Ah, but it will, at least in my Packer fan eyes. I could have forgiven him, I did forgive him for all the bonehead plays that had me chewing through saftey belts and tearing phone books in half. I still adored him. I got over the trade demands and actually rooted for him as a Jet, despite my initial ill feelings.
But when he went to our arch rival, that defined him for me. And this after what IMO were huge gestures of respect by the Packers front office: Sending him his locker as a retirement present, offering him a 20 million PR contract and scheduling his number retirement in absolute record time (the first home game after retirement?!!?).
I hope this Packer regime does not retire his number. In fact, I hope I don't live to actually see it in my lifetime. Even legends should be put in their place. Let Murphy's successor shake his hand on the 50 yard line someday. By that time, there should be less boobirds in the crowd.
But, I'm not bitter.
Technically the #4 has already been retired. There was no ceremony, no fanfare, no addition to the Ring of Honor. But nobody will wear the #4 in a Green Bay uniform ever again.

Good stuff, Tar.
Many months ago I posted that the first unretirement of Favre and his trade to the Jets was--to me--like reading a great, great novel that had you laughing and crying and cheering and totally involved as you turned every page and then you got to the last chapter and realized that the author had totally screwed up the ending. Totally.

What does grnbay007 think of these lying broads coming out with this crap against the great Bert? Bert is the lady's hero not an abusive womanizer. Duh. You can't prove any of this. Can't prove teh Packers were telling the truth. Can't prove these lying women are telling the truth. Can't prove anything against good ol' Bert, even when common sense tells the whole story. Pfft. . . .Child please

LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Read it and weep, Gex. Pack playing for the Super Bowl!

After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

Why Peter, you are my greatest achievement!
