bears get a quarterback with the heart of brett favre even if he doesnt have the arm. I'll miss watching this guy on sunday.
Growing up as a Niners fan, Brett was the quarterback that I feared since he always spanked us. Yet, he was one of my favorite QBs, and considered him as the MJ of football.
Thank you for all the great memories, Brett! You will be missed! :(
MAN I WISH BRETT WAS STILL WITH MY HOME TEAM
I love Tiny Moving Parts even more now for using this speech on a song
I can't believe it. I had been a Raiders fan all of my life, and still am, but from the first time I saw Brett play, I was also a Packers fan. He was incredible the way he played the game like a kid, and he did it right up to the end. His off balanced short pass in the Seahawks playoff game was classic. The game is losing a legend, and someone who truly played the game the way it should be. Brett will be missed badly.
Brett - YOU ARE THE MAN!! Thank you for EVERYTHING. Especially for being a role model for my son's. You are a true exception in this ERA - and as a father, I appreciate you being the man you are.
You will be GREATLY missed in football - We look forward to seeing you "out there".
brett says: "i've watched hundreds of players retire." well, i've watched brett retire hundreds of times.
how does this comment not have viral status lol
underrated comment
Without question, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and one of the finest human beings to ever live. Brett didn't play for the money or the fame, he played because of his love for football. The fact that he played so many consecutive games, lord knows he was injured in so many of them, shows what kind of a warrior he was and how much he loved to compete.
God Bless you Brett! Thank you for the past 17 years. The game won't be the same without #4 on the field.
The packers forced him out of town. He still had a passion to play football which most players don't have
He may have retired but that was not the Packers decision. You retire, you give up your spot. Period. Rodgers would not have resigned if they held onto Favre and TBH Favre lost the argument with the pick against the Saints in the NFC Championship. It was like his third pick to end a playoff for his team run that I can remember. Other two that come to mind are the Giants and the Eagles picks. He was still good, sure, but he could never shake that habit of throwing an ill-advised pass. It really killed him later in his career. He had a good laugh that first year with the Vikings, sweeping the Pack. Then next year was a disaster and Rodgers lead the Packers to a Championship. Yeah, Packers made the right move.
@Scud Buster Those are the simple facts my friend. Without Rodgers we would have been average at best the last 12 years.
Brett gave Packer fans a hope start into the week every week. We didn't always win but we always felt like we had a chance...thats hope. It's why it's why the journey is called the important part. Bc through that your building of hope nears fruition through the attitude of never giving up
I live 10 mintues from Lambeau field, damn, I miss him. Brett was the best of my generation. Thanks for the memories Brett, I truly thank you for what you did for Green bay:)
Wow, I'm spent. This man is my football god and the reason I started watching the NFL. In the past I've wished he retired but I'm glad he stuck it out for another season, because his last one was amazing. He'll be sorely missed by the NFL and all of sports.
Gotta love #4.
I don't see anything wrong with his crying just shows how much he loved football and he's just remembering all those good memories he had when he was playing.
brought tears to my eyes.. so humble.. it's incredible
I've looked up to that man all my life. To see him emotional like that really effects me. I made a promise to myself that I would save up money to go watch him play next season before he retires. I guess I was to late.
Brett favre. I was born the year this great man started to play football.
Brett favre is hands down the most Honorable player in the NFL ever.
All you kids who hate him or who think he is bad just watch this man
He goes out as the most respected player in the nfl
We will all miss you brett
One of the greats! Long Live Favre!!!
When you realize the truth that any game is bigger than the player and you truly believe it, your ceiling is unlimited with matching dedication
I feel so blessed to have had this man as our quarterback for 16 years. You don't see that character in many NFL players these days. Yes, he may have started out cocky, but he grew and changed into a better person while still maintaining his same fun personality. no one like him, never will be again. and the stats honestly aren't what stick out to me, it's the way he played the game and how fun he was to watch. it's tough to let go, but like he said, all good things must come to an end...
People forget other greats like Troy Aikman for example teared up during their retirement speeches. When you're an athlete for that long it becomes a part of your identity. The guy loved to play football. That's how his fellow players and fans will always remember him.
Oh! Poor Brett. I can't believe he really cried. Hell I'm going to miss him so much! This had to be so crazy hard for him, knowing how much he loves the game. He's so the man--the best ever!--and it's so hard to watch him give it up.
Lifetime Bears fan...hated playing against this guy, but I have nothing but respect...great guy.
It's really sad because Farve didn't even want to reitre, Green Bay kind of pushed him out.
right
kamryn cooley that's what I was thinking
Is this true? Cuz he came back the next season in just a couple of months haha. He signed with the jets i think
And? People get cut by teams all the time? They wanted to move on. They didn’t want to cut him, he didn’t HAVE to retire.
As aBears fan, I couldn't help but tear up a little bit.
For as long as I've hated Brett Farve for what he's done to the Bears over the years, I can't help but miss him for some reason.
im a huge bears fan...and im gonna miss the hell out of brett favre. dont leave man.
My favorite player of all time
He will definitely be the greatest Quarterback to ever play the game. He was the most durable, strongest, and had the biggest heart.
Thank you Brett for everything you did and stood for. You make all of us very proud. Southern Miss! To The Top!
Wrong Tom Brady
He likes all of the vikings players too. It seems like they really are in sync with him too.
The best, most inspiring man to live.
he was always the greatest. i fell really bad for him, cause he loves the game ALOT
One of the best and emotional retirement speeches in sports history.
Well spoken, so many players in the NFL today play for their own personal glory, ego, and greed. Favre was the last of a dying breed of true competitors who played for the love of the game, the fans, and for the sake of the league itself. Football isn't going to be the same without him, it's going to be tough getting used to not seeing him on sundays, and especially on monday nights, where he shined the most. Hope he still stays connected to the game in some capacity. Thanks for the memories
We love you, Brent!
im a huge bears fan, in case my name didnt give that away, and i still think he is one of the best football players whos ever played the game or ever will. i am saying that as a bearsfan. he is a true hero.
Wow. He got really emotional. Didnt expect that. He'll definitely be missed by millions of fans.
Im criyng, dam it, y used to watch the games with my family, and everybody became packers fan because of him. He es a truly heroe for me. Well done Mr Favre.
Think u can see how hard it was for him, and why it was so hard..think u can see why he came back multiple times..think u can see what a great teammate he was; think u can see how great and passionate #4 is as a man, think u can see why he is so loved and is a legend..think u can see why if kids and people in ALL sport should pick one person to immulate, and learn from, as a teammate and model player, it should be #4... think u can see his LOVE for the game
people can say whatever they want
Forever Favre... he's always been a big role model for me... #1 Brett Favre
i teared up.
man he really loves football.
he's been playing longer than i've been alive, and giving something you've done for so long is really hard.
When i retired it felt weird. Staying home, not working out, nothing to do. And it felt so weird watching espn talk about the nfl because i wasn't a part of it anymore. I wished i was a rookie so bad haha.
I'm a Giants fan and I have the utmost respect for Brett. He's one of the greatest players to play the game and I'm glad he's back in 2010. Gonna be another exciting NFL season. Haters - you're not real football fans.
favre u are the best, great memories... u will be forever missed
Truly a sad story. What an excellent person. Can't wait until he's in the HOF
He sent photos of his crotch to cheerleaders.. He's an adulterer many times over.
Devilz DandruFF are you keeping count and judging?
I feel sorry for him. When all you know is football and then coming to that decision to walk away is tough. I'm glad that he is back, and I hope that he wins the Superbowl. He is a true sportsman and a sturdy quarterback.
It's ashame that sports don't have more people like this man. I'd be honored for my kid to look up to Brett Favre.
Used to love him. But I listened to this speech on the way to Green Bay after my Mom died - from Alzheimers She had not recognized me for almost 2 years. I was crying all the way down, feeling guilty becauae I loved my Mom, but loved Brett as well. But then he goes on to to do what he did. Will take me some time to recover from that...
#1 Bart Starr
#2 Johnny Unitas
#3 Brett Favre
This guy is THE reason I stayed a packer fan through all the rough times. Everytime the pack were down and out i always hung on to that hope that in the 4th quarter Brett would bail us out. To have done what he did is amazing and will never be repeated. This man PLAYED through at least 50 reported injuries in his career to keep the streak alive which is nothing short of miraculous. Have fun with Deanna and the kids Brett.
ok, I only got to see the first 5 minutes on espn because I was in California at the time on vacation, but I just got back and watched the whole thing. I cried, but after watching the whole conference it made me get a little closure and as much as I want to keep watching him play, I feel better about his decision. What a football player, but especially what a guy. Can't say enough about him. He will be greatly missed, not just because he was so fun to watch, but because he was one of us...
ive been watching him since i was a baby, and im 16 now. i dont know what im going to do when he really retires. hes always been my favorite player :/ i love watching him so much. theres never been a dull game hes played in. i wish i couldve actually went to a game when he was with the packers or even this year. i was there when him and the jets gave the titans their first loss of the season last year.. hes an amazing player i dont know why anyone could hate him, he just wants to play
he is still a packer at his heart and soul. hes a true man in this press conference. he shows how much he loves the game and the packers. hes just having a tough time leaving it. thats why hes still here. football has got alot of attention because this is Brett Favres game the the heart and soul of the game of football.
brett favre we will miss you. you are a GREAT qb.
Also, for those that wonder why he cried...I hope that there is something you love in your lifetime that when its time is over, you cry too. Obviously you have never played in ANY organized sports...and no...kite flying doesn't count...and you have never been in the military. But when you go out every week and dedicate your life to something that you truely love, when you have to walk away from it...you do just what he did...leave it all on the field. Dedication and love for the game. Honorable.
I still love Brett Favre. Even if he went to Minnesota. Him, the Packers (Especially the Reggie White years) are a part of my childhood. He gave us a super bowl.
I sure as hell will miss you Brett.
You are truly one of the best, and always will be.
God Bless you Brett
Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
Brett if u see my comment i want u to know i'm your biggest fan i write poems, story's dang i cry when i saw u in the new jets and vikings uniforms i'm 13 and Brett u r my remodel to do my best in school. All packers fan loves u and missed you.
Im his age now. The message resonates louder and he doesnt look as old as he did to me in 08
Theres a time to let go to start anew
Yeah Vikings fan here mate. There ain't nobody who feels more emotion than fans of the Vikes, Bears, and Packers. Obviously he spanked us up good for many seasons but still...you don't see great players like this every day.
God Bless
one of the greatest retiring, shows he has a good heart, he will be missed
Thanks for everything Brett! You are a true hero and someone who we are proud to have our children look up to. Here's to a long, happy, healthy retirement!!
Favre is still a beast. Going to the Longhall of fame for sure.
I'm a life long Cowboys fan, but have always followed the Packers and rooted for them as well mainly because of my respect for Favre, not just for his talent, but because he seems like a great guy who has fun playing the game. It has to be hard saying goodbye to what you have known and loved your whole life. I'll still be watching GB since they signed Graham Harrell this off season because now I have a new QB to hope/root for. Wreck 'Em Tech.
im not really a big fan of the Pack, but i am a big fan of brett favre. i'm gonna miss his comebacks and his deep throws.
when its all said and done. Brett Favre transcended the game through his throw. He was the first qb to pioneer throwing off two feet. He aced it
Great to see fans of other teams throughout the NFL respect Brett so much. You are a true sportsman sir. Steve Young was a great quarterback as well, he doesn't get as much recognition as he should because he played in Montana's shadow. To be honest with you I used to worry when the packers had to face the niners in the playoffs because they always gave them a run for their money and finally did defeat them in the 1998 season. Thanks for the positive words man and God Bless!
Here's the thing though, his performance doesn't warrant people saying he should stay retired. He's been performing at an All-pro level, and he's only 38!
back when he was still likeable. when he first retired it was so sad.
most class of any player out there right now. I like the Giants, and I'm pissed they intercepted his last pass. What a class act. Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens should take a page from this guy. So much class, everyone is actually sad to see him go.
He's crying...that's so touching.
im a seahawks fan, but i have to say. Brett farve was the best quarterback in the nfl EVER
Your presence and demeanor on and off the field should be a guide for all those that are currently and will play in the in any sport and at any age. You are the greatest quarterback in NFL history...you are the great man...and Sundays will never be the same without you Mr. Favre. Thank you for all the memories. It has been a memorable and majic ride brother. May God bless you and your family while you enjoy your retirement.
I cant even imagine the Packers without Favre. He still has the energy and the arm to play another 2-3 years or more.
I get tired of the haters who forget ALL That he did for 16 YEARS for the Packers and the hope, however temporary, he gave to the Jets. He was an emotional player yes, yet that didn't bother Packer fans when he led the Pack to the best record in the NFL for a 16 year period.
Congratulations Brett on a fantastic career.
We'll never forget you, Brent.
I watched this video over and over again and I cried, over and over again. Like most of us, I wish he'd have gone out like this...as our big brother, our son. So betrayed many of us true Cheeseheads were when he went to the Jets, then slapped us in the face a MN Viking. It's strange, because I spent the last few seasons resenting and hating him, But watching this, I'd like to think that he truly meant what he said. And I still think there was no better place for him than with the GB Packers.
I've only cryed over two Retirement 's John Elway's and Brett Favre's. There my top two QB's ever. And I know I'll cry when Peyton Manning Retires. I use to be a QB that's why I love those guy's.
I Love you Brett Favre, do not ever retire again, I love watching you play!!!!
you are the greatest qb, I just enjoy watching you play soooo much, your face expressions of happiness after a touch down and even in the sad moments you are so true to yo urself, you show so much emotion and feelings. you are my football Hero!!!!
Class Act. One of the best representives of the NFL. And I'm a Bears fan.
You gave us a great ride, Brett! You will be missed..not only in Wisconsin .. but all over the country!
You are THE BEST..NOW AND FOREVER!
LONG LIVE #4.
Its not that he is just an amazing player, what an amazing MAN. Loyal, courageous, and one of the most real and honest the world has ever known.
He will always be a Packer to me, I live 10 minutes from Lambeau, He's. "simply the best ever" in my era of life. Thanks Brett I will always support you:)
Since then he's come back TWICE!
I hope you play for another five seasons, Brett! Thank you for coming back to the NFL this season. It's been a lot of fun watching you play.
I love Brett Farve. 40 years old and still going!
He said he knew he could play and he still can! Go Broadway Brett!
In my opinion he was the definition of GREATNESS. This man did things that were so remarkable. I am born and raised cheesehead and will cherish all of Brett's moments, Thanks Brett for everything.
It's hard to imagine football w\o him.
shows how much you really follow football, when Farve left Green Bay he went to New York, then the following (this coming season) HE IS GOING TO THE VIKINGS
Which retirement is this? 1,2, or 3?
I love it! I'm a 19 year Vikings fan born and raised in Milwaukee and I have the perfect perspective on everything. My god friend is a Jets fan too so the situation is simply surreal. I can die a happy man as I stick it to all the people who ribbed me and my team over the years here in Titletown, I mean Brew City. You couldn't have written a better script. ::Vikings horn::
I LOVE Brett Favre. He CAN'T WALK AWAY. He NEVER could walk away. Every game he got injured, the love he has shown. WHAT DID YOU FOOLS EXPECT HE WOULD DO, RETIRE AT 37?! He's not poking for drama, he is just in love with football. Damn kids are so unbelievably foolish.
i dont know why people hate this guy because he retired then played again cut him some slack this was really hard for him and he loves this sport
I will always love u Favre.
