Football fans were already eagerly awaiting the start of the 2009 NFL season but Brett Favre definitely upped the antes, coming out of retirement a second time to join the Minnesota Vikings. Fans of the Green Bay Packers (where Favre spent nearly his entire career, worshiped like a god) were guaranteed to be upset with Favre playing for anyone, much less with the Vikings, one of their chief division rivals.
Favre only stoked those angry fires at the press conference he held to announce his return to football and the Vikings, claiming that he didn't understand why Green Bay fans would feel betrayed or be angry, as "true Packer fans" would understand his decision. The first time Favre "retired" was bad enough for Packer fans, as he then later changed his mind and tried to strong-arm the team into welcoming him back. When they didn't, he pouted and ran off to play for the New York Jets, only to "retire" again after one unsuccessful season with the Jets, only to once again change his mind and come back to play for the Vikings.
Who knows how the Brett Favre saga will turn out and if the gambling move to sign him will work for the Vikings, but at least one former team leader in the video below is fed up with the Brett Favre prima donna act:
Only "True Packer Fans" Understand the Enigma that is Brett Favre
