Where do we send your locker?
If I am a Viking poster, then I assume I have a cabin somewhere near Upper Red Lake.Quote:

Maybe they are retiring all of Brett's jerseys except the Vikes one.
Now you have peaked my curiosity. We received our tickets in the mail on Wednesday but I haven't opened the package yet.Quote:

I think the only thing that can be confirmed is that the guy is an ass. Though something doesn't smell quite right.Quote:

But really, who the hell thought "oh, yeah, GREEN Bay Packers....that calls for blue jerseys!"
Or was that when they were the Acme Packers?
yes, it's intended to mimic the jersey from the Acme Packers days, 1929 championship team to be exact.Quote:

The Lambeau Packers wore blue jerseys (mostly) in tribute to Notre Dame's colors where Curly went to college (briefly).
Acme only sponsored the Packers for 1920 season.
That picture inspires an old trivia question.
Who is the only man to be enshrined in the Baseball and NFL Hall of Fame?
Dilweg played a long time.
Nope.Quote:

Good move. When you buy your ticket it has "No Booing" as an expectation to your continued use of the ticket.

Brett Favre subject of Monday announcement
Posted by packers.com on August 3, 2014 – 7:07 pm
The Packers and Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. issued a media advisory at 7 p.m. on Sunday, relating to a joint announcement regarding former Packers quarterback Brett Favre: “The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. and the Green Bay Packers will make a joint announcement regarding former quarterback Brett Favre Monday, Aug. 4, at 1:30 p.m., in the new Hall of Fame under construction in the Lambeau Field Atrium.”
Packers.com will staff the event and provide a bulletin story when the announcement is made, followed later by a complete version of the press conference’s events. The event will also be streamed live on Packers.com.
Good deal. I think it's good timing for the whole thing. It's been long enough so most of the bitter feelings out there have subsided quite a bit. Should be a great day.
Brett's statement today on the upcoming announcement:

Brett Favre confirms Packers Hall induction, jersey retirement
By Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel Aug. 4, 2014 7:46 a.m.
Green Bay --- The Packers and Brett Favre will soon be together. As reported last night, he'll be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in 2015 and also have his jersey number retired.
The quarterback confirmed this much on his website with the following note...
I'm pleased to announce that I will be returning to Green Bay, Wisconsin in 2015 for induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and retirement of my jersey.
It was a tremendous honor to play 16 years for the Green Bay Packers. Now to have my name placed among others such as Starr, Hornung, Kramer, Taylor, Lambeau, Nitschke, Lombardi, Davis, White and Hutson is a special honor that I share with all of my teammates and coaches, and that would not have been possible but for the foresight of Ron Wolf, the greatest GM In the history of the NFL.
I'm truly looking forward to celebrating and sharing this special moment with all of the great fans of the Green Bay Packers.
Go Packers!
Brett
From ESPN
NFL network was saying last night that the Packers hand is being forced by the fact that he should be in the Packers HOF before being inducted into the NFLs. :huh:Quote:
The announcement will be that Favre will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in the summer of 2015 and the uniform No. 4 that he wore for the Packers from 1992-2008 will be retired, according to a statement on Favre's website. It was not immediately clear when exactly the number retirement ceremony will take place.
Sure, I guess.
