Kurt Warner has defeated Brett Favre in a race to retire first. Warner is doing everything he can do to improve his resume to make the Hall of Fame, and announcing his retirement before Favre shows to voters that he can make decisions quickly.
"I would like to retire today before Brett Favre retires" said Warner in his press conference. "I am hoping the media focuses on my accomplishments before the Super Bowl and before Favre retires. Those two events will overshadow my incredible underrated achievements."
This is Warner's first official retirement from the NFL, however he did take an indefinite leave of absence early in his career when he was released by the Green Bay Packers. With only one official retirement, Warner is hoping that stat convinces Hall of Fame voters that he is a Hall of Famer. For now, Warner has to wait five years as he makes appearances boosting his accomplishments.

Brett Favre should retire too, for good this time. He has accomplished so much in the NFL. He is the only player to win the AP Most Valuable Player award three times. He holds several NFL records, including most career touchdown passes and most career passing yards, among many others. He is definitely worthy of being in the Hall of Fame, and should call it quits forever.
