Zero actually i see what your saying about Mike but i figured he would be gone before Ted Thompson (HC's go before a gm) But so what if its same year? They wanted it done the opening game to try and shut him out you can't be that blind 😛 Retiring a number in OCT is totally different.

Specially retiring a guys number when most people knew he was going to come back.

I know what you're saying, I just disagree with it. After seeing how quickly they retired Whites number, I have to disagree. I'm not saying they didn't want Brett to stay retired, I think they did because (in part) of all the flip flopping. You need stability within a franchise. Brett's on/off was not stable.

I think a lot of it was to get it out of the way so to speak because of all the media hype that circled the retirement. I know you're not remembering how much of a distraction the whole Brett will he or won't he saga, not to mention the Greta interview. You seem to forget there was a football team that needed to focus on the season, not Brett Favre.

I have faith ... some day ... you will see the big picture Dave-san! 😛

Reggie White's number was retired quickly because he died.

lol, then why not do it the first preseason game OR better yet, do it at the begining of training camp! That would surely have kept him from coming back! Now if i can just figure out where i put that time travel machine....

Edit: I spell gud

You want to finish your career here?
Favre: "Definitely. If in two years, say, they want to trade me, I'd probably walk away. Retire."

I'm sticking to the common logic that the Packers chose game one because it was against a rival, national TV and it got the distraction out of the way right away. Plus, they retired Whites jersey pretty quick too.

We retired his "jersey" in '99, because the NFL frowns on retiring numbers. After Reggie died, they softened their stance and the Packers retired Reggie's number.

well last time i checked the season dont start in Oct. so how can you say they werent rushing to retire bretts number to try and keep him from playing. They wanted to retire Brett's number opening night. Now it won't be retired till the Ted Thompson administration is gone.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
