Packers president on Favre’s #4

May 12, 2011 By

The Green Bay Packers tailgate tour left Ashland and is headed for Eau Claire

Mark Murphy

today.  In Ashland yesterday, team president Mark Murphy was asked about the eventual retirement of Brett Favre’s #4.

Murphy said, “Eventually, he’ll come back into the fold.  We are going to retire his number.  He deserves that for what he did as a Packer.”  Murphy added, “There are very few players in our history that had their number retired.  He deserves it though.  But it’s a very, very meaningful honor and we want to do it at a time when it’s meaningful for both him and the organization.”

Murphy said it’ll probably be a few years.  They want to make sure that he’s really retired first. 

The Packers made that mistake when he first retired after the 2007 season.  They were going to retire his number and have a big ceremony at the opening game that next season against the Minnesota Vikings.  Favre went on to play that next season for the New York Jets instead.

Metrodome roof collapses

December 12, 2010 By

According to reports out of the Twin Cities, the Metrodome roof has collapsed because of heavy snow.  The NFL game between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings had already been moved to Monday night, but the stadium may not be ready by the 7pm kickoff.

When and where the game will eventually be played is still in question, but it’s giving Brett Favre more time to recover from his shoulder injury, giving him a better chance to play when the game is played.

Favre retiring? Who knows! (AUDIO)

August 3, 2010 By

According to various reports, Brett Favre has informed Minnesota Vikings

Brett Favre's 1st retirement

personnel that he has decided to retire.  Head coach Brad Childress said he hasn’t heard a thing and won’t believe it until he hears from Favre himself.

The Vikings are still holding out hope that the news isn’t true, or is at least reversible.  There’s always a chance that the Vikings, who were set to pay Favre $13-million this season, could increase their offer.  It’s an uncapped year, which means the Vikings could go fairly high for Favre’s services for one more season.
