Green Bay Packers quarterback
Brett Favre will be back on the cover of Sports Illustrated with a commemorative special edition that hits the newsstands and book stores Monday.
The 84-page tribute will honor Favre following his retirement and tearful goodbye this week -- "I know I can play. But I don't think I want to," he said after 17 seasons in the
NFL.
It will be the third time since December the magazine has featured the beloved quarterback.
Favre joked Thursday about the attention his accomplishments and retirement have received: "As I'm watching TV last night, I said, 'This is what it's like when you die."'
