A Sad Day in Titletown

from Packers.com

STATEMENT FROM PACKERS GENERAL MANAGER TED THOMPSON:

Brett Favre
has informed us of his intention to retire from the Green Bay Packers and the
NFL. He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National
Football League, and he is able to walk away from the game on his own terms -
not many players are able to do that.

The Packers owe him a tremendous
debt of gratitude. He has given Packers fans 16 years of wonderful memories, a
Super Bowl championship among them, that will live on forever. Brett's many
accomplishments on the field are legendary. He leaves the game holding virtually
every career passing record, plus his consecutive starts streak, which may never
be duplicated.

The uniqueness of Brett Favre - his personality, charisma
and love of the game - undoubtedly will leave him as one of the enduring figures
in NFL history.

A moment of silence, please!
