Letter to Brett Favre


Dear Brett,

So, you changed your mind and now you’re a Viking. And you think your true fans will understand. But before the season gets underway, there’s a thing or two we’d like to get off our chest. We know you have time to read this since you tend not to want to spend a lot of time practicing anymore.

You say your legacy is your own whether we like it or not? We disagree. While no one can argue that your talents aren’t incredible and that your accomplishments aren’t amazing, we want to point out that you forgot something. You forgot about us. We were the ones who watched you every week from the stands and from our living rooms.

We were the ones watching when you completed your first pass as a Packer to yourself.

We were the ones watching when you and Reggie White and Mike Holmgren and so many others made it to the Super Bowl and brought the Lombardi Trophy home.

We were the ones who welcomed you home when you lost the next Super Bowl. We were sad, but still proud of you and your teammates and still happy to be Packer fans.

We were the ones who didn’t judge you when you had personal issues, and defended your honor to lesser fans of the game.
