After 17 Seasons, Brett Favre is calling it quits. After a great season last year, there were few who thought that Favre would hang up his cleets for good. There was speculation that Favre was hoping the Packers were going to go after WR Randy Moss this offseason (like last offseason) and once Moss signed with the Pats he called and told the coach he was retiring. Favre did say that the decision to not pursue Moss had nothing to do with his decision to retire.
The Packers now hand the reins to former 1st round selection Aaron Rodgers. In limited playing time in his 3 years with the team, Rodgers has done fairly well, including last year in Dallas when Favre got hurt in the opening quarter and Rodgers came in and almost guided the team to a victory.

A sad day for Packers fans. I really thought he’d stick it out.
It is a splendid day, however, when the Leopard returns to action.

Amazingly, you haven’t updated your blog in over a year, yet your post is extraordinarily timely! How odd.
