Details of Favre's Marketing Package

Details regarding the marketing deal that the Green Bay Packers offered to Brett Favre are starting to be reported. According to JSOnline.com, the deal included personal appearances, autographs, and even a Blog on the Packers' web site.

If this information is true, than it really does give me the impression that the Packers are sincere about a "long-term" relationship with Favre. Hopefully this marketing deal will still be on the table after Favre retires for real.

Favre's First Start as a Packer

For the first time since September 20, 1992, a quarterback not named Brett Favre will be in the Packers' starting line up in tonight's Monday Night Football matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. It will be a strange sight indeed, and the end of a remarkable era.

Here are highlights from Favre's first start as a Packer, aired on ESPN's NFL Primetime, September 27, 1992. (note how Favre was the holder for kicker, Chris Jacke).

Favre: "I'll always be a Packer"

Several hours after I created this blog, "Brett Favre is a Packer", Favre actually stated in his August 7 press conference, "I've always wanted to be a Packer. I think I'll always be a Packer". I'm glad that Brett and I are on the same page on this one. Too bad Packers management hasn't caught up with us yet.


But, to hear Brett say these words gives me hope that hard feelings will eventually be patched up between Favre and the Packers organization. And Brett can come back to Green Bay where he belongs. I don't expect he'll ever take a snap in a Packers uniform ever again, but his presence at Lambeau should be welcomed. What events happen between now and then, remains to be seen. I hope that Brett is able to continue breaking his own records, and remains healthy on the playing field.

And I really hope that Brett knows what he is getting into.

Brett Favre is a Packer

It might seem strange that I started this blog on the same day that Brett Favre was traded away from the Green Bay Packers. But the title of this blog, "Brett Favre is a Packer" is intended to imply that despite that fact that Brett is now on another team's roster, he should always be welcomed back to Green Bay by the fans, as well as the organization.

Brett Favre, in my opinion, is one of the greatest athletes to ever play in the NFL. I believe the Packers organization made a mistake in letting him go, and I will use this blog to show my support for Brett Favre. At times, this blog will be a forum for sharing Brett's accomplishments, (both past and future). And when I'm particularly irked about an issue, I'll probably use this blog as a way to vent. So consider yourself warned.

But overall, I will try to keep this blog interesting by focusing my comments on the last man to ever wear the number 4 for the Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre.
