Brett Favre Player Quotations

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.

I think every player should think that he's a difference maker.

I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.

I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room.

Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it's a lesser player, but it's all based on what a team has as far as value in that person.

He may have been best player I've ever seen and certainly was the best I've ever played with or against,

You have to believe you're great. You have to have an air about you. My success wasn't because I was a great talent, but because I wanted it more than anybody else. Every minute I step on that field, I want to prove I'm the best player in the league.

That first year I won it, I never thought about it. I'm sure most guys in this locker room consider themselves pretty good, at least to themselves when they go home or whatever. I knew what I was doing was special, but to be the best football player in the world, I don't know if that ever really crossed my mind.
