Number 4 Says Goodbye


I am speechless and emotional as one of my favorite athletes of all time decided to hang it up for good.

Well number 4, it has been a helluva ride ever since that 1992 comeback win against the Bengals. You single handily turned the storied Packer franchise around from the laughingstock it had dwindled to in the 1980s and created a whole generation of avid Cheeseheads nationwide.

For all those Favre haters out there who care less about the Packers and have constantly complained about his retirement plans or interceptions, eat a fat dick. Are you happy now?

Marino, Elway or Montana were never treated this way at the end of their careers. I hope Brady and Peyton are able to go out on their own terms as well without the abuse by opponents' fans.

Favre can take some redemption from the doubters out of the improbable 2007 Packers' successful season.

Number 4 leaves the game with his fastball, his pride and every meaningful NFL passing record.

In August 2013, I will be sure to think about the haters when I am sporting my Favre jersey in Canton, Ohio.

This sounds weird but watching number 4 on fall Sundays has been the one constant in my life for 16 years and I just have two words: thank you.

Rumors are that Brett was upset because the Pack declined to go after Randy Moss either of the last two years.

I think it's funny that Moss still continues to screw with packer fans even though he's not even in the same conference anymore... (This from an admitted Vikings homer...)

Nobody saw this coming, everyone expected Favre would give it one last go with a great team around him. Hell, I expected he had 2 or 3 more years in him.

BTW, everyone said Elway famously would rush into the locker room at halftime so he could smoke, and it always ticked off Dan Reeves. Who knew that was true:
