Green Bay Packer'S Tickets - Favre Still Welcome Even After Retiring
Fans of green bay still remain to see whether the 39 year old Brett Favre will really retire after declaring it again. He has in the past announced it but went in to playing again.
With an injury on his right shoulder Favre says he cannot play anymore and it is the right time for him to retire from NFL, even though many do not believe him. Favre suffered the injury at Seattle in December 21st during a game in which they lost 13-3. It will be remembered that last year, Favre held an emotional press conference in which he announced his retirement move but later changed his mind during summer a move that saw him land at New York jets.
Despite of Favre playing for New York jets, the green bay packers want to honour him by retiring his no.4 jersey at their own time and even say the player who has an experience of 18 years still holds a special place in packers and so he is welcomed anytime he wants to come back.
Favre believes that his return to packers some day will be impacted by the presence of the general manager Ted Thompson, who traded him to New York jets. Even though the hate and rage he feels for Thompson is evident Favre says he holds no bad feelings for the move Thompson made and that it is just what people are speculating.
Initially Favre had wanted to move to Minnesota but packers through Thompson sold him to New York jets because they had signed a marketing deal with him. That explains the hatred that exists between the two.
The president and chief executive owner of the packers Mark Murphy however says that they are still considering placing a multi million dollar marketing agreement should the player decide to stop playing for good. A deal that he was offered last summer but declined.
Favre has spent 16 good seasons at packers and was the first player to win three MVP awards and took the team to consecutive super bowls that led to their win in the 1996 championship season. Favre's best season was when he led green bay to a 13-3 record within a Super Bowl game in 2007 before he decided to step aside making the packers to pick Aaron Rodgers.
Favre expresses that he will never regret completing his career at packers and ever playing with the jets. He says that he cannot throw the ball the way he used to, an even more reason as to why he should leave. Favre sure looks satisfied with playing. He has had it all, the awards, share of mistakes and lucky breaks. He says he is sure that he can never trade his career with anything.
Green bay packers are left with a decision of resigning Mark Tauscher, and finding a new defensive coach after head coach mike McCarthy sacked Bob Sanders. Their fans are left to see what the officials will do to improve the performance in the team.
