Who would have thought that Brett Favre would be booed and jeered at Lambeau Field? Well, that is what he found during his first game at the most sacred Packers stadium since he started wearing the purple uniform of the Vikings. Just like any divorce, the deeper the love, the worse kind of mess you will get. When Favre was let go of the packers, he knew he still had football on his mind and in his arms.
Under Brett Favre's leadershhip, the team that the packers most hate has been able to beat and triumph over its archrival. Favre is determined to lead this Vikings team to a super bowl championship. No matter what the feelings were in the stadium, to many residents of Wisconsin, Brett Favre has been a member of the huge family. He went astray for the time being. Brett likes to hunt, drink a few beers, prefers Jeans and flannel shirts to suits. He has been able to get up and play no matter what his personal trials were over the years.
No matter what, the packers fans hate the Vikings. They do not care much about them. And Favre is seen as working with the enemies! That is what explained their reactions on the field last Sunday. Before the game, one could see a plane trailing a "Retire 4 good" banner around Lambeau. And a loud chorus of boos, jeers erupted from the bleachers. And the names, epithets on the t-shirts said it all: Traitor, Judas, Drama Queen, True Legends Don't Wear Purple, Welcome back to Lambeau Field, B-R-E-N-T, Thanks for the memories.
And Favre understands the reactions of the fans as he plays his best game, leading the Vikings to victory once more. The Packers organization may regret their decision to let him walk off!
