Brett Favre of the Vikings made his triumphant return to Lambeau Field in Greenbay Sunday afternoon. As he took the field for warmups he was showered with a deafening barrage of boos. But opening up their cheese stuffed faces to boo wasn't the only method Packer fans used to display their disdain for the dejected prince of green and gold. According the the AP, fan shirts and signs were seen comparing Favre to Judas. One Packer fan was quoted as saying... “It’s like going into church on Sunday and the priest says, `Everybody go home, Jesus has now sided with the devil,”’ [Packers fan Mark Fields, who was wearing a Favre jersey with "JUDAS" written on the back] said. This kind of biblical comparison might be a little over the top. But the great Nostradamus warned us that the end of days would begin with the coming of the anti-christ. Packer fans are convinced Favre's move to the dark purple side is confirmation of this prophecy.
By far the best and most creative display at Lambeau Sunday was thie picture at left of a fan who super-imposed Favres face onto a picture of Fredo, the treasonous brother from the classic The Godfather. Other fans went so far as to pay for a plane to fly over the stadium pulling a banner reading "Retire 4 Good!"My two cents: First of all, I am a Bears fan so that should put some of what I'm about to say into perspective. Listen, in my opinion, Packer fans have every right to feel like someone stuffed a sharp cheddar up their butts. Favre enjoyed a successful career in Green Bay with an organization that looked at Favre like petofiles looked at Miley Cyrus early in their respective caareers. But after a while people get older and they lose their appeal and all of a sudden you have an eighteen year old gir...I mean a forty year old man running your offense. He says he loves you and thanks you for everything you've done for him, especially those free nacho cheese HJs at the local Green Bay massage parlor, and agrees to end his career with the team that gave him everything so that the next young gir...I mean stud quarterback can have a chance in the spotlight. But this wasn't good enough for the attention whore. He made a whole nation feel sorry for him with his fake tears and then turned around and claimed he was forced out of Green Bay. Come ON! You are old even if you can still zing that ball all over the field (and he can), the risks of putting him back on the field with that shotty O-line were too much. I mean just imagine if it was Favre under center in Green Bay getting pummeled into the ground week after week.
So after a mediocre season in NY, he announces his retirement, for real this time. OK Brett, so you came back and you didn't have all the success you dreamed you would have but its time to hang up the jersey you old-balled bastard. Nope, he decides to deliver a big F-U to the organization that shunned him. But what Brett didn't realize is that by doing so he was also delivering a big F-U to all those loyal Packer fans who cheered him on for so many years and treated him like a god. By becoming a Viking, Brett was essentially sticking toothpicks under Packer fans toenails and making them kick a wall (sorry for the visual). NOw I dont know about you, but if that person ever came back to my house I would try my best to deliver a nice big creative F-U right back in his face. So go ahead Packer fans, hate this selfish bastard as much as you want. He deserves it. I have been talking to a lot of other Bears fans lately and we have all come to a similar conclusion. Vikings fans are officially the most obnoxious fans in football. Congratulations Packer fans, you're only second most obnoxious now.
