Favre retires after 18 record-setting seasons

NEW YORK: Brett Favre retired again on Wednesday and insisted he won't look back. Well, at least for now.

"I have no reason to wonder why you would be so skeptical," Favre said with a slight chuckle after announcing he was leaving the NFL after 18 record-setting seasons.

Favre, who retired last March only to return a few months later, kept this goodbye simple - no tearful farewell or jam-packed news conference. He spoke to the New York Jets, telling owner Woody Johnson, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan that he was calling it a career.
