[QUOTE="Jess, post: 246276, member: 1495"] I think retiring his number all depends on how successful he is with the Vikings. Hypothetical #1 (the more likely one): Let's say Favre has 2 average years in Minni. Maybe they make the playoffs both years but they end up not getting out of the early rounds, we retire Favre's number the very next year. Remind everyone of why he was a legend in the first place so we can start forgetting the year with the Jets and the years with the Vikes where he was a washed up, oft-injured shell of his former self. We start the healing process immediately and all is well in a few years. Nobody remembers Michael Jordan looking suddenly mortal as a Washington Wizard. Hypothetical #2 (The Doomsday Scenario): Let's say Favre really is the missing piece for Minni. Let's say he swoops in like a salt-and-pepper bearded Jesus and is a contributing factor in a Vikings Super Bowl win. God forbid. If this happens, the Packers have to wait until 5 years after Favre stays gone for good to retire that number. Why, you ask? What would be the ultimate middle finger to the Packer management that he hates so much? Going into the Hall of Fame as a Viking. I don't think Favre is that vindictive, but who knows? Maybe he'd think to himself "I won a Super Bowl both places, I really enjoyed my time in Minnesota more than I enjoyed the last bit of my career in Green Bay, maybe I want to be remembered for years to come as a Viking, and going into the Hall in Purple would make that happen". Highly unlikely, granted, but you never really know what's going through that man's mind. And more than that, you don't really know if his spite for the Packers would drive him to going in as a Viking. [/QUOTE]
