Pack To Postpone Retiring Favre’s Jersey
25/07/2008 05:06
GREEN BAY, Wis. - With Brett Favre's retirement up in the air, it goes without saying that the Green Bay Packers might have to put off retiring the three-time MVP's jersey.
The Packers had scheduled a ceremony to retire Favre's jersey in conjunction with the Sept. 8 season opener against Minnesota at Lambeau Field.
But with Favre now considering playing again in 2008 and locked in a standoff with Packers management about his future in football, Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy acknowledged Thursday that the ceremony might have to be postponed.
''We have not made a decision yet on whether to cancel it,'' Murphy said, after the Packers' annual shareholders meeting at Lambeau. ''But we're coming up to a point where we're going to have to make a decision pretty quickly.''
But Murphy said any delay would only be temporary.
