What Favre had to say

It was obviously a disappointing end to what had been a fabulous season for Packers quarterback Brett Favre. His interception in overtime for all intents and purposes cost the Packers the game and sent the Giants to the Super Bowl.

"It's very disappointing," Favre said. "We had numerous opportunities today, numerous opportunities this year. Everything seemed to fall in line for us. I give the Giants a lot of credit. They played great, not only today but the latter part of the year.

"I'm proud of this team. Happy we got to this point, gave ourselves a shot. I'm disappointed that the last pass I threw was intercepted and gave them a chance to win."

And, like in previous years, Favre had to answer questions regarding retirement. It's hard to believe that Favre's last pass in the NFL could be an interception that led to his team's elimination from the playoffs.

"I don't know," he said. "Had we won this game and gone to the Super Bowl and whatever happens in that game when it was over, I was going to go home and think about where I wanted to go from there. I don't think that's going to really change because we didn't make it. It's been a great year. I'm very disappointed. I'm not going to rush to any quick decisions. It will probably be quicker than it has been in the past. I'm not going to let this game sway my decision one way or the other."
