Sad to see him go but happy he left with his health. A big thank you from all us cheese-heads.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I grew up watching Favre sling 'em and it is sad to see him go. Although it is great to see him leave on his own terms and not being carted off the field :jointsmile:

Somewhere Aaron Rodgers must be shitting himself with joy :)
