Fans Felt Burned By Brett Set Favre Stuff On Fire
I’ll admit to being a little taken aback when Brett Favre announced his un-retirement last month. Not so much because the future Hall of Fame quarterback had doubts about spending his remaining years at various Mississippi-area fishin’ holes — pretty much everybody figured he’d be back — but at the seemingly unanimous support he received from Green Bay Packers fans once he decided to resume his career.
The organization, however, didn’t share in the excitement. In fact, they had moved on, fourth-year quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the team’s quarterback for 2008 and beyond, and with training camp just days away, the front office’s biggest dilemma was dealing with the public relations nightmare Favre had created.
While the club worked to trade Favre, Rodgers had to deal with taunts from Favre-loving fans (stay classy, children of Green Bay!), but the worst was aimed at Packers management.
But one Waukesha County family is taking a stand against conformity and poor judgment, and had themselves a little Favre-B-Q.
