Former NFL QB Brett Favre said he did not miss playing football this past season. "It went a lot smoother than the previous three or four years," Favre said. "At the end of last season, I'd said in years past that I knew. I really knew this time. I got beat up a little bit physically, but I still felt like I could still do it, but I just felt like it was time … Mentally, I was just burned out. This season, being removed and having a bird's eye view but not being involved was eye-opening because I didn't miss it a bit."
