Brett Favre Retires
Posted by Ross - a.k.a. The Fat Man under: Uncategorized .
I haven’t talked with Wes yet, but I am sure we will be doing a special Brett Favre show in the next couple of weeks. Let us know your favorite (or least favorite) Brett Favre moment for the tribute show.
I haven’t decided how I feel about this yet. We were just talking about our draft needs this weekend and now things are definitely a bit different. This will make the team very different.

Wow, I’m still in disbelief about Favre, such a down day with the news. On a lighter side of thing here’s a clip that I’m sure you guys have seen but it’s pretty priceless.

Great! I hope Patrick Castleburg is going to do his Sergio Leone on Brett’s retirement.

John, I have been thinking of what to do and say in regards to Favre’s retirement from a “Good, Bad, Ugly perspective…I will be trying to put something together with the guys.
This truly is the end of an era in GB, Almost all ties to the Packer revival from doormat of the NFL are now gone…
Harlan, Wolf, Holmgren, Favre, White and numerous other members of the teams.
Really Favre was the last piece of the SB Winning team to step aside…
We now have a new Head guy in Murphy, New GM in TT, New Coach MM, Youngest team in the NFL now featuring a new QB in Rodgers….
Whatever else you want to say it is a sad day but at the same time a very exciting and interesting time to be a Packers fan.

Patrick, I can understand your feelings because I went through something like it when Bart Starr retired. Also when Vince Lombardi left the Packers, and for a while there I thought there might be thirty years before the Packers won another Super Bowl (Wait a minute, that happened!) I also know that for fifteen years no one has ever thought of someone else as the Green Bay quarterback, which I can assure you is quite unique.
But I sense something different this time, and the players do too. My take on this was that Brett was being a team player, realizing that it would have to be all or nothing, and not finding that drive inside him anymore. I thought it was one of the classiest retirement decisions I’ve ever seen, done on his terms and not forced or fudged like some other high-profile quarterbacks have done in the past. I expect him to stay retired as a player, but also expect him to confound the experts who say he won’t even consider coaching. I think he has in him the makings of being one of the best quarterback coaches ever in the NFL.
