Packers say Favre is Retiring before saying he's not.
Confusing isn't it?
Such was the trend when the official website of the Green Bay Packers released Favre's retirement page before a Packers spokesperson claimed that all that was merely a mistake. He he... Apparently, they did all that just to increase the site's traffic, just like what we do here sometimes...
A page on Packers.com set the rumor mill in motion about yet another speculated retirement of Brett Favre. (Yes, it's turning into an annual thing to keep the rest of us talking about football until we hit September...)
On a page that was labeled as breaking news, a headline read, ''Favre to retire.'' Underneath a HUGE picture of Brett Favre, there was a line that read, ''Packers quarterback Brett Favre has announced that he will retire.''
The same page contained the words, ''Due to the magnitude of today's Packers news, Packers.com is offering this Breaking News page in lieu of our normal Packers.com site.''
Then they announced that it was a mistake.
A Green Bay Packers spokesperson announced that Favre hasn't made a decision yet whether he will retire or not. Favre's agent, James ''Bus'' Cook, even said that no retirement announcement from his client is imminent.
So what the fuck was the fucking website talking about then?!?
''There's nothing to it,'' Green Bay Packers director of public relations Jeff Blumb said about Favre retiring. ''The people who handle our website set up mock pages. It's as simple as that.''
''A third party was preparing something in case (Favre's retirement) happened. They've done that the last five years.''
Holy sh...
