Long Live Aaron Rodgers

As someone who has written on this blog 17 times about Brett Favre and my beloved Packers, this news is the final straw...you are dead to me Brett.

You are as big a douche bag as this photo makes you look:

The king is dead, long live Aaron Rodgers.

My solution...the Packers should do nothing and just pay him and bench him. He can ride the pine for the rest of his contract even if Rodgers throws 4 interceptions his first game...don't forget what Brett's first game was like.

Packer Schedule

Next year's Packers schedule came out earlier this week and here are some of the highlights:

Monday, September 8th
Home game against the Vikings
This will be Aaron Rodgers' starting debut and an official end to Brett's starting record [assuming he gets through the pre-season without injury].

Sunday, October 19th
Home game against the Colts
If the Packers are anywhere near as good as they were last season, this will be one of the premier games for the entire league let alone the Green & Gold.

Monday, December 22nd
Away game against the Bears
Above all else, we must avenge our losses to the Bears during last season.

Goodbye

Overall, I think I am taking the news that Brett Favre is retiring a lot better than I took our NFC championship loss to the Giants. I am excited to see what an entire season of an Aaron Rodgers-led Packers team would look like and although I am excited, it is a good thing for Mike McCarthy that he got his contract extension this year rather than next because it might not be so pretty next year.
