Quarterback Brett Favre Reportedly Turns in Retirement Paperwork

NFL quarterback Brett Favre has filed retirement papers, two sources told FOXSports.com Monday.

While Favre could still change his mind, as he did during the 2008 and 2009 offseasons, there is no indication the granddaddy gunslinger will return this time.

The 41-year-old quarterback stated 2010 was his final season after rejoining the Minnesota Vikings in August and reiterated that intent throughout an injury-plagued campaign.

Favre's NFL-record string of 297 consecutive regular season starts ended last month when he was forced to miss a mid-December game against the New York Giants because of a shoulder injury. Favre returned the following week against Chicago but suffered a concussion that sidelined him for Minnesota's final two contests.

time catches up with all jocks and their manjunk. Good riddance.
