Some say cheer Favre. Others say boo Favre. Some say be silent. Even the mayor of Green Bay has gotten in on the action, asking fans to email him tasteful ways to welcome Brett back to Green Bay for his first visit since his "divorce" from the Packers after the 2007 NFL season. I emailed the mayor and told him to do nothing - just let the game be played. All the hub-bub concerning Brett's return will play itself out - no need to add fuel to the fire. Wasn't it the Packer organization that breathed a sigh of relief once they traded Brett to the Jets last year? No more media circus? Get on with their season? They why is a politician stoking the flames by taking fan requests? Dumb question, I know - and an even dumber idea, Mayor.
The most intelligent article I've read detailing how fans should react when Favre strolls onto Lambeau Field Sunday as the "enemy" (after 16 years with the Packers) comes from Gary Howard's "Cheer first, Jeer later" (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 10-27-09). YOU are a classy man, Mr. Howard.
Being that I and my brother and mother are staunch Favre supporters (dad's ambivalent), we obviously want Minnesota to kick the shit out of the Packers. But here are two of my favorite quotes regarding Brett's playing for the Vikings this season - the Packer's most hated rival:
No. 1 = Cool quote:"Seeing Brett in purple, when I first saw it I kind of threw up in my mouth...When that jersey comes off and he decides to retire, we'll bring him back home." - Ex-Packer Defensive tackle Santana Dotson (above), Super Bowl XXXI winner with Brett on the 1996 team, regarding Favre playing with the Minnesota Vikings
No. 2 = Dumb fuck quote:
"I'm still green and gold all the way. I hate Minnesota...It didn't bother me, him (Favre) with the Jets. But Minnesota I know personally I could never do it. I would just retire." - Ex-Packer Tight End Mark Chmura, Super Bowl XXXI winner
Well, you basically DID retire, Chewie, 'cause no one wanted your happily married-w/children- skank-ass after the Packers released you following those charges of inappropriate contact with a minor in a hot tub in Wisconsin, dipshit. You were good with the Pack, but no one cares if you'd retire or not, given the opportunity. You fucked yourself, asshole.
I have a friend who went to high scholl with that chick..total bullshit story and she was a major liar/hoe...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add that to make it accurate :)
doesn't change the fact that Chuey was in the hot tub with underage girls and he's married. still got him cut from GB and unhireable period.
