August 2008 proved to be a monumental month in the history of the Green Bay Packers and an unreconcilable month between the franchise and their legendary quarterback Brett Favre. After retiring and unretiring, Favre finally made a trip up to Green Bay to visit the team. Excitement among fans about a positive resolution never came to fruition - instead they were subject to open dialogue between both sides in the media that only tarnished the relationship further.
Within days, Favre was traded out of Green Bay and the Aaron Rodgers era commenced.
As the new saga between the Packers and Rodgers continues on this summer, the hope is that this August, looming less than two months away, will be one remembered for entirely different circumstances.
