Brett Favre

[SethfromMI]

Brett Favre was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame tonight. He also had his number retired. He was the first player in Packer's history to have both happen in the same night. It is very likely he will go into the NFL Hall of Fame next year, since it will be his first year of eligibility to do so.

I am a huge Packers fan and although I was not alive for Favre's greatest years as a Packer, he really helped put the team back on the map after they only won one play off game between 1969-1993. He is my all time favorite athlete and is why I wanted to play football (though I am a running back). I was stoked to see him get inducted.

Many may not know after 16 seasons with the Packers, there was a messy departure. A lot of it was definitely his fault, but neither side did a good job.

After 7 years, it is like he never left. I realize this may only be important to me, but I was really happy watching it tonight and just figured I would share it. For love him, hate him ,or don't know him, he is one of the best QB's in NFL history. He gave so much to the Packers and it was good to see him come back home to be a part of the Packers family again

As a Jets fan, Brett Favre reminds me of sad times.

lol are you saying Favre was bad for the Jets or is reminding you of the current bad times. An injured Brett Favre who did not want to be there, has been the best QB you had in years.

When the Jets acquired Favre, they got rid of Chad Pennington (who of course wasn't nearly as good as Favre) and led to the Jets getting Mark Sanchez, and we know how that turned out.

lol well Favre did not want to go to the Jets. He of course wanted to go to the Vikings or the Bears straight out of Green Bay. the Packers were concerned he would beat the Packers (which Favre did both times his first year). Tampa was interested but they played the Packers that season (and beat the Packers without Favre). The Jets were a way to get rid of Favre and not have to play him. the Jets just was not where Favre wanted to go (no offense)

He was a Packer for so long, anyone who still felt ill feelings towards him after the break up is dumb. He is definitely going to the Hall of Fame.

Completely agree. I think any bad feelings which may have existed were healed once Favre finally retied for good. I think any true Packers fan are in love with him again. I never stopped being a Favre fan, but I was so happy to see him come home to Green Bay
