Favre back at Lambeau: Closure for Cheeseheads

Hey I get it. Favra comes back to Lambeau today and 91% of Fox affiliates are airing this game. It's a huge huge game. I mean I framed Brett's SI Sportsman of the Year cover in his last year with the Pack Attack. Brett was my guy, and the Pack were my team. But now all it is, is that it's not the same.

He jogs onto the field with boos galore. NFL Countdown had a story where all former Packers just roasted him as some sort of traitor for coming back to Lambeau in a Vikings uniform. Holy, I love ESPN Countdown, but talk about a story reeking of hyperbole!!!!

But, I don't hate Brett for leaving. I mean, he could've handled his retirement/non-retirement roller coaster better. But the bottom line is that the Pack were one OT period vs. the NY Giants from going to the Super Bowl in his last year in GB. Does anyone in their right mind think Brett wanted to: A) Retire or B) Leave Green Bay after that amazing season?!?!?!? No and No. The Packer's brass said they didn't want him.

So he goes to the Jets and now the Vikings. Again, the Packers GM did not want him, and we all know how competitive Brett is and how much he loves playing football. So Packer fan, don't hate on Brett for coming back.

This is a bid-ness and the emotional bond of one icon with one team ended 21 years ago with Wayne going to the LA Kings!!!!!

So here comes todays game. And Packer fan, get it out.....boo your face off. That's alright. This is healthy closure to let those emotions out and to just get it over with. Because we all know the second that Favra retires and hands in his retirement papers into the League to STAY retired, Brett will return as a life-long Packer.
