I'm sure that there are some Packer fans who will shrug and say, "Oh well, he's going into the Hall of Fame as a Packer, so no biggie."
They are in the minority, folks. Brett Favre could have been discovered eating babies in Green Bay, and the fans would have still forgiven him so long as he had stayed retired. But going to a rival team in the NFC North is the unforgivable sin, and there will be hell to pay when Favre and the Vikings come to Green Bay.
So congratulations, Favre. You've gone from a god-like hero in Green Bay to the one person that Packer fans would be happy to see torn into pieces and buried in dog shit. I hope your massive ego is stroked enough. Yeah, Favre will go into the HoF as a Packer, but he'll now have actual Packer fans pushing against that. Football is bigger than life in Wisconsin, and if Favre had any sense in his damn fool head, he would have remembered that.
I personally think that Favre will make the Vikings better, if only for the fact that teams now have to worry about more than Adrian Peterson. The Viks will win the NFC North, and make a big push into the playoffs. But I'm going to be rooting against him, because you can do a lot, but you never, EVER stab your fans in the back. And as far as Packer fans go, that's exactly what Favre has done.
