Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers to hold Hall of Fame joint announcement on Monday
By Jack Crosby
There have been a lot of whispers and rumors as to why legendary quarterback Brett Favre has not yet taken his rightful place in Green Bay Packers lore by being inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame, but that could change with an announcement that is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
According to a release directly from the Packers organization, there will be a joint announcement held on Monday regarding the quarterback that won them a Super Bowl, the team and their Hall of Fame.
"The Packers and Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. issued a media advisory at 7 p.m. on Sunday, relating to a joint announcement regarding former Packers quarterback Brett Favre: “The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. and the Green Bay Packers will make a joint announcement regarding former quarterback Brett Favre Monday, Aug. 4, at 1:30 p.m., in the new Hall of Fame under construction in the Lambeau Field Atrium.”"
Well that’s a pretty clear indication that Favre will be receiving his long awaited induction with the rest of the Packers legends that are already there.

At last word, it was speculated that Favre was holding off on being inducted because he fears being booed by the Packers fans in attendance that could still be a little upset at him for the foiled retirement attempts in the past.
Now we’ll get to see if that is the case or not.
