Brett Favre Retirement Speech

As an avid sports fan, this was an interesting speech for me.

Brett's speech was filled with genuine emotion. His retirement from professional football was probably the hardest decision of his life. His speech had a loosely woven structure. He basically thanked God for his talent; he thanked the Packers for giving him a chance; and he thanked the fans for their support. He did not use any type of notes, but it did not come across as a memorized piece. He appeared to me to be speaking from his heart.

At one point in the speech, he seemed to be trying to answer the critics question of why he was retireing. His answer came across very vague.

At another point in the speech, he attempted to add a bit of humor when talking about his interception record.

All in all, the speech was somewhat rambling with a purpose. But, the rambling is very easily expected based on the reason for the speech.
