I say good for him. Get your records and then hang 'em up.

Leave 'em wanting more.

It's all over the news now....

A male co-worker with season home tickets is distraught. Near the panic stage.

When our GM interupted this morning's meeting with the news, Mr. Packer fan tanning bed junkie turned ghost white in front of our eyes.

For many of us fans it's sad news. For this guy, it's the end of the world.

Good for him!

Nothing left to prove, and he left it all out on the field with no regrets.

Someone that plays because they love the game is very hard to find.

Now I no longer have to feel torn, cheering for the pack. (I didn't say THAT?) He did a great job, playing with so much fun and enjoyment, which is why I enjoyed pulling for him this year.

Now I shall return to my normal sanity (?) . Go Bears!

That's the thing, Jim - There were a couple of games toward the end of last season where he looked like he truly wasn't having fun anymore. Especially the windy, cold one at Soldier Field.

The word on Boston sports radio (dont know if its true) is that Favre met with Randy Moss recently and when hearing that he was staying with the Pats, Brett decided to give it up.

:-/ I couldn't believe it when I heard this yesterday. One of my heros......... Glad I got to see almost every game he played.

Hearing that Jonny doesn't really surprise me. Farve was very mad last year that the Packers didn't do enough to recruit Moss and let it be known. I wondered when I heard Moss went to the Pats what Brett was thinking. Now I know.

You guys talking about the 18 and no Pats? They had a good season but we all know who's wearing the champion rings.

Favre didn't look like he enjoyed the cold games against the Bears and Giants. Didn't look like his heart was in it. Reminded me of trout fishing in the Sierra - I always anxious to go but once I'm standing in the cold at 5 in the morning, I wonder what the heck I'm doing there!

Bravo to Favre for a great career. I'll miss him.

Peter Tom Willis 1992-1993
Will Furrer 1992
Erik Kramer 1994-1998
Steve Walsh 1994
Dave Krieg 1996
Rick Mirer 1997
Steve Stenstrom 1998
Moses Moreno 1998
Shane Matthews 1999-2001
Cade McNown 1999-2000
Jim Miller 1999-2002
Chris Chandler 2002
Kordell Stewart 2003
Jonathan Quinn 2004
Craig Krenzel 2004
Chad Hutchinson 2004
Kyle Orton 2005, 2007
Rex Grossman 2003-2007
Brian Griese 2007

I got a chuckle out of Bradshaw's butt in "Failure to Launch".

I always remember when I was a kid and my dad & his buddies (the Schlitz bunch) would rattle the windows cheering the Pack. Starr, Horning, Nitchky kicking the Cowboys around.

Always have been and always will be a Packer fan. Nothing better than watching them play while munching a Usingers salami!
