At this moment, it's hard for me to find the right words to convey my feelings about Brett Favre being a New York Jet or rather NOT a Green Bay Packer. I became a Packer fan growing up because of Brett Favre. My grandfather, who grew up and currently resides in Mississippi, always reminded us that Brett's a Mississippi boy. When he retired, I teared up a bit. It was an emotional speech he gave. When he unretired, I was a little confused. When Brett and the Packers management battled publicly, I just couldn't watch. I didn't want Brett to come back to another team. I didn't want to hate Brett Favre. I want to be a Packers fan, but Brett and the Packers have always been synonymous....until now. Now I have to stare at the picture above (that's the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg on the left) and try not to puke. These are the trials and tribulations of being a Packers fan nowadays.
