Brett Favre is retiring. Well, what can one really say? I've been a Packer fan my whole life, at times I have to admit, I was a fairweather fan, but I always loved Brett Favre. As a Wisconsin native I can honestly say that Favre is one of the most beloved figures in the state. It's hard to explain to non-Wisconsinites just what Favre and the Packers mean to us. Favre had an illustrious career and he enjoyed a sort of rennaisance in his final season. Although the Packers fell short of the Super Bowl, one can definately say that Favre retired at the top of his game.
I think Aaron Rogers is ready to take the reins. He was extremely impressive when he took over for an injured Favre in the Dallas game. That being said, Favre was an enormous presence on the field and in the locker room and he will be sorely missed.
Thanks for all the memories Brett.
