My hear seriously just sunk in my chest. The biggest sports name in Wisconsin and the best quarterback I’ll see in my lifetime – Brett Favre – is retiring after 17 seasons, according to ESPN.

I was hoping that after last week’s accidental retirement page on the team’s Web site that Brett would come back for another season, and most sports talking heads thought he would. But it turns out the Pack will be under the relatively untested and far more breakable hand of Aaron Rodgers next season.

I’ve lived in Jordan for two full years now (my second-year anniversary at this wonderful job is Thursday, July 5).
