Heard about this while fishing. Favre's locker had remained untouched at Lambeau. This is old news now but I felt compelled to comment on it 'cause...it's Favre.REPORTER: How come Favre's locker is still in tact?
COACH MCCARTHY: Who do you want me to put in there?
REPORTER: Isn't it just a locker?
COACH MCCARTHY: I think it's more than a locker, and there's some plans for the locker that will be addressed in the future. But there's nothing else to it. I wouldn't want his locker, especially after his hygiene, my goodness. It's a locker of a very special player in the history of our organization, and there are some plans for the future, and we'll address that when it comes. I'll just leave it at that.
Hmmm. I'm ambivalent about this. I think it's a bit much to leave a player's locker up after he's retired. Enshrine it in the Packer Hall of Fame. I think they'll eventually take it out of there. I guess it's a non-issue now as the Packers are dismantling the locker and shipping it to Brett in Mississippi.
I wouldn't have minded if they left it alone and let it stand where it is. Favre is a legend and I think it would have been a cool gesture and a tribute to him. Can you imagine the feeling the new guys would get each year when they entered the locker room and passed Favre's locker. I think that would've been great! I also like your idea of taking it to the hall of fame. That's a great idea, as well. I guess they decided to dismantle it somehow and send it to Favre. That's a nice gesture, also, but then only Brett gets to see it. I'm not wild about that idea, but then again, no one asked me before they decided! LOL! :)
