RandBall Q&A: Ryan Longwell on Packers/Vikings and Brett Favre

By Michael Rand NOVEMBER 20, 2015 — 11:10AM

RB asks many questions in this Interview )please click the LINK for the rest) but there was this one:

RB: " The Packers are unveiling Favre’s retired number on Thanksgiving at Lambeau. What do you think that moment will be like after all that happened?

RL: I think it will be great. I really do. I was with Brett this summer when they put him in the Packers Hall of Fame. The ovation he got at Lambeau and the fact that 70,000 people showed up for him to speak and stayed there until 10:30 when his speech was over, I think time heals all. The fans appreciate everything he did for that organization and what he did over his career. I think it will be a great day and great event. Brett deserves it. He really does. He can breathe life into an organization, which is exactly what he did in Green Bay, which was down in the dumps. I’d argue he did the same thing for the Vikings in 2009, giving fans a reason to cheer. He’s infectious that way, and I think it will be a great day. ..."

Comment woodbuck27:

Ryan Longwell is an articulate Guy.

Ryan Longwell certainly was excellent as our Kicker for so long. He was generally $Money$. I'm very happy for him that he's becoming one of the 2018 Class of Packer Hall Of Famers along with another Packer Great OLman RT Mark Tauscher an a key member of IMO one of the very best Offensive Lines I've enjoyed perform in my 6 Decades as a Packer fan.

Ryan Longwell and Packers HOFER.This is a certain well deserved honor.

CONGRATULATIONS Ryan Longwell. You were a beauty in the Green and Gold.
