Brett Favre officially announced his really real for realsies retirement today, which, immediate unretirement rumors pending, now opens the door for Aaron Rodgers, the Packers’ first-round pick back in 1993, to finally step into the gunslinger’s legendary being-unfazed-by interceptions shoes. Packers fans, brush those tears aside and meet your new franchise quarterback:
Cheer up, Green Bay — this guy knows every play on the clipboard inside and out, plus the years of standing on the sidelines without being able to do anything athletic to warm himself up should render him nearly immune to the Lambeau cold.
He’s also not Jay Fiedler.
