Looks like Bus Cook called the opponent. The schedule comes out tonight but it appears the Bears will be playing the Packers at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving evening.
Brett Favre's number to be retired by Packers on Thanksgiving night
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are planning to hold Brett Favre's number retirement ceremony on Thanksgiving night, a source confirmed.
The Packers will host the Chicago Bears in a primetime game on Nov. 26, ESPN.com has learned.
A source said details still have to be worked out before there will be an official announcement about Favre's retirement ceremony.
Last week, Packers president Mark Murphy said he asked the league for special scheduling consideration with regard to Favre's ceremony, but wouldn't specify what was in the request.
However, Favre's agent Bus Cook made reference to a November date during an interview with ESPN.com at the scouting combine. Cook also said he hoped it would be when the Packers played the Bears.
Favre's uniform No. 4 actually will be retired during his July 18 induction into the Packers Hall of Fame, but it won't go up on the Lambeau Field façade until the ceremony on Nov. 26.
