Brett Favre's Number "4" to be retired on first game of GB's season = Monday Night Football

Prime time, baby. Brett Favre's number "4" will be officially retired by the Green Bay Packers during the first game on the Packers' schedule - Monday Night against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on September 8th.

With all the speculation by the media and whomever else is speculating on whether or not Brett might come back to play - because he hasn't filed his retirement papers yet, etc. - the retiring of a player's number by a team has nothing to do with the player "retiring" from playing the game. Well, there may be some of you who don't know this so I'm clarifying it for you. It means no player in the history of that franchise can ever wear that number again. Generally speaking, however, the player has retired from the sport.

Guess we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
