I live in Minneapolis, so I end up hearing a lot about the whole "Purple Favre Situation." Most all Vikqueens fans are really excited to have Brett as a QB. Of course, the relished in all of Favre's misfortunes as a Packer and a Jet...now they seemed to have forgot about all that. You hear a lot of Vikings fans say "....I've always hated the Packers...but I've respected Favre as a player."
Listen, if Viking fans want to cheer on their new quarterback, I have no problem with that at all. I just want the viking fans to be honest about the past and recognize that they've hated Favre's guts for almost two decades.
I would have so much more respect for any Viking fan who simply stated "Yeah, I admit it...I hated Favre for a long time. But now that he's the quarterback of the Vikings, I'm going to just swallow my pride, forget about the past, and look forward to the next two seasons."
All I know is....if I hear any viking fan give A-Rod a hard time, I'll tell them to be careful what they say, you never know who will be taking snaps for the Vikings in 2025.
