Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead! Brett Favre To Retire?

by WCG on Mar 4, 2008 8:50 AM CST in News

I know we have been down this road before, but Packers QB Brett Favre is as much a part of Bears history for the last decade plus, that it is almost Bears news.

FOX Sports is reporting that the mighty gunslinger is set to pack up his spurs and ride off into the sunset.

Favre, the ultimate risk-reward QB, has beaten the Bears so many times he probably has a paddle with our name on it hanging up over his mantle.

At the same time he has handed us the game just as many times with irreverent passing he might as well have a locker at Soldier Field.

I don't know if this is actually going to be the year he tosses in the towel, but it just seems right. He had his run last year, running a group of youngters into the playoffs. I just don't see him getting any better of a send off than last season.

As much as we hate him for what he has done to our team, you are to admire the guy for what he was for the league and what he has accomplished in his career.

no more announcer rhapsodizing...

Granted, the guy was a great player, but I grew tired of the endless apologies and explanations from commentators for his tendency to throw it up there at crucial moments in games. Only Aikman seemed to get it right over the past few years regarding both the good and bad habits of his career.

Sorry about the diary post WCG

I must have been typing the diary post at the same time you were typing the bulletin and the site won't let me delete the diary post for some reason. My bad I guess, but you know as well as I do that if I didn't post this message, somebody like Tyger would be like, why did you post that diary when there is a bulletin from WCG.

I never have a problem

with somebody wanting to put a diary if it isn't on the home page. I'd rather have the news somewhere instead of nowhere.

That's cool

I was just saying sorry for the duplicate post which I don't see anymore, so maybe I was successful in deleting it unless you deleted it for me.

Brett Favre

As far as I was concerned his only sin was that he was playing for the wrong team. When he wasn't playing the Bears I actually really enjoyed watching him play. If this is the end, then best of luck to him with whatever he decides to do next.

all the way to Tampa
