What's the Story?
Fantastic Number Four may be gone from Lambeau, but Brett Favre's legacy lives on in the record books and memorabilia shops, following 16 legendary years as the gunslinger of the Green Bay Packers. Even as Favre now trades in his Packer green and gold for Jets green and white, this fun-loving Mississippi son and NFL fan favorite's place in Packer history is unshakeable and undeniable, as is the volume of memorabilia/cards/memories produced during his tenure with Green Bay. As history has shown, through the likes of Joe Montana, Joe Namath and Emmitt Smith, the jersey and team may change, but players are always tied to the neighborhood where they made miracles and memories.
