[QUOTE="jkrelt, post: 247845, member: 1696"] I believe it was Batman who said, "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain." The "Purple Favre Situation" is complicated for any cheesehead. Lets lay down some ground rules: 1. Despite what team Favre plays for this year (or in the years to come), despite what he may say or what he may do, it will always be okay to wear a Favre Packer jersey. Regardless of what will happen with Favre's legacy, the green and gold #4 epitomizes the Super Bowl XXXI era. 2. We should keep up with Favre stats, records, highlights, etc, however, under no circumstances shall we buy, and/or wear, a Purple Favre jersey. There may be some sticky situtations...For instance, posters which illustrate Favre playing for the Pack, Jets, and Vikings. These are considered couth so long as favre as a Packer is highlighted. 3. Lets say, God forbid, that the Packers do not enter the playoffs, but the vikes do (under the helm of Favre), then it is okay to cheer on the Vikings. HOWEVER, this cheering must NOT be done with Vikings fans. This cheering must be done in solitude; preferably in a basement or other secrete location, if done at all. 4. As Terrell Owens would say "thats my quarterback." If Brett and Rodgers both have a statistically equal season, and are both in the running for league MVP, we vote for Rodgers. He is not only a Packer, he's our quarterback. 5. Friends don't let friends cheer for the Vikings. Unless of course there is something in it for GB, such as having the vikes beat the bears leading to Packer divisional supremisy. . 6. Packer loyalty trumps Favre loyality. Emotions will fly with this rule, especially considering the way Favre was treated by Teddy. Furthermore, arguments could be made that Favre created the Packers as we now know them today. However, as a third generation Packer fan, I don't want to tell future cheeseheads that people jumped ship and became Viking fans because 39 year old Favre wanted one more shot. We need to stay the course. Which leads to rule number 7... 7. When the Pack play the Vikings, we cheer for the Packers to win, but for Favre to have a decent game. This is nothing against our defense. We always want them to do well. However, rule number 7 is a compromise between maintaing loyality between both the Packers and Favre. We should not necessarily cheer against Favre; even as the leader of our bitter rival. If you feel the need to boo #4, this is acceptable in any stadium except Lambeau Field; consider instead the silent treatment. 8. We must remember that Favre's legacy is his to do with however he pleases. 9. No matter the odds, we should never count Favre out. Two years? Two more teams? I hope not. But then again, Steve Deberg, Vinny Testaverde, and Warren Moon were all starting QBs at the age of 44. Go Pack! -J. Krelt [/QUOTE]
