I personally liked Favre when he was here. Absolutely hated him when he wasnt.
Lust? Greed? Desperation at the postion? I dont know. I curiously wanted him to come here when the rumors of him wanting to play here were hot. I was like "oh shit?!" when he arrived. He won me over with grit and obvious command of the offense. He looked excited to be here. That TD to Greg Lewis was insane.
I have a framed Sports Illustrated of Favre in purple among my Vikings memorabillia. Wish it would have worked out in that NFCC game, and in 2010.
He gave us the rest of all he had left. He took some shots in that Championship game, and some nasty ones in 2010 too. I hate his Packer career, but my lasting memories of the guy are with us. ... and hey, he motivated the hell outta John Randle lol... loved those battles.
