Packers Should Be Happy Favre is a Viking
Cheeseheads all over Packerland were in shock when Brett Favre signed with the Vikings this week. But they shouldn’t be. Instead, they should be happy. That’s right: happy. I’m a Cheesehead and I know some of you are hurting. But here’s a new way you can look at the situation, and even find some happiness in it.
Favre Has Two More Chances to Beat the Bears
Yeah, sure, Favre is going to play opposite Green Bay for the first time ever, but he’s also going to play the Bears. Again. And you know how those Bear fans can’t stand Favre. They don’t know why, they just do. And Packer fans can take some pleasure in that.
Favre Looks Awful in Purple
It was one thing to see him in green and white. But purple? Awful. No one looks good in that color, especially not an-ex Packer. It will be easier to look at Favre as an ex-member of our team that way. Which reminds me:
The Favre Saga is Truly Done
Didn’t it feel like the ghost of Favre hung over Lambeau a little bit last year? We had the constant comparisons between Aaron Rodgers and Favre, the constant talking about what Favre would have done, and even the inane comparison of hand sizes between the two quarterbacks. But with Favre in purple now it has never been so clear that he’s gone from the team. We wished him well when he went to the Jets. Now it will be like, “Did you ever play for us? We can’t remember.” Which is how we have to look at him right now.
The 3/4 Defense Can Shine
We’ve all heard about the fabulous 3/4 defense the Packers are using this year. Dom Capers is here – we’re excited. Our defense can shine, and no more brightly than when we play our ex-quarterback. It will make for a much more interesting game when we play the Vikings.
