Moving forward; Brett Trade Reaction

It’s over. 

Now normally, I lead a busy day-to-day life.  You know, 8 hour office job Mon-Fri, married with one child and one on the way.  It’s an early rise for me and an early rest time in the evening.  Last night, and not due to the ongoing ’saga’ I didn’t retire for the evening until sometime around 10:45pm local time.  No word of this had surfaced during our 10pm  newscast on the local NBC affiliate.  So, it was only now - in the pre-dawn hours that I am finding out about this news.

At this point nobody is shocked - except those amongst us who find it almost impossible to move on.  Now, going back 5 months and telling anyone this would be going down - yeah totally shocking - make the earth move shocking (okay not quite, but this is Favre, Green Bay and football).  Thompson’ clause that if the Jets were in it to turn around and trade Brett to either the Bears or Vikings (dont you think DET too?), then they will automatically get 3 first round picks - a good move on Thompson’ part - just in cas.  My feeling on that though is - once you get someone - its your player and do as you wish.  Perhaps in other sports (hockey), its different as we often see players getting traded once and then twice in order to get these 2-3 way deals done.  Not the way in NFL land!

At any rate, most people realize Brett’s16 year span in Green Bay will overshadow the remaining years that he may play - even if he were to - ughhh -….. win you know..with yeah…the Jets…there said it, done with it.  But that’s the facts.  He will, like others before him, always be remembered as Favre the Packer. 

So, so long and thanks for the memories Brett.  See you in 09, 10 or whenever for your finally official Lambeau Field retirement stuff.

=== Now, moving forward, I will be breaking down the upcoming pre-season tilt headed to Titletown this coming Monday soon.  As well, I will try and post any special Green Bay Press-Gazette stuff that hits my mailbox this morning.

Glad to see this thing get taken care of - everyone I think can relax now and get excited about the upcoming football to be played here in Green Bay, there in New York and the rest of the NFL.
