Brett favre should i quit

I never thought I would ever put the words "quit" and "Favre" negatively in the same thought considering this is the man who started games straight, if you include the playoffs. When explaining his decision Favre gave mental fatigue as one of his main reasons for leaving. But the one thing that caught my attention was his assertion that the expectations going into this season were high and that anything less than a Super Bowl would be a huge disappointment.

Is this the same Brett Favre who said last season that he was coming back because of the talent he saw on the Packers? Where was the talk then about how much of a disappointment missing the Super Bowl would be?

But then again, that was before the Packers went and were a game away from playing for the Lombardi Trophy. Trotting out your year-old-or-so mother to fire the first salvo in this war. Instead of acting like a man, you trotted her out what seems like a hundred years ago to state how the Packers didn't want you back and how the Packers were not respecting you.

How about respecting your mother and not requiring her to launch the first missle? You know what they say—charity begins at home OR in the offices of my business agent.

Your pick in the NFC Championship game. Guess what, Brett? You were all constipated there. Cold, wasn't it? There were actually other teammates there who have families, talent, and even charitable foundations.

But, you wanted a warm tent and, when it didn't happen, you just decided to try to stick it in somewhere. Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre said that he "almost wanted to kill" himself while quitting his painkiller addiction following the Packers' season. Eight pills would not do what I needed it to do.

I was low. Favre said he was in disbelief about what he had done that night and was mad in the moment because quitting cold turkey is dangerous. I was clean. It took me a couple months to where I started getting over, I want these pain pills real bad , that urge. His addiction began early in his career as he played through injuries, spanning from to '97, including Green Bay's Super Bowl season.

The retired quarterback pinpointed the specific game when it began—against the Eagles in , when he separated his shoulder. He wasn't immediately addicted, though.

Favre injured his ankle a few weeks later, and although it wasn't bad enough for painkillers, he remembered how taking the pills made him feel. He asked for more. It was two pills that gave me a buzz, and then it was four," Favre said.

A doctor in Green Bay discovered the abuse when he was treating Favre after the quarterback had a seizure.
