Packers Will Retire No. 4 Once They're Sure Favre Is Really Retired

Posted on May 13, 2011

Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy said the team will eventually retire Brett Favre's No. 4, but they want to make sure he's really retired.

Murphy said it will likely be a few years. He said when Favre retired after the 2007 season they planned a ceremony at the opening game against the Vikings but then Favre went to play for the Jets.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported that Murphy made the comments about Favre in Ashland Thursday during the Tailgate Tour.

Murphy said Favre deserves the honor for what he did as a Packer. He said they want to do it at a time when it's meaningful for Favre and the organization.

Earlier this week Favre said he has no intention of coming out of retirement.

Famed 'Favre barn' becomes 'Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood'

Posted on February 9, 2011

In Wisconsin, the barns they are a-changin'.

For years, the famed "Favre barn" on Highway 10/45 in Winnebago County has honored former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre(notes), even after he was traded to the New York Jets and signed with Green Bay's rival in Minnesota. It wasn't until Favre's successor, Aaron Rodgers(notes), took the team to the Super Bowl that the barn's owner finally decided to honor the team's new quarterback.

Last week Patti Schroeder added Rodgers' No. 12 to the top of the barn, noting that "#12 is 3 x #4." The barn had first read "4 ever in our ♥" during Favre's tenure with the team, referencing Favre's No. 4 jersey. Schroeder split the heart when Favre left the team, but kept up the tribute throughout his time with the Vikings.

Once Rodgers led Green Bay to the Super Bowl, it was time for a change. With the help of some neighbors and a 40-foot ladder, she changed the message by attaching pieces of old advertising signs from a gas station she co-owns. A reference to Favre still remains, but Schroeder says it's clearly "Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood" now.

Happy Fourth Annual "Brent Favre Retires" Day

Posted on January 18, 2011

The Annual Brent Favre Retires Day is in some ways like Easter, it always falls on a different day each year, but it always happens.  But unlike Easter, each previous year it has been shortly followed by a soul crushing “Just Kidding” Annual Brent Favre Un-retires Day.

Brett Favre has Retired... again [crime scene photo]

Posted on January 2, 2011

Brett Favre was the NFL's ultimate iron man for 19 years, inspiring coaches and teammates with unparalleled toughness and thrilling fans with a daredevil's verve and a showman's sense of the moment.

Yet the once-irrepressible Favre never looked older or more fragile than in year No. 20. The magic of last season, and most of his brilliant career, never seemed farther away.

It had to end some time. And Favre says that time is now.

Brett Favre Claims He's One Loss Away From Career-Ending Injury

Posted on December 23, 2010

Though Vikings quarterback Brett Favre confirmed his ailing right shoulder was "no big deal right now" and that the broken bones in his left foot were "uncomfortable but endurable" for the moment, the three-time MVP told reporters Thursday that one more loss could exacerbate his injuries to the point where he would have to retire. "At this level, and at my age, it would take just one game-breaking play—a deep pass, a long run, anything—by the opposing offense to aggravate an injury to the point where I can't go on," said Favre, who later claimed his injuries become more serious with each defeat he suffers. "It's entirely possible for any given team on our schedule to outscore me so badly I can't physically continue my heroic streak of consecutive starts." Favre also added that any victory he led the 3-6 Vikings to this season would be an amazing display of toughness.
