OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

It'll be put in a nice frame.

As a fan I'd prefer to be at Lambeau Field and see Brett Favre's number '4' retired formally.

In my world that's such a great honor that Brett Favre certainly deserves. That's for Favre and respecting Packer fans.

It will be at the stadium, just as it was for White.

An inlaw got to meet Clay Matthews this year and gave me a signed jersey for Christmas. I'm building a glass covered case/frame for it. Cherry wood or Oak, that is the question.

Receiving such a gift would absolutely thrill me.

Favre stuck it to Packer fans maneuvering into the Vikings spot, but god love 'em, he gave so many years of great exciting football, I will love the guy forever. If the Vikes had won a SB, maybe I would not be so generous, but now, that's all water under the bridge and all I can see are those great TD passes the 36 yard run for a TD versus Chicago in the rain in '94, "He dives into the end zone at County Stadium (I was there!). Yeeha, Go Bert!

"Betcha can't guess what type of wood this is."

"It's oak."

"Nope. It's oak."

Great line. Great Episode.

Go through the doors and you'll see a man with a can of furniture polish in his hand.

He'll take me to Colonel Blake?

That is Colonel Blake.


MASH is on Netflix now and I have been watching Season 1. Hysterically good with a number of my favorite episodes. And that was a year their ratings were low.

Well, as far as that goes, his number has been retired since they announced that White's would be and Harlan declared Favre's would be, too. The only significant thing yet to do for that is the unveiling in the stadium. I don't see the Packer HOF ceremony as adding much to the number retirement storyline.

Here's the official dope on all that:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...etired_numbers

List of Green Bay Packers retired numbers:

Packers Retired Number 3 - Tony Canadeo - HB, 1941-44, 1946-52 - Retired 1952



Packers retired number 14 - Don Hutson - WR/DB, 1935-45 - Retired 1951



Packers Retired number 15 - Bart Starr - QB, 1956-71 - Retired 1973



Packers Retired Number 66 - Ray Nitschke - LB, 1958-72 - Retired 1983



Packers Retired Number 92 - Reggie White - DE, 1993–98 - Retired 2005





" When Brett Favre retired from the Packers, the organization planned to retire the #4 in his honor. When he returned to football, this was put off. On August 3, 2014, the Packers organization announced the retirement of the No. 4 jersey and the induction of Favre into the Packers Hall of Fame in July 2015."

Last game at the County, right?

[Joemailman]

Last game at the County, right?

Yep. I was there in what would be the upper deck right field seats. Needed that game to stay alive in the playoff race. One of Brett's greatest heart attack moments.

[mraynrand]

Last game at the County, right?

Yep. Totally awesome. After years of misery including "Bounce pass" Zorn and washed up Mike Balzac at QB, Favre was tremendously refreshing and fantastic. Will always appreciate his great and inspired play for the Pack. That's what you celebrate at the HOF inductions. All that other crap is water under the bridge (his personal stuff is for him to work out).

So - still in atrium but fans can join in Lambeau and maybe Favre addresses the crowd. And it's $4 and goes to charity.

Interesting.
