Donald Driver retiring
Driver's contract was up and there was concern that he might go into free agency, but he announced he will retire.

He'll have a retirement ceremony/party at the Atrium in Lambeau on Feb. 6. Tickets were sold on a first come first served basis, and fans stood in line all night--in 10 degrees--to get the tickets.
Driver is the first player I learned to recognize after Favre. I loved his grin and enthusiasm. There was a quote from him on the news that I'll try to find on the web so I can get it right, but it was along the lines of "The day I first put on the Green and Gold I knew this was the only team I wanted to play for."
Godspeed Donald!
