Brett Favre may be long gone from the Packers, and football in general (we think), but an ugly, high-profile parting of ways is not going to prevent his name from being etched forever into Green Bay lore. On Thursday, Packers president Mark Murphy told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the team is aiming to retire Favre’s [...]

Rodgers: Matt Flynn is a ‘top-15′ NFL quarterback

March 8, 2012

Although he’s currently being overshadowed by Peyton Manning — you may have heard of him? — Matt Flynn is hands down considered to be the second-best quarterback on the open market.
