Well I would say that we’re regular people first of all and we’re normal and it’s obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we’re not immune to tragedy. – Brett Favre
It’s been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can’t believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything. – Brett Favre
With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I’m running out of chances. – 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
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
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. – Brett Favre
I, most talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside. – Brett Favre
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. – 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
Initially, I know that I handled it worse than she did and I think partly because I’ve always been… every bit of adversity I’ve faced up until the last year and a half is adversity I brought upon myself – or the opposing teams have given me. – Brett Favre
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. – Brett Favre
You have to play with the mentality that you are about to lose your job, and that they’re going to talk about ‘The Other Guy’ first. You have to think, ‘I want my name mentioned first.’ – Brett Favre
As a coach, they would love to sit there and say, ‘It’s going to be five steps, you’re going to hitch up into a perfect pocket, you’re going to look at number one – no; you’re going to go to number two – no.’ It doesn’t work that way. – 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
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
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
