Oh Brett Favre!

[calenfenwen]

So as you all have probably noticed, I live in Green Bay, WI. Which as some of you know is home to the Green Bay Packers, a professional football team (American) in the National Football League.

Well: The city is a little bat shit today. Why? Because Brett Favre (beloved Quarterback of the team for yeeeeeears and years and was amazing and awesome) betrayed us all and signed on to be the quarterback to our arch nemesis and rival: the Minnesota Vikings.

OH NO HE DIDN'T! OH YES HE DID!!!

Basically, he destroyed my childhood. Before 2007, people my age couldn't remember a season without Brett Favre at the helm. The Vikings? Ughajtuojsalfkj. No.

See this is the Brett I grew up on. He was the hero to kids my age. In elementary school, there were "Go Pack Go!" Days were all of the classrooms had contests to see who had the most Packer spirit. It was usually on Fridays or Mondays before a big game. All of the boys wanted to be Brett and we all admired him since he was so Great.

He's just a jerk for betraying us like that. He just wants the fame, glory, money, and records that another season will bring. He also wants another Super Bowl victory, but I don't see that coming. He'll be 40 in October and practically all defensive linemen in the league what to pound his ass so hard.

Predictions:
He will through more interceptions than touchdowns
The Vikings will have to rely on Adrian Peterson AKA "Purple Jesus" to do most all the scoring for them
Brett won't be the starter for all 16 games.
Won't win NFC North
Might go to playoffs on a wildcard.

See, this is why I prefer college football. The players don't betray you the way pro players can. Plus, you get used to the star players changing up every few years, instead of getting too dependent on one or two being awesome for years and years.

Well Favre has been practically the only source of dramaz for the last 5+ years. Even before he retired for the first time, it was always a "will he won't he" decision that always got resolved at the last minute.

There is good and bad about both college and professional football, but it's all good.

Actually, I do call it a betrayal. After last year's retirement he did everything possible to get signed by the Vikes just to shove it in Thompson's face no doubt. I'm seriously hating the way he handled himself these last few months, it's ridiculous. The way he treated the Jets too. He's not going for the love of the game anymore, it's for glory and money.

I'm actually surprised you didn't hear our house (and the rest of GB) explode at his comment, “If you’re a true Packer fan, you understand.”
