Brett Favre Quotes (213 Quotes)


    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.


    That's the first time I've ever played in a game where we scored 50 points. Who would have guessed it We're 0-4, struggling, more guys hurt and even lose guys during the course of the game. But I've played long enough to know that if you do things the right way, if you study, prepare and believe, things will go your way.

    I hate to compare this to the tsunami. But in a small area, it was like that.

    I've played against those guys a lot of times, but I really felt like going into this game that this was the best I've ever seen their defense play. After this game, I still feel that way.


    No one can go in, ... No one can come out. There's no cell phones working. There's no land phones working. Half the county is under water, from what I understand. . . . In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. . . . This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help . . . but I don't even know where to start. It's tough to focus on anything right now because I'm very concerned.

    I know I have to make some decisions. But it's not about me anymore. My wife has gone through some difficult times and continues to. That will play into my decision-making. I know if my family were up here with me, they'd say, 'He's coming back. We're not going to let him go out like that.' But I also have to be fair to them, too. They'll be involved in it. It's a good thing to still be physically able to play. But in some ways you almost want that decision to be made for you. That's not the case. I know the Packers would love to have me back. At least I think they would. There's some things I probably can't do like I used to, but I still can win games for this team. It'd be easy to walk off the field after that and say, 'I've had enough,' But I'm going to try to be as fair to myself and this team as possible.

    I don't know where all this talk came from, ... It has been going on five years, and I'm still playing. It has become a running joke 'When is he going to retire'

    I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.

    If you just handpick 10 people off the street, probably half of them had some type of tragedy in their life, ... The difference in my case is that everyone knows about it.
