Brett Favre now officially on retired list

The Green Bay Packers have placed quarterback Brett Favre on the NFL's reserve/retired list, along with waiving three players, to reduce the number of players counting against the Green Bay active roster to 68 players on active status. The transactions were announced Friday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson

"The NFL does not require a letter for a player to be placed in a reserve/retired status. Brett has announced his retirement publicly and this is simply a personnel transaction made to develop a roster opportunity for the Packers."

There ya go....for now :)

Good Job ML, although I think a part of you is sad that this is true.

Still hope though, right? LOL. He hasn't filed those papers yet.

Oohh you're bad. I'm not talking about it anymore! LOL!!

LOL ms. lisa, :)



for you Ms. Lisa

Thank you ck! :)
I will miss watching him play, he's been the heart and soul of our team for most of my life.
Yes birdsrule...the good, the bad and the ugly :) ...but we've loved him anyways, that's what fans do.
That said, I am truly happy for him and for his family. He'll be missed, but it was his time and a good decision.
It will be an adjustment, who knows how the Pack will do this year, but I have a lot of faith in Rodgers.
Brett still cracks me up though, i'll probably miss that the most! Thanks for the video :)

u r welcome!!! anytime i come across something with him, i know just who will appreciate it the most :)!
he will be missed by everyone in the NFL, and i'm sure he's HOF bound!!!!
