OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[get louder at lambeau]

Oh Brett, you just died in my arms tonight
It must've been something you said
Brett just died in my arms tonight

Oh Brett, you just died in my arms tonight
It must been some kind of kiss
you should`ve walked away, you should've walked away

Wow, busting out the Cutting Crew. Nice.

I chuckled at the lead sentence in one paragraph of the article at nfl.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...=breaking_news:

He also retired in 2008 with the Packers and 2009 with the Jets, .....

"I know it's time, and that's OK. It is," Favre said after the defeat.

Ya think?

It's indicative of how badly Favre handled things that his actual retirement is either a punch line, ignored, or draws feelings of "good riddance". I suppose there will be some talk about what a great player he once was, but not much.

Don't wake me up [Bert] before you go go!

Going out with a whimper.

This would have caused a 3 day ESPN Favreapalooza before he ruined his legacy.

Based on performance I would say a year too late but either way this is good news. Hopefully this forum can get back to what it was before all that shit. Hopefully posters can get back to being united as Packers fans. Hopefully BOTH sides can let it go and move forward.

This coming weekend couldn't have come at a better time. SB trip is sure to cure all ills.

Former Favre teammate and current NFP columnist Matt Bowen wrote an article today:

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/A-quiet-exit-for-Favre.html

In conclusion, he stated:

As a fan—and former teammate—of Favre, I couldn’t stand watching him break down this season. It was painful. I wanted to see him win and have success—because every player wants that at the end. However, this entire journey that Favre took since he left the Packers has been odd in a sense. And I am just glad that is over from the perspective of someone who studies the league and as an overall fan. It went too far.
Time for all of us to move on from Favre. What he did on the football field was magical—but this is a bit overdue.
