IRVING, Texas -- The saddest thing about Super Bowl XLV is that the Green Bay Packers want you to forget about the other guy.They really do.
"All of the people, they're moving on. They're just excited about No. 12," said Packers offensive guard Daryn Colledge, referring to Aaron Rodgers, now the people's choice in Green Bay at quarterback -- as opposed to Brett Favre, the other guy, who was No. 4 before a nasty ending in 2008 to his 16-year career with the Packers.
That's why, when you mention Favre these days, you get a bunch of contradictory responses from his old locker room.
On the one hand, Packers wide receiver Donald Driver said this about the other guy who was his teammate of nearly a decade: "I mean, he's one of the best ever to play this game. He's a true Hall of Famer." Then on the other, Driver said, "But you're always going to be able to have somebody who can come in and fill your shoes."
Somebody who can fill Favre's shoes?
Puhleeze.
