As a life-long Vikings fan, it wasn't easy seeing Favre in a Vikings uniform after so many years as an opponent. His first year as a Viking was magical and he definitely didn't play as old as he really was. I'm happy that he has mended his relationship with the Packers although I know some Packer fans that are still upset with him playing for the Vikings.

As a Packer fan, after Favre stuck it to the fans and tried to sabotage the Packers, I'd have been happy if Favre never came back to the Packers and retired as a Viking. Let them retire his number. Piss on him. I was sick of him in 2005 and 2006 when he sandbagged the team over Mike Sherman getting demoted and fired. I though Favre and his chronic choking was a perfect match for the Vikings and their post season curse. 2009 ended exactly the way I predicted it would.

@James Andrews Favre was pissed that Sherman was demoted and fired for mismanaging the team. For drafting guys like Punter BJ Sander, Ahmad "oven mitts" Carrol, "too small" Jamal Adams and signing "Joe Johnson for $3.2 mil per sack. Favre sandbagged the team to get cut in '05 and '06. When that didn't work, after he sandbagged the Packers by ignoring a wide open 1st down throw to a TE and threw a late weak pass to a covered Driver to choke away the NFCCG at home, he fake retired. He was never asked to retire. He was asked what his plans were so the team could make roster and contract decisions. He fake retired with the plan of waiting until camp started and then coming back to put the Packers over the cap and roster limits. Thompson had room on the cap for Favre's unplanned 12 mil, and got a roster exemption, so they didn't have to cut him and he could come back. That is when Favre proved it was all a scam to break his contract by demanding a trade. The comeback wasn't about playing, it was about getting out of a contract. When he was playing for the Jets, he went to the rest of the NFC North and offered to decode Mccarthy's playbook. The Bears said no, but the Lions accepted the help. We know he was already talking to Chilly and Bevil in Minnesota because they admitted it. The fake retirement thing was probably Chilly's idea in the first place. Favre choked in the post season whenever the game was on the line and the ball was in his hands. The Vikings deserved him and in 2009, they got just that. Favre isn't even the 4th best QB in Packer history. Anyone who really knows Packer history well would tell you that. Just because you were an impressionable child when Fave was playing, doesn't mean you remember him accurately.

It's funny how Brett Farve's Jet season was ended by a former Jet, Chad Pennington.

Well, aside from being an interception machine, he also stole millions of dollars from Mississippi welfare program....which is absolutely pathetic and disgusting.

Anyone who watched the Minnesota Vikings vs Saints need to realize that Favre did not lose that game. Yes he threw the interception at the end but the vikings were killing the saints all game until Adrian Peterson fumbled a handful of times and whoever that receiver was that fumbled I believe at the 10 maybe 20 yard line. Favre will always be a top 3 player to me because I remember when he threw that touchdown pass to Andre Rison in the super bowl at the start. It was so magical for my 7 year old brain. Lol my dad even to this day on packer game day will still say, "Put FAVRE on the field dammit."
