Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Favre announced his retirement earlier this year, ending a 17-year career. Do you suppose recent comments by Favre, in which in speculated on the possibility he'd be interested in returning to action at some point this fall, helped team officials decide on the early ceremony? Whatever the case, Favre's number will become the sixth retired by the team. Others are the No. 14 of wide receiver Don Hutson, fullback Tony Canadeo's No. 3, quarterback Bart Starr's No. 15, linebacker Ray Nitschke's No. 66 and defensive end Reggie White's No. 92.
