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! 😛
