Matt Lauer sat down with Brett Favre in an exclusive interview to air Monday, November 18 on NBC's TODAY. The legendary quarterback and future hall-of-famer spoke to Lauer in an in-depth discussion about concussions, his future, and the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal. Get a sneak peek below!

While discussing concussions, Favre, who doesn't have a son, said if he did he "would be reAl Leery of him playing" football.

In October, Favre said that at age 44 he's facing "scary" memory issues linked to on-field concussions. "I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll," the ex-Green Bay Packer revealed to a Washington, D.C. radio station last month.

"I try to...offset the aging process, as we all are, by diet or running or biking, whatever,'' Favre told Lauer. "But as we get older, I mean, it happens to all of us. You know, 'Where's my glasses?' 

He continued, "I think to me the wakeup call was (wife) Deanna and I were talking recently, and she was talking about Breleigh, our youngest, playing soccer. I've pretty much made every game that she's ever played (in) basketball, volleyball. She played softball one year, she played basketball a couple years. As I find out, she played soccer. I don't remember her playing soccer. She played right over here, and that was probably where my first inclination that something ain't right."
