Packers remove Favre nameplate from locker

The Green Bay Packers took away the Favre nameplate from Brett Favre's locker and replaced it with a standard 'Packers' nameplate. The Packers had initially planned to keep the locker with Favre's name until further plans, but pulled it this week, coincidentally as the locker drew national coverage. Apparently the team is now considering giving the locker to Favre as a gift.

"I think it's been totally blown out of proportion. It's frankly an excellent idea that Ted Thompson and the organization had as far as a gift on a personal note to Brett. It's been discussed with Brett, and we can talk about it at a later date. But its really a construction concern, is the reason why the locker hasn't been taken out of there. So there's nothing more to it. A lot has been made of it.

Ted, at the board of directors meeting yesterday, talked about the Brett locker situation and told them the plans that he had had as far as what he was going to do with the locker and they gave him a standing ovation. It's a classy move and something that definitely reflects how the Green Bay Packers do business and how they appreciate what Brett Favre has done in his career."

    haha who cares! Actually they should send that locker to canton! Possibly have a small area set aside for it with an actual game jersey, helmet and various items over his career. That would actually be pretty cool

    The Pack should have Rodgers use Brett's old locker with the hopes that some of Favres greatness will rub off on him.

    Give it to Nate Jones. The Cowboys cornerback who came on a blindside blitz and knocked Fav-re and the Packers out, in front on a national TV audience.

    Send it to Chicago. Favre has a winning percentage there than anyone the Bears ever suited up.

    In other news...Fiddy
    Authorities are already describing the fire, which was reported today at 5 a.m., as "suspicious" due to the intensity of the blaze, and an arson investigation squad has been called to the sooty scene to sniff out any potential materials used to jump-start the flames.
    "I would say there is a strong—a strong, strong—possibility that it is suspicious," Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld told Newsday. "The volume of the fire...It was engulfed."

    He was the greatest player to ever throw a football. Put it in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There will never be a player like him again. I'm a die-hard Packer fan but I can't see Rodgers making it a full season. Good-Luck Brett you will always me remembered, see you in Canton.

    man, you know that people are really too caught up into sports that they are making a big deal out of a locker. i really liked favre. hes done. no more reason to make much of a deal about him. you all are tards whoever argued about actually what to do with the locker. who really cares. just reuse it. favre will probably never care about it anymore. i doubt he is spending his retirement worried about what they did with his locker. i dont even think that it should be donated to the hall of fame. ITS A LOCKER. who gives a ****

    #12 - I haven't heard the Favre family boo hooing over Deanna's cancer. What they did do was start a foundation for women without health insurance, so they can get treatment. Why would anyone criticize that? Don't be a jerk.

    As for the post on:
    "Arlen Specter, the Senator from Pa. has told NPR News that his investigation into the Spygate scandal
    will continue relentlessly even after all efforts to have NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell cooperate have failed."
    Quit wasting taxpayers money pursuing legal actions on athletics. Put the money toward people who need the money... not chasing after the wealthy to make them feel "disgraced" while they sit in the hot tubs of their multi-million dollar homes....
