It appears the reports that surfaced on the Packer’s web site last week were true. FOX Sports is reporting that Brett Favre has retired and will not play in 2008.
Favre is the NFL’s all-time leader in several major categories, including touchdowns, passing yards, consecutive games started, and interceptions. Favre is coming off an MVP-type year where he threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns.
The reaction in the coffee shop where I am currently writing this seems to be unified – without Favre, why watch the Packers?
While the Packers are a good young team, I have to admit I initially agree.
