I never was a Packer fan, and they were always a big rival against the Vikes...haha maybe not so much anymore. But watching his press conference today almost brought tears to my eyes, just a genuine guy that never forgot his roots and played the game because he loved the game. Not for money, or his accomplishments..as he said "our accomplishments". Going through countless tragedys with his family with alcohol abuse, family losses, and his wifes battle with breast cancer. And he always came back and proved people wrong..and came back stronger than ever. But I think there is a time to hang it up, and spend time with his family when you have time left in life. He will be missed though..
