I root for Brett and really do hope he wins the Superbowl this year. What makes that harder to do, imo, isn't Brett Favre himself, but the fans that post Ted Thompson hatred coupled with BF love in commentary sections of the various GBP news sites (The Worst, as pretty unmoderated), and those that do so on a continuing basis in the moderated forums to a lesser degree.
Notice how I said, "coupled with". I have NO problems with those that SINCERELY root for both him, the Jets, and us. That is an entirely different animal, and I welcome and enjoy their input.
I also totally UNDERSTAND those harboring sincere resentment towards Favre, because the WHOLE fiasco has made it very difficult to remain a total Packer fan and carry on a decent conversation about it without some BF interjection. I say that the resentment is misplaced if directed at Brett, and say it should be directed to the CSAers (industry term), but that is just my own admittedly biased opinion.
In a true nuts and bolts sense, all Packer fans should be rooting for Bretty and the Jets. Right now our pick from them is a 3rd rounder, the 85th pick in the draft. If they win their division, that pick rises to (approximately) the 57th pick in the 2nd round, and if the Jets somehow make it to the Superbowl, it rises (obviously) to either the 31st or 32nd pick in the first round. An extra 1st round pick is something that anyone harboring a grudge can get over that grudge PDQ, IMO.
This post is my PURE OPINION, and is NOT intended to cause further friction and/or resentment by ANYONE. Even the most ARDENT FAVRE crotch-sniffing/TT hating fan is completely entitled to their point of view. I just ardently disagree with it.
