In his first comments regarding his request to be released from the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Brett Favre tells Greta Van Susteren that he no longer felt welcome in Wisconsin. “I am guilty of retiring early and there is a reason for that,” Favre said in an excerpt of an interview that was given to the Associated Press. “And the major issue is ‘Why did he retire?,’ and ‘He asked for a release because he doesn’t want to play in Green Bay.’ That’s not true. And I hope people are hearing this and saying ‘OK, that clears it up.’”
