I see where the Packer brass had announced they are going to retire Brett Favre's #4 jersey during the season opener at Lambeau Field against the Vikings on September 8.
The initial report at the time of the Favre retirement announcement was that they were not sure when they would officially retire the number. Makes one wonder if the Packer brain trust of Murphy, Thompson, and McCarthy got together and decided if they got the ceremony over with right away then it would be harder for Favre to come back. This way, Thompson could get on with his "Jerry Krause" plan. (For those of you who don't know Krause, he was the "genius" who thought the Chicago Bulls could actually be something resembing a proffessional basketball team without the servics of Jordan, and we all see how that worked out. I hope this does not cause Mr. Favre to wear another teams colors. The Packers stood a better chance of going to the Super Bowl in '08 with Favre then they do with Rogers.
Don't get me wrong, I like Aaron Rogers and hope he steps right into Mr. Favre's giagantic spikes. But I am willing to bet the kid doesn't last 4 games before he misses a couple with some sort of bobo. Then who is going to be quarterback? (The answer will be some other rookie that Thompson picks in the 4th or 5th round this year that none of us has ever heard of.)
