[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 448126, member: 2846"] Jack and Mikey have it right. Why do teams retire numbers? To memorialize a player because his status as a member of the organization has reached some level. The problem with Brett is not that he played for another team - Lombardi and Reggie went to other teams and their reputations were still iconic. The problem is that he spit in our faces. He pissed on Greenbay, the Packers, and on all Packer fans. With that kind of attitude, why in the hell would you like to honor him? He roots against the Packers. He tried everything in his power to undermine the team. This goes way beyond playing for an enemy. There are no statues of Benedict Arnold glorifying his excellent military career prior to trying to turn over West Point to the enemies.* In recent times he has softened his stance in the press. What else is he going to do? Minny fans despise him for throwing away their best chance at a SB in decades. Jets fans never really warmed to him. All he has left is to try and undo all the wrong he has done to the Packers. I was a big Favre fan. I liked his effort and his humble attitude. But wake up and smell the coffee - the true Brett revealed himself in a big way. I think Jacks' adjectives pretty much sum it up for me also. Brett is no kind of man who deserves any recognition from this long and proud franchise. *ThnxJackVainisi attributed with first making this analogy [/QUOTE]
