Fans Turn Out for Favre

SportsFans Turn Out for FavreFans Turn Out for FavreThe Associated PressThere was no parade, no motorcade, and no photo opportunity, hardly the way you'd expect Brett Favre to return to the Green Bay Packers after spending most of the past month as the league's longest-running daytime drama. (Aug. 4)[Notes:vo of sign reading "got Brett?"]If you're a Packer fan the answer is yes. [Notes:vo of fans in the parking lot]Dozens of Cheeseheads filled the Packers' parking lot Monday in hopes of seeing their hero, Brett Favre, return.SOT Mary JoWe're hoping to see him that's why we're here waiting to see him drive by and wave and welcome him back.Favre flew in to Green Bay Sunday after the N-F-L agreed to reinstate him Monday at noon.The team didn't practice Monday and Favre was nowhere to be seen.Still, he is expected to be on the field Tuesday and begin competing with Aaron Rodgers for the starting Q-B job. SOTI love Aaron Rodgers, but Brett is just so good. I'm looking forward to him coming back it's going to be great.While Favre wasn't in pads he was in the compound, meeting with team officials about the upcoming season.And while his role with the team may still be up in the air it's clear his standing with Green Bay fans remains strong. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

no he told the management to go to hell. has nothing to do with the fans.

Last time I checked the packers are the ones that made him go to New York. The packers could of been in the superbowl but no they wanted to trade one of their hall of fame players that has done everything for the packers. Really he didn't do crap to deserve what the packers did to him. Really we all change our minds. And when it comes down to something you love then why not let him change his mind. He doesn't know anything other then football and you can't blame him for being indecisive.

@stfcena Favre "retired" to punish TT for not doing what he was told - sign his linemen regardless of price, hiring Mariucci, and signing Randy Moss. Perhaps TT would have been more agreeable in doing some of things Favre wanted if Favre hadn't been so wishy-washy first. TT wasn't going to errand boy Favre's orders especially if Favre was just going to disappear. And when TT drafted 2 QB's it pissed Favre off and he wanted to come back, play for the Vikings, and "stick it" to TT.

Favre chokes even when the super bowl is in clear view. NFC title game 2008 and 2010. How much more proof do you need??  It's over, and he is extremely over-rated.

[stephaniejane81]

I say take a year off from being a Packers fan and be a Jets fan this season. I'm extremely torn, but my heart's just not in cheering for the Pack right now. I'm indifferent. The Packers management was terrible to Brett and lied about things and made him look stupid, it's hard to cheer for people like that...I love the players, can't stand the management.
