Stunned. Shocked. 

I can't believe that the heart of my beloved Green Bay Packers is hanging up the cleats. Regardless, I completely respect and understand Brett's decision to retire. He holds all those NFL records, 3 MVPs, and a Super Bowl title. All I can say is Thank You Brett Favre for the years of memories (and near heart attacks). God bless you and your family for the fun and excitement you've delivered over the years! You'll always be the heart of the Green Bay Packers to me.
