    The Packers need a blue chip type RB or WR who opposing def. coordinators game plan to stop. Think TT will ever pony up in free agency?

  • patrickstrother:
    @MarkEricJohnson No I don't. Jeter isn't an insincere mercenary like Favre or Roger Clemens, but he might need $25 or 30 million.

  • JoeyP_Carter3:
    who had the worse day? the packers, the bears, or the giants?

    Disappointed about the packers today. Coaching needs to step up their game. Or get the boot link

What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published March 6, 2008 at 5:04 a.m.

In the fall 2006, OnMilwaukee.com published exclusive excerpts of Tom Kertscher's book "Brett Favre: A Packer Fan's Tribute." The book, which featured pictures by Packers team photographer Jim Biever, was recently updated and could be due for another after Favre announced his retirement earlier this week.

Kertscher, a newspaper reporter, answered a few questions for us shortly after Favre announced his retirement.

OnMilwaukee.com: What was your reaction to the news?

Tom Kertscher: A mix of disappointment and a strange sort of peace. I'd like to see Favre come back and make one more run for the Super Bowl. But I also feel that, if he's decided he can't do it anymore, that I'm satisfied. He's given his all for a long time. What more can we fans ask?

OMC: Is Favre's legacy diminished in any way by the loss to the Giants, the interception or the fact that he won one Super Bowl?

TK: I don't think the Giants game diminishes anything. With only one Super Bowl ring, he ranks a little behind the (Joe) Montanas and (Terry) Bradshaws. But as an individual performer, with his starting-games streak, and the passion and love he had for the game, he's in a class by himself.

OMC: Will any other athlete in Wisconsin approach Favre's status with fans?

TK: I don't see it. He played the game the way we as fans would like to think we would play it if we ever had the chance: Going all out on every play, never giving up in a game and having as much fun as any kid. With that, on top of bringing the Super Bowl trophy back to Green Bay, he's the greatest.
