Some thoughts from a Bears fan about Favre's retirement:
Posted by LudeDude98:
"Man, I don't know what to say...honestly.
I have been waiting for this day to come for Years...YEARS! I have been waiting so long to see Favre retire, and leave the Packers; no more Favre magic, no more bear killer, my arch nemesis gone. I have wished and wished for this.
And the day has come; and I am not happy at all, I am actually quite upset, you could actually say I'm sad.
I am almost 23 years old. For as long as I have been able to actually watch football, and retain what was going on, #4 has been in the green and gold.
Favre won his superbowl when I was in 5th grade...I am now a senior in college.
Favre is the Green Bay Packers to me. He is their identity, and their spirit. I have never, NEVER, seen a Packers game without Favre under center. Him leaving is not just an end of a dynasty for me, it's the end of the Packers. Yes, the bears will play the Packers twice next season, as they always do. The rivalry will be there, and it will be bragging rights between us for whoever is on top when the clock reaches 0:00. But when I think about next season, and beating the packers, does it feel good? Will I feel like we actually accomplished something major? Without Favre taking the snaps, it's almost meaningless to me.
I know I'm just ranting, but I am very upset, almost about to cry on this side of the computer screen. I just feel I will never see the Packers in the same light ever again. Just another division rival, right next to the Lions and Vikings, nothing more to it other than the same ole' storied history that is attached every time we meet.
So congrats to Brett Favre, you are the defnition of football to me. I don't think I will remember, admire, hate, respect, fear, and miss any other player more than #4."
