I wonder what would have happened if Chad had stayed.

Farff (my spelling to my Facker fans),

Geez Brett, retire, save your interception record and please, oh please dear God, don't become a Vikimg. We already have QB's that can throw eloquently and adequately to the wrong jerseys.

Packers Reiterate Offer to Retire Favre's No. 4

Despite an avalanche of acrimony that ultimately led to Brett Favre playing for the New York Jets last season, the Green Bay Packers want to honor Favre by retiring his No. 4 jersey at the "appropriate" time.

But even Favre - who retired from football for the second, and perhaps final, time on Wednesday - isn't sure when the time might be right to heal his still-smoldering rift with the franchise that traded him.

"It's a shame what has unfolded throughout the whole thing," Favre said in a teleconference Wednesday. "But I don't know. I don't know. I don't have an answer for that right now. It may be five years, it may be the first game."

And Favre hinted that the continued presence of the man who traded him, Packers general manager Ted Thompson, might play a role in when he's ready to return to Green Bay.

The Packers put the ugly episode aside on Wednesday, issuing a statement congratulating Favre on his career and reiterating their intention to eventually welcome him back.

"Congratulations to Brett on a remarkable career," the team said. "The Packers organization wishes him and his family well. Brett always will hold a special place in Green Bay Packers history, and we remain committed to retiring his number at an appropriate time in the future."

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy also has said that a multimillion-dollar marketing agreement with Favre could still be on the table when Favre is done playing for good. The deal originally was offered to Favre last summer, while he still seemed to be wavering on his decision to unretire.

Favre reiterated his love for Green Bay teammates and fans on Wednesday but seemed to have trouble hiding his distaste for Thompson.

"My stay in Green Bay was unbelievable, unbelievable," Favre said. "And not one thing could take that away, not one person. And that organization has been outstanding to me throughout my career. It is what it is. It's unfortunate. But at some point, it'll be dealt with."

I'm a fan but have had it with Brett F. and his last four years of maybe yes or maybe no crap.

Grow up and just walk away into retirement and let us fans enjoy other football news during off season this year.

I for one do not think it was worth it to bring in Brett for one year and let the better quarterback leave.

Now they need to start the new process of drafting or getting another retread to run the team for 2009.

All this talk of him being great move for new park and he won't even be on the team for opening.
