I was there! Big wins were few and far between back then so it was a real treat to win that one!Quote:

The play call ... " 72 X Shallow Cross "
" An enlarged scoreboard reads, 17-14 Falcons, third and 1 at the 9-yard line, 15 seconds left. Defensive end Chuck Smith is helpless, turned over like a dying fish. Favre is airborne, diving across the goal line for the victory. " **
** His 1994 dive into the end zone at County Stadium — the final Packers game in Milwaukee.
" After 20 years of highs, lows, emotional skydives, Brett Favre's world has slowed down. Pro football's ironman has found peace, his way.
When that pilgrimage to Lambeau Field closes in, Favre knows it'll feel real. Next year, No. 4 will be retired. Closing this chapter — in a good way, he punctuates — "needed to be done."..."
GO PACK GO !
He returns.
Brett is back in GB today for an event at Bart Starr's Rawhide Ranch.
He'll speak briefly at the steakhouse and at Rawhide Ranch.
BLF has no plans to attend the Packer Falcon's game.
I suppose he doesn't want to take from the teams by being a distraction.
It would be a natural time to make an announcement of some kind of peace treaty, Packers, Falcon's, Bart Starr, etc, etc.
Bart is too ill to attend, but is supposedly recovering from his stroke.
Bart Starr's Rawhide Ranch?
Sounds like a BDSM store.
Voice of experience speaking?Quote:

Sure they will find out and show him on TV. But who cares if he doesn't fly in the same day and say he wants to suit up and play or something.Quote:

There's just no way to do this quietly and without it turning into a circus and someone asking him why he decided to finally come back. It's been too long and the reunion is going to be an event.Quote:

I see Brett Favre more than ever it seems.
He's doing lots of commercials lately.
Mae saw him doing something for WALMART.
Plugging some sporting shoes for a Nike subsidiary, I believe.
Favre is all over the product where a man can trim his own hair too. I've seen an extended ad for it at least 3-4 times in the last few weeks.
Favre wouldn't come to the game tonight so as not to risk any scene.
Some people really are confused by this man but it sure seems to me he's got things right as it stands today.
Where's Mad ?
Is Madtownpacker OK?
Mad there were 30 people here (after the game and) tonight for the Atlanta @ Green Bay game.
GO PACK GO !
