Moss signs with pats = Favre retirement? He really wanted another playmaker...

It was apparently confirmed by his agent. No news on a press conference yet, but hopefully he will do one. Unfortunately his last pass will be an interception, but that should be the least he'll be remembered for.

Sad day in Cheesehead land.

I thought he would've given it one more year based on how good his last season was.

It will be strange not hearing Favres name on Sundays anymore.

But his last season was a good one.

The federal government better put a suicide watch on all the residents of Wisconsin.

as a packer fan i am torn. i love watching him and when he is in the game anything can happen and it makes every game an exciting one. on the other hand i am excited to see what this young team can do with a younger growing QB. they can only get better and i think they have the possibility to be a very very good team as they grow and get more experience. Favre is a class act and the game will be a little less exciting without him.

Except for not winning a championship, it was one of his best ever. Retiring now is surprising, given how well he and his team did last year, and how wide open the NFC is.

Well he wanted a play maker like Moss. But they did not sign him or anybody else to help Farve. So if he did come back i dobt they would do as well. He knew it and went out with a great winning season.

Some one wake up Aaron Rogers and tell him to bone up on the play book.

that is very true. but i think he would rather go out having a season like that then have the chance of a really crappy one next year. we had a lot of close games go our way last year and it may not happen agian next season.

yeah i was thinking he would give it one more year.

but maybe its a ploy! the bears did just cut griece and really need a good QB! maybe they are bringing in Farve to help Grosseman!!!

i am excited to see what he can do. he had a heck of a teacher for the last few years to get him ready for the starting job. hopefully he can lead a solid offense this coming season.

 

[CptCrunch]

Well good for him, he's had a hell of a run

I guarantee that Wisconsin newspapers & TV stations will now do stories on depression, suicide & how to spot & deal with it. I remember they did it back when the Packers lost to Denver in the superbowl.

Well, now we find out if Aaron Rodgers is for real or not.

 

[jjones]

He had a great year, last year. Always good to go out on an up note.
