We have been trying to pass the truth (and have a lot of fun) about the Favre saga (and sell shirts) since early June. Some of you still don’t really believe us that Favre is as much (or more) then the Packers are to blame. Favre did not simply find a new job, as many of you believe. It was much, much more complicated then that. It is why many of us booed, why many of us sold our Favre stuff, why many of us won’t talk to our sons about treating Brett as a Packer Hero. It has very little to do with wins, losses, or stats. We appreciate the 16 years… it was fun, but it is over. And just because he played very well twice against us and beat the Packers arse, really changes nothing.
Here is an article, and in that article a link to a previous article, by former Green Bay Packers salary cap guru and former GB Packer management Andrew Brandt.
He may be the only man on the planet that knows both Favre and Ted Thompson very well.
P.S. We sold hundred of shirts over the weekend, so a few sizes are backordered. Could take a few weeks to get your orders. About as long as it takes A-rodge to throw the ball. Hey, our first joke about A-rodge ever. Maybe we are finally moving on…
Yep we were at the game, in a really weird twist I sat next to a guy in “knock off” Judas Favre t-shirt and a guy two rows in front of me had a Favre shirt turned into a 41 Havner jersey.
Pictures and stories (from what we remember) from the game will follow soon (Leroy and Henderson both signed by Judas Jersey.)
Weird, weird vibe all around.
Which is why we believe this was the perfect mess.
We all got our chance to rain boos down on Brett finally. And yes it felt good. I have never heard such loud booing again and again. Like ripping the soul out of 16 years. And it was Brett’s fault.
And in this perfect mess, Brett got his revenge kicking his old teams arse, not once but twice. And it was the Packer’s fault.
Also making this mess perfect is the fact that Vikings fans have to realize their 1 loss record is a bit tarnished as well. The Packers (who let’s face it are not good right now) almost beat them. But, in a perfect sense, they did not. And the Vikings got to feel what we felt for 16 years, dominating the Vikings.
Perfectly as well, Packer fans (as bad as the Packers look) still have hope. 4-3 is not the end of the world, we have the world’s youngest team and we are still getting used to the defense. A-rodge is a bona fide stud. So all is not lost either.
Sometimes the messier things get the clearer the water becomes. Life is strange like that.
We are still selling shirtsl like wild fire, so thanks for the orders. And keep the comments coming we enjoy that too.
Even the New York Times can’t help themselves. Here is the article mentioning our Judas Shirt. You would think the World Series would be bigger in New York. But the NFL does rule the sports world, and this is the biggest regular season, non-playoff implication game, um, EVER. So yeah, we are not surprised.
Realizing a lot of you are new to our site this week, we decided to chronicle our favorite blogs since the inception of this website in early June of this year.
Enjoy.
1. The first. This explains the reason behind the shirt and this here website.
Check out what Leroy Butler (one of the greatest Packers ever) had to say about Judas’s return.
LeRoy Butler on Browns game, Favre’s return to Lambeau
‘If you’re going to stand up wearing Packer clothing or a Packer uniform and cheer when Brett Favre comes out, you should bring a bag and put it over your head.’
After each game, former Green Bay Packers all-pro safety LeRoy Butler teams up with Journal Sentinel beat writer Tom Silverstein in our “5 Questions with LeRoy Butler” feature. Butler appears on behalf of his charity, “The LeRoy Butler Foundation” (leroybutlerfoundation.org).
Following is the Q&A after Sunday’s 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Lambeau Field:
Q. What do you think the fan reaction to Brett Favre should be at Lambeau Field this Sunday and what do you think it actually will be?
A. The reaction should be 100% about Aaron Rodgers. When Aaron Rodgers comes out there you should give Aaron Rodgers a standing ovation because he’s our guy for the next 10 years. When Brett comes out you do like any other opposing quarterback, you boo him. If you don’t want to boo him, don’t say anything. But if you’re going to stand up wearing Packer clothing or a Packer uniform and cheer when Brett Favre comes out, you should bring a bag and put it over your head. You don’t cheer for somebody to beat your team, I don’t care who it is. You don’t cheer for another quarterback. If you want to cheer Brett, just bring a bag, put it over your head and you can cheer, and no one will hear you and that’s fine. This is Aaron Rodgers’ show. Don’t let somebody come into your back yard and cheer against you. You don’t cheer for another guy to beat your team. I hope I’m crystal clear with these fans who say they love to see Brett Favre. Well, Brett Favre is gone. It’s Aaron Rodgers’ show. He’s the No. 1-rated quarterback in the NFC, including Brett Favre. I’m happy we’ll be good for the next 10 years. I hope they’ll cheer Aaron and boo Brett. If they don’t want to boo him, that’s their right. But any other quarterback they’d boo, what makes him so special? I mean, wait until he has his number retired, you can cheer him then. You can applaud him all you want. You can’t do that the day of the game, and want your team to win. That’s standing on the fence. You’re either a Packer fan or a Brett fan. If you’re a Brett fan, go buy some purple and wear purple. I have a strong feeling on this, this is my team. I played 12 years for this team. Anybody who comes into that stadium, I want them to lose. If it were me coming back, I wouldn’t expect anyone to cheer for me when I’m going to destroy your team. Of course not.
Wish we knew how to get Leroy a judas favre t-shirt. We know he would wear it.
The guy is nothing but class and speaks the truth.
Favored in the desert by 3 points against the mighty, mighty Vikings and the magical Brett Favre? Oh man, little ole’ Green Bay with terrible Teddy T. and all their problems are actually favored!?
Oh well, what does Vegas know, it’s not like they make money or anything…
AND HERE IS A POLL FROM JSONLINE.COM, for all you Favre freaks that think you are the majority. Wrong again. Get your judas shirts, we got cancer to beat people.
Oh man we love the old gunslinger. Love ‘em. We mean two fourth quarter turnovers that the Steelers ran back to ruin the magical Vikings dream season. Two. After another incredible fluky and lucky Harvin run back, and the world’s best running back making a mockery of the league. Vikings fans THIS is the Brett Favre us Packer Backers have been dying for you to see. This is the man we loved for so many years. He just can’t help himself. Brett being Brett.
Oh, we know, we know none of this was Brett’s fault. We know, we know. So save your post on how it was Chester Taylor’s fault. (And Greg Lewis’s catch was magic not Brett’s pass, you can’t have it both way Favre Freaks.)
Brett,we love you sooo much we can’t wait until you come back to wear you played for 16 years against your old team. Oh we can’t wait.
