What color underwear was Favre wearing?!?!
Just a lot of nothing to make a big deal about.
You KNOW that there are some that were just LOOKING for something to go "LOOK!!!look at the TRAITOR!!"
If you look for trouble you will find it.

While it is true that if you seek trouble, it is what you will find, this is absolutely nothing to do with that. I was going to do a write up on the positives of what I witnessed and when I observed the wardrobe I couldn't believe the shirt was purple.
So I must ask this. What hurt the fans of the Packers the most? Was it that he retired? Was it that he came back? Was it that he played for the Jets? No, it was that he WANTED to play for the Vikings (or Bears), the bitter rival of the Packers. That is what hurt the fans the most and he's sporting their color at his Packer Hall of Fame induction?
Fans hurt by Brett playing for the Vikings really need to understand that the Vikings were the best team in the NFL that needed only a QB to be Super Bowl contenders. Brett also wanted to play for the Bears, who also had a very good defense, the best special teams and you add a Brett Favre and instantly they are contenders too.
Did sporting a purple hue shirt make any fans turn on Brett? No, not a chance. Did the shirt choice make some lean the other way who were on the fence of forgiveness? Perhaps, although, I doubt it.
If you like Brett, you couldn't care less if he came out in purple and yellow crocs.
If you hate Brett he could have came out and said the worst two years of his life were being a Vikings fan and started singing THE BEARS STILL SUCK and you know what, those fans would still hate Brett.
So, is it a big deal? Nope, but since you went off the deep end, I figured I would counter with some more observational material sprinkled with facts. [giddity]
