From the New York Daily News:
Long hailed for his status as the NFL's iron man, Brett Favre, the former quarterback and holder of the league's record for starting in 321 consecutive games (including playoffs), acknowledges encountering memory losses related to concussions as a player. He expressed uncertainty regarding what ailments he may face related to the hard hits he absorbed over his 20 seasons in the league.
“God only knows the toll,” Favre said on Sports Talk 570 in Washington.
Favre, who reportedly was offered a chance to sign with the St. Louis Rams earlier in the week, discussed the experience of not being able to remember his daughter playing youth soccer games one summer. The inability to remember unsettled Favre, now a 44-year-old grandfather serving as an assistant high school football coach. He is nearly three years removed from his final game as a player.
“For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me,” he said.

Just think, the St. Louis Rams contacted Favre this week to play football for them but they were not able to reach an agreement.
Best wishes to Favre, the all time best quarterback ever, and hope he gets therapy to help him in this situation.
