I could write a book about this. This really goes back so many years with his talk of retirement - 4+ seasons, long before the media got ahold of it. The average American, the average football fan, has not paid attention to every detail that happened. We gave him sooooo many chances to come back to us.

Sorry, but unless you've followed every single development (if you are a true Packer fan you would have ;) ), you would understand how we who have lived and died for the Packers all our lives feel (just to give one tiny example, we really appreciated his press conference when asked why he joined the Vikings, which I quote: "True Packer fans would understand".) Umm...don't you mean "True Brett Favre fans would understand"? That's just one little quote in a span of many, many that we have heard come out of his mouth. Here is this football GOD in our eyes, saying this statement which is so clearly all about himself. Unthinkable to us, but obviously he's not the human being we thought he was. I can't remember being more let down by anyone in my life.

We have just been shaking our heads. You think you know someone and you believe in his character but all we could say is...Wow.

That all said, I maintain that he is THE best quarterback to ever play the game. And the most fun to watch. It's just such a shame that he couldn't go out like those class acts such as Elway and Marino.
