[Answer] The Quarterback Brett Favre struggled with emotions during one interview at the Green Bay Packers. What reason had the press been gathered to hear about?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Quarterback Brett Favre struggled with emotions during one interview at the Green Bay Packers. What reason had the press been gathered to hear about?"

...Brett had gathered the press together in March 2008, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, to announce his retirement from the NFL. After such a successful career being upset is understandable, though these tears later on came to be seen as crocodile tears -- it emerged that Brett had been in contact with the New York Jets regarding playing for them. He went on to play for New York Jets in the 2008 season again towards the end wanting to retire. He was retired by the Jets and then went on to play for the Minnesota Vikings between 2009 and 2010 announcing that it would be his final season. Third time lucky was the charm for Brett Farve as he officially filed his retirement papers with the NFL in January 2011.
