Farve Decides To Call It Quits

After 17 seasons, all of which were played with the Green Bay Packers, Brett Farve decided Tuesday to end his career. For the last three years, Farve flirted with retiring but could never pull the string. Now he is done for good. He is going to call it a career, and some career it was.

Farve is a super bowl champion, having been a part of the team when they won Super Bowl XXXI. He also is the record holder for most touch down passes with 442, as well as passing yards with 61,655 and wins as a starter with 160.

In his career Farve has completed 5,377 of his 8,758 passes. He has won three MVP awards. The Falcons selected him 31st overall in the 1991 draft, but then traded him to the Packers. Farve started his career against the Cincinnati Bengals, a game which he won. His final game was in the NFC Championship game, a loss against the New York Giants.
