So Brett Favre has retired. Non Packer fans are probably not so affected. But for those of us (37 years and counting) lifelong Packer fans, the last 17 years have been a lot... a lot of fun.... a lot of heartache at times... a lot of ups and downs.... but mostly a lot of fun.
Brett Favre loves the game of football. And watching him play is amazing. There is a generation that has never known the Packers any other way than the Brett Favre way! My two dear children have watched him, and only him, lead our faithful Packers through the last 17 years.
We all need to thank Brett. While being human (addiction, some wild times when younger, going through the devastation of Katrina and his wife's cancer), he has brought a great role model to so many kids. He's returned a love for the game to many. He's brought the Packers back to a great place.
But we are all also looking forward to the new year ahead. Congratulations to Brett, and good luck to a very young team in the Packers.
