Favre wants out if he is not the starter so the Packers trade him away....goes to the Vikings to get back at them, beats them twice but gets no Super Bowl.

Packers beat Favre twice in 2010 and come away with a Super Bowl victory....gee which side "won?" Favre or the Packers? I think its obvious....lol

i will always like brett farve, he has always been up there with my fav QBs. I am glad he played for the vikes his last few years and even though the vikes are having a really messed up season and fell apart earliy in the season i respect him. it was a good run over his carrer. I hope tjack isint the starter next season, if we still have a team and or stadium. p.s now that vikes are deff not making playoffs go PATS!
