I'm kind of getting away from the whole idea of retiring numbers anyway. It's rather special to have a number develope a history of players associated with it down through the ages.

Get over it... everyone else will at the retirement dinner. Favre’s personal accomplishments are part of Packer history as much as ‘every’ players personal accomplishments are … good grief.

Yes, everybody will tout his personal achievements (emphasis on PERSONAL) and some will say he will retire as a Packer, but if anyone has done their homework of Packer history, especially that of the Lombardi era, one can not help but notice the glaring difference of subordination of self for the sake of team accomplishment vs. the elevation of one's self aggrandizement as manifested by Brett Favre. Favre is no longer a Packer and may his number in Green Bay never be retired because not about team or loyalty but rather about FAVRE and the promulgation of his name in the annals of the NFL history books. However, when all is said and done, he is the toilet wipe of renown Packer history. This Packer fan does have more class than Favre.

Packer fans who still support Favre in a purple & white uni just don't get it!! It appears that team pride/loyalty has gone to the wayside in this so called post-modern era which has had a profound impact on today's NFL, i.e., personality trumps team loyalty/history. Favre is an example of this era: exemplifying the selfish opportunist out to pad his own stats and persona ( ever read any of his books? Its all FAVRE!) @asshalo – AMEN!!

I guess I can see it while he is a Viking, but in the end, Favre will return to GB to retire his number, be added to the wall of fame, enter the halls of fame (GB and Canton), take Packer money at his steak house, drive down Favre Pass, make millions for football, etc., And we will be reminded forever of all his NFL league records, MVP trophies, division playoffs, Superbowls, personal comeback stories, and "I'm not washed up" victories, etc., So the joke will never be on Favre no matter how you slice it. Let him play and celebrate the past 16 years- he and GB will forever be tied together, no way around it...there's nothing to gain from bashing him... or booing him - Packer fans have more class than that?!? * * (Hey, it wasn't me who brought up Favre this time) * ;>) Folks been telling me you shouldn’t mention the ‘you know who’ QB on this blog … but I find that “you know who” still pops up quite a bit… but if his name pops up in a negative way it gets a pass… I guess I can see it while he is a Viking, but in the end, Favre will return to GB to retire his number, be added to the wall of fame, enter the halls of fame (GB and Canton), take Packer money at his steak house, drive down Favre Pass, make millions for football, etc., And we will be reminded forever of all his NFL league records, MVP trophies, division playoffs, Superbowls, personal comeback stories, and “I’m not washed up” victories, etc., So the joke will never be on Favre no matter how you slice it.

He was in fact thrilled to beat his old team. Don't need a Vikes fan (and Favre Fan 4 Vikings Now - a BF operative likely - is exactly that) to involve himself in Packer business. Things will work out as they will without any input from Vikings fans. Favre CHOSE to be a Viking and fans feelings, his history with GB, were definitely not his priorities.

But if you cheer for the Vikings you are not a Packer fan by definition. It really is that simple.

But I have no problem waiting until the end of the season... yet I have no 'reason' to believe anything is going to change by then either (e.g. I have some optimism but we just lost to a 0-7 team...)-- call back after Dallas, Pitts and Ravens.

This isn't Kevin Bacon in Animal House YET. McCrappy going? Perhaps, but we don't need to go back to the drawing board and fire 'em both after a 4-4 start. If we go 6-10 again, TT opens up to using free agency/trades more, and hires a guy like Gruden for 2010, we can turn it around. Throwing out everyone's far too much of a kneejerk reaction that'd set the franchise back 2 years or so. I’m not happy either, but we’re 4-4. This isn’t Kevin Bacon in Animal House YET.
