You have to let go at some point.
I saw Walter Payton, **** Butkus, Gale Sayers and Michael Jordan among others end their careers here and the fans did not expect them to give us more than they had already done.
They gave us more than enough and we were grateful that we got to see it.
How many championships have the Yankees won after players like Ruth, Gering, DiMaggio and Mantle called it quits?
Zero? Yeah.
7 since Mantle left.
23 after Ruth was gone.
I guess that they were not big stars in New York like Brett Favre is in Wisconsin eh?
They should have just folded in 1934 because their hero was gone just like some of the Packer fans are waiting to do. Jump off of that band wagon and start a site called Favreforum.com. Too weird.
Phil, there are times where I think you are funny and make intelligent posts, but this is not one of them. How fair is it to take the most sucessful franchise is pro sports to compare in this argument? What if I talked about Mordecai Brown and the 1908 Cubs and they still haven't won a championship. Or what if I said the Red Sox had to wait 85 years after they sold Ruth, their star player?
Now I'm not saying Favre is the last hope for Green Bay, and they will never win a championship. The success or failure is not based on the HOF player, it based on the new talent, which the Yankees could buy. Learn some history, Phil.
