    Any mental issues that you will be dealing with in the future, your family will be dealing with also.

    A small matter that he played 20 years in pro football...a big matter is that he’s been playing organized full-contact 🏈 football since he was 6 years old.
  • I am a die hard Packers fan from Wisconsin and I appreciate his service to the team and the game itself. He broke many records which will take MANY years to be broken. But he must ask himself everyday, "Was it all worth it?"

    The end of the interview when they spoke about being tough in the past. That's what's so sad about CTE, the tough guys are the ones who would get hurt really bad in the past because they weren't coming out over a head ding. 4 was a warrior on the gridiron, great interview and thanks for the memories!

    I played youth.. HS and college.. football.. coached for 25 years.. I allowed my 4 sons to play.. now I have my grandson.. I adore him.. I’m now scared
  • Brett is awesome I like how he does work to help the vets from the USS LIBERTY! GO BRETT!
  • wow you can tell he is struggling to find the right words , i love you Favre
  • @showspotter
    I stopped playing after HS except for 1 year in college. Maybe got concussed once but had a ton of dings & head to head hits. Pretty sure its taken a small toll even at 34. Started noticing forgetfulness & dizziness around mid 20's.
  • @replicacity92
    All football players will get CTE, especially the guys from back in the day.. I love football but I’m glad I stopped playing

    Ive had two minor concussions in my life. First I was hit on the back of the head with a wooden toy by some other kid and everything went black for a few seconds. Second time i fell off a woodpile and saw stars. Both of these were a pretty serious matter for me. Its kind of shocking to me that there are people that actually think this ISN'T bad for you. It just seems kind of obvious to me that this will eventually damage you.
  • @marieyazzie6876
    We love you Brett...to me and my family we love to watch you play at the time before your retirement your doing a wonderful job keep it up thank you
  • @Jesuswarnedus
    Most of my dings came in grade school football in 7th and 8th grade. I am 57 and starting to have memory loss in the short term. My mother died last Dec 28th from dementia. God Bless
  • @shawna8134
    There’s no way he doesn’t have CTE!!!!
  • @keith6032
    This is why i play Tennis. No concussions in tennis 😁
  • I love the game of football but I hate to see the sustained injuries
  • He seems to be getting a little lost in where he's trying to go with what he's trying to say.
