I can buy the "love of football" thing

I'm only 46, but to this day I can still remember hanging up the skates and putting my beloved hockey stick in the basement for the last time. When you grow up with something you love, something that just becomes a regular part of your life and then you have to give it up because you just can't play like you used to, it's one of the toughest things to do. I, like many of you, have hated Favre for the past umpteen years as he played quarterback for that "Green Bay team", and as a Packer we just learned to hate him as we do ALL Packer players; it's what we do as Viking's fans. But he's no longer a Packer!!! In fact, he seems to have adopted some of his own "hatred" for the green and gold, and that, my friends, will be enough for me to show a little respect for the man. Fine, we've hated him for years now, but now he seems to want to come to our side of the ball. He wants to BEAT the Packers now, just like we've always wanted to do. Can anyone here think of anything sweeter than winning our first Superbowl with THEIR "glory be to all" ex-quarterback??????? Me either! To you guys that are hating Favre for having been a Packer: GET OVER IT! Support the guy when he signs with us, as he's our best chance of making a run to the "big game". Again, I've never been a Favre fan, but I'm a Viking's fan, and if he's wearing OUR colors, then he's a Viking, and that then makes me a Favre fan. How long has it been since we've had a REAL QB on the roster?!?!?!?!?! Look at our freakin' team right now, are they not poised to go all the way this year???? The missing link, for years now, has been at the QB position, and now we have a chance to put a future hall of famer back there. I'm going to support Favre if/when he becomes a Viking, but I'll still have to show a little attitude, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get a custom jersey made (number 4, of course), but instead of "Favre", I'm going to put another name on it, but I need your help. Here's a poll of some ideas for custom names in place of "Favre". Let me know which ones you like, and if you have better ideas, please feel free to share. Thanks guys, and SKOL VIKINGS!!! Jake

i second that theory, it still would technically be JDB’s number, even if favre returns

until JDB gets cut
because the Vikings don’t want to keep 4 QBs

I’d have to put the correct pronunciation of his name on there. And us Viking fans know what that is……..Fahh Vruhh.
"Skol pa fiskande"

"Enlightenment" is longer than "Houshmanzada"
and would indicate Brett acquired wisdom with age, realizing purple is a much better color and that royalty have been wearing it for centuries.
On the other hand, they always say if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him. Could happen at Lambeau.
Okay, forget about it. How about Gillan. That’ll go right over their heads.

Who says that? I wouldn’t kill Buddha. Favre probably, but never Buddha.
In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

glad to see the detested ‘gunslinger’ has dropped to second atm

Keep in mind
I’m not looking for a name to flatter Farve, I’m looking for a name that will spite the packer’s fans when they see it. Got it?
I can’t wait to wear that jersey here in Wisconsin so that I can hear all the whining! THAT is why I want something other than Farve on the jersey; I don’t want to appear as a fan of Farve, but as a Viking’s fan with an attitude! lol

Just tell them that while we call him, ‘Favre’, they have permission to call him, ‘Daddy’ :)

By the way...
I’m SO glad that FUGB is winning!
