That's what I see every time I look at that other thread title.

Now, football season is over, and this doesn't make any sense anyway, since Roethlisberger is pretty good all on his own. Both have Superbowl rings.

Some of us are just partial to the Grand Old Man of Green Bay.
 
Some of us are just partial to Green Bay period. :)

Gotta :love: Brett! What a good guy; but yeah Ben's not so bad either.

Well, it looks like this is it.Although there has been nothing official from Green Bay, enough reliable, but unofficial sources, have confirmed that the grand old man is retiring.It's been a fun 17 year ride!
 
It's oficial!:( :( It's a SAD day in WI and everywhere else there are Packer fans. I have been watching the coverage since it broke @ 830 or so. Heard an interview with his brother, his agent and a message he left for an ESPN reporter he is done.:cry: He says mentally he is just tired. He loves plaing on Sundays it's the prep work during the week that drains him.
 
It's definately been a fun ride! Think he'll end up a sports commentator like Troy & some of the other guys?
