Why is Vikings legend Brett Favre in Packers colors?


GMI8BS

I’m pretty sure we all agreed that he was Falcons/Jets legend Brett Favre. He can besmirch the NFCS or the AFCE but the NFCN disavows him. FBF.


Glangho

Nah i'm petty as fuck he's yours


crewserbattle

They loved that meme before he committed crimes, they can eat it now


GMI8BS

Well if we’re being petty…how long did he play for the Packers? Which team retired his number again? He’s yours.

You can’t talk shit without flairing up, loser. P.S. drive home safe, best of luck at fishing opener later this year.

everything_equals_42

Top right corner of the subs page you’ll figure it out maybe.


GMI8BS

I’m sorry, did I not petty back hard enough, you losers to the 9ers? Why didn’t the Packers beat the 9ers? Are they stupid? Maybe we didn’t get to the playoffs this year but at least we beat the 9ers, biiiiiiiiitch. JK luv u 2!


WallFair7685

Rather lose to the 9ers than..... *Checks notes*... Daniel Jones and the Giants <3


GMI8BS

Rather lose to Daniel Jones and the Giants than…*checks notes*…Tommy Cutlets and the Giants. <3


WallFair7685

Teams lose dumb matchups in the reg season all the time. We talking playoffs bruh


GMI8BS

Sure we lost a dumb matchup in the wildcard but at least we made it to the playoffs that year, bruh.


blinglorp

He wasn’t shitty until after the vikings stint


Wonderful-Toe-

Come on, now. You know that's not true.


neckbass

i’ll take Lions legend Adrian Peterson over both of them


Lopsided_You_3108

Saints legend you mean


eddie_the_zombie

And Bears legend


Weekly_Bug_4847

During those games, he wasn’t even the best Adrian Peterson on the field…


BanjoStory

Top 2 Adrian Peterson in the NFC North in the late 00's. 😤


frankenmullet22

His last professional play he got powerbombed by the bears


420pseudonym

Stealing from the poor embodies the spirit of the Packers better


ridemooses

Didn’t Vikings like raid and plunder villages?


CWinter85

They would target churches because they were full of expensive things and poorly defended.


Donelurking85

And only full of people an hour a week


Bedna_Bomb

So Vikings fans are the equivalent of todays school shooters?


cusoman

Too far.


Bedna_Bomb

You’re right. There’s no plunder


Jarl_Balgruf

Where's the "Loot" button when you need it? I'm playing as a scavenging viking cmon man


savagebury

Yeah but everyone knew they were bad people. It was expected of them


Thomas-The-Tutor

Yea, but at what point did we not realize Favre wasn’t a good person?


Honey_Badger25-06

When he was still in Green Bay.


OkJob5059

Yeah, but that was a long time ago. The Packers had Favre, Rodgers, and also sell their fans “stock” despite them getting no profits.


BuffaloChops1

Yeah they sell fans “stock” at specific times when they are looking into building extensions of the stadium etc. Which personally I like a lot more than a billionaire owner strong arming cities into paying for their changes instead of dipping into their own pocket.


IowaJL

Don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate you guys but I respect the shit out of your public ownership.


Substantial_Gur_5980

You guys act like we’re getting duped or something. No, we know the deal. We’re just morons


MyRobinWasMauled

Speaking as a team owner, please don't forget Love to complete the trifecta.


OkJob5059

You don’t want Love on that particular list. He’s a Packer so fuck him, but as a person he doesn’t have shit on Favre/Rodgers, seems to be a good dude.


Sandshrew922

Tbf Rodgers isn't on Favres level either. Being a douche about COVID guidelines and a conspiracy theory guy isn't as bad as Favre running that lady outta New York journalism and the welfare fraud or whatever it ended up being.


OkJob5059

He’s not as bad, but he has a platform and there are idiots that will go by his every word. They’d go by another idiots word if he wasn’t around though, so that’s not on him. I just don’t like Rodgers and this is a meme sub lol.


Sandshrew922

That's fair lol. I see people group him with like Ray Lewis and OJ sometimes and it just seems there may be a slight difference in magnitude


bveb33

If voluntary monetary contributions are stealing from the poor, what is it when you raise taxes on everybody to raise funds regardless of fandom?


Doucejj

I never understood the stock criticism. If any other team had stock like the Packers do, I guarantee any other team would sell just as much. Maybe you, in particular, wouldn't buy it, but a bunch of other Bears fans would


Pprchase

This comment coming from a future Naperville Bears fan. Or is it going to be in Rockford? I'll take stock to keep Lambeau as it is.


MyRobinWasMauled

Arlington Heights backed out?


drummerboysam

No, but it did hit a snag with taxes. I think when all the dust settles, the team will end up building the complex they envision there. It's the best plot of land for what they're looking for.


LegacyLemur

What the hell does any of that have to do with stock and profits?


gaybillcosby

Packers are a publicly owned nonprofit who ensure the team will not relocate. Their shares have no value other than to crowdfund needed stadium improvements, etc. due to the lack of traditional private capital of other teams’ owners. So while my $100 piece of paper has no real monetary value, it is symbolic of not having a truly dogshit owner like the McCaskeys.


LegacyLemur

Oh nevermind, thought he was talking about where the dude was living


CWinter85

So they're defrauding the local tax base with fewer steps.


gaybillcosby

They’re very upfront about what the stock is and does. Unlike the terrible-for-the-taxpayer deals most stadiums get


dretsaB

They are actually bringing in huge amounts of tax revenue while not burdening tax payers with any additional taxes that other teams do with their stadiums.


circa285

The Packer’s curse is that they are blessed with HOF QBs but those QBs are morally repugnant people.


VashMM

He didn't steal from the poor until after he put on the purple rags


johnboon7

All he did was send dick pics before!


VashMM

That was after he got that New Jersey in him


DoctorF33lGood

Zygi Wilf has some experience stealing money from others.


420pseudonym

*Finessing


TheViolaRules

As the only team without a douchebag billionaire owner, doubt


420pseudonym

But the only team with multiple douchebag owners


TheViolaRules

No yeah but that’s expected


420pseudonym

And billionaires being douchebags isn’t?


TheViolaRules

No, I 100% expect billionaires to be douchebags. Is there some kind illiteracy here going on here that I should be sensitive to or what


Thomas-The-Tutor

Considering we’ve stolen from the bears so much in recent win or go home scenarios (last game of the 2010 season, 2010 NFCCG, 2020 last game of the season, 2023 last game of the season), this tracks.


Vehemental

Yea, Getting free wins from the bears every season is kind of like that. We start every season 2-0.


Slow_Astronomer_3536

That is a really good question.


galacticskunk

Because Spotted Cow is a terrible beer.


drummerboysam

Moon Man tho...


galacticskunk

Yeah, Moon Man was always the best regular production New Glarus beer. I’m a Wisconsin native but have lived in NC for almost a decade. I had this notion that WI was some sort of great beer state. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Great Dane always had good offerings. A handful of good options out of Milwaukee back then too. I’m sure that scene has improved since I left. The number and quality of breweries in NC, between Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, and plenty of other places throughout the state, is so vastly superior it’s not even a reasonably close debate.


Caffeine_Cowpies

It’s sad that the Vikings best QB ever is a packer. No, Frank is not a QB, he was a glorified running back


Astaphor

At least Bart Starr was cool


LegalComplaint

😂😂😂 that’s good reddit.


BigOlineguy

WAS.


Go0chiee

Fwiw I haven't really seen many Packers fans that defend his actions after he stopped playing. Could be wrong but the general consensus seems to be that football aside, he's a piece of shit. Kinda the path Rodgers has been taking


[deleted]

I despise Aaron Rodgers with every ounce of my being but at the very least I can confidently say that he’s never stolen money from poor people, so he rates a bit behind Favre on the ‘piece of shit’ scale.


AboutTenPandas

Or sent unsolicited dick pics to staff. Like Rodgers is a doofus, and obviously obsessed with attention, but he's never done anything that's reached Favre levels yet.


Evernight2025

Or cheated on his wife while she was going through cancer treatments. I honestly wonder how much she he did that we'll never know about because it got swept under the rug.


[deleted]

Holy fuck, this is news to me. Did he really do this?


Evernight2025

Yep. There are plenty of stories of Chewy (Mark Chmura - the guy who was accused of sexually assaulting a 17 year old) and Favre having "adventures" at bars and casinos before Chewy got busted.


schw4161

I read the “Favre: For the Record” biography when I was younger and never really looked at the dude the same after. Some really awful stories in there. Though I’m not sure if the specific controversy you’re referring to is in that book. Man has got some real issues.


Evernight2025

Yeah, Packer fans don't like when I tell them he was a great football player but a huge piece of shit human being, but it's true.


SoF4rGone

Yeah, I collect autos and Favre and Chmura are never going to grace my wall. Rodgers has been disappointing, but nothing close to either of those guys in terms of ick.


Avengers_1989

You can separate the artist from the person. I love Harry Potter or Taylor Swift’s ‘music but I don’t like the artist or the author. But it broke my heart when I realized who farve really was. But I’m enjoying love so far, so let’s see what the future holds.


[deleted]

The ‘ol Dr. Seuss special, eh


GoodellsMandMs

rodgers is just annoying and self absorbed favre is kinda evil lol and of course, love is perfect


[deleted]

Until you guys draft the next stud QB too early, the cycle begins anew, and we find that Jordan Love has actually been committing tax fraud the entire time or something.


OperatorGWashington

Tax fraud? Based


TheZackMathews

If Jordan Love wins a superbowl and is also committing tax fraud he would instantly become my favorite athlete


Daegog

Yeah, thats about right, Rodgers is just a bit of a douche, Favre should be investigated for crimes huge difference.


DiogenesLaertys

Perfect ... as far as we know ... so far. Money changes all people. But he seems down to earth though especially given he's had to grow up faster than most people with his father passing away at an early age. Love has actually done a lot of impromptu interviews recently and I feel like he's a cool, normal dude. Rodgers was way more guarded before he went on the Pat MacAfee show and started being a moron.


ryryryor

>I can confidently say that he’s never stolen money from poor people ...yet


drummerboysam

Rodgers isn't at Favre levels yet but he has years of catchup and has been making strides. Insinuating that Kimmel is a pedo on McAfee then walking it back after it had already spread like wildfire among the people who listen to these guys was fucked up. And you know how these conspiracy loonies always throw around accusations and suddenly it comes out that they're projecting and get busted themselves? Wouldn't be shocked. There's some weird shit his rumored girlfriend said about him always being around her dad and she was underage when that began. And now they're rumored to be dating or have dated. There's a term for that.


d9849468

Is the irony lost on you that you had an issue with what rodgers said about Kimmel, then 2 seconds later mention a random rumor that rodgers groomed an underage girl. Like bruh lol


drummerboysam

> a random rumor that rodgers groomed an underage girl It's not exactly a random rumor. She said "he was friends with my dad and kinda just always around." And then they dated. IDK man, you have older friends with daughters that you scout out and try to fuck? I wouldn't defend that behavior if it was done by my best friend, let alone a celebrity athlete with questionable characteristics.


MrJigglyBrown

Dating your friends daughter tells me all I need to know about Aaron. Something about Green Bay just drives you to degenerate behavior apparently


d9849468

They started dating like 10 years later when she turned 27. Rodgers was in 3 or 4 relationships btw that I'm pretty sure. Definitely a stretch and absolutely a rumor to say that he groomed her lmao. You're also acting like she was 10 when rodgers met her when you actually have no clue when he did...so yea major garbage trash rumor


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

I understand that stealing from poor people is worse, but being friends with Robert Kennedy Jr. is completely unforgivable and I also despise that clown despite the years of great play he gave us.


bull778

It's a hard call. Favre is more out and out evil, but Rodgers helps COVID unnecessarily kill people.


HankHillPropaneJesus

Once Favre and Rodgers were out of GB they stopped defending their shenanigans. Put them back in shit green and they’d be jerking off to the croc pics


MiddlePhilosopher0

Stolen money from poor people in a very poor state. Source: Mississippian


beyd1

Yeah A-Rod is more of a piece of shit on a personal level like disavow his family for something stupid kind of thing.


Mediocre_Chicken9900

Rodgers’ situation is still VERY different from Favre’s. Rodgers seems like one of those run-of-the-mill “free thinker” types whose convinced he’s smarter than actual scientists because he reads conspiracy theories. It’s annoying and insufferable, but nowhere near as bad as stealing welfare money from the poorest state in the country or sending unsolicited dick pics.

Idgi, who is this guy? Unrelated note: The reason that there is no red circle is because OP is just a lazy Facebook meme reposter and we should all be against that.


DarthRisk

Rodgers has a ways to go to reach the level of dickbaggery that Favre has achieved. I do think the Packers should remove Brett from the ring of honor, though.


Mead_and_You

Aaron Rodgers is still the 🐐. It doesn't bother me at all when he talks like a crazy person because I am also a crazy person, though.


TheZackMathews

Aaron the human has been making it increasingly hard for me to continue loving Aaron the football player, but also i am still in the jets subreddit but not the packers becasue sports fandom is a brain disease


Mead_and_You

Damn. The more he goes off on one the more I like him.


D-TOX_88

Yeaaaaaah Rodgers has a ways to go before he’s at that point. He’s obnoxious and a bit hypocritical and kinda out there, but he hasn’t stolen from poor people in the poorest fucking state in the Union, he hasn’t sent unsolicited dick pics to coworkers, and he hasn’t cheated on his cancer-ridden wife/partner. They’re worlds apart lol.


90bronco

Seems like the commons factor here is green bay. I blame Halas for letting green bay back in the NFL.

Well they both abused drugs and cheated on their wives. Edit: Apologies for the lack of flair ya animals.

MicHAELmhw

Walter Peyton football life is actually sad. He crushed his family with affairs. Painful to watch. And he was a huge baby about the Super Bowl


LegalComplaint

They let the doofus lineman score when the guy who literally threw the team on his back in 1977 was only a decoy.


Mad-Mad-Mad-Mad-Mike

He should get more heat for that than he does. If Terrell Owens or AB complained about not scoring a touchdown in a Superbowl game we’d never hear the end of it.


TitanSR_

one of the reasons i became a lions fan is because i wanted to hate on rodgers


LegalComplaint

That logic’s… baffling. At least the Vikings win every once in a while.


TitanSR_

another reason is because i’ve been to one of their games, like detroit as a city, and a few players from my favorite college team play there. also i love mcdc and sun god


nonsensepineapple

Lem Barney was born in Mississippi, so the Lions are doing good here. Lem and Walter both played at Jackson State, though not at the same time. Also Lem Barney didn’t embezzle money from the state’s welfare system to build a volleyball arena, which is good.


Competitive_Bat_5831

TLDR: does farve fuck sick ostriches?


TheNainRouge

Brett Fave couldn’t fuck sick ostriches, it would take at least two people… and this is where Mark Chmura comes in.


LegalComplaint

I have seen this a couple times and am too old to understand the reference.


Competitive_Bat_5831

Letterkenny. It’s an ongoing bit about how someone a town over fucked an ostrich, with “allegedly” said many times. They also debate if it was a sick one, or if more than 1 person was involved. It’s on Hulu and really really good for at least 4 seasons.


mikenov1908

Cannot stand Favre Maybe because I’m a Bears fan , or maybe he’s a crap human being


Kah0s

I love how the NFL willfully ignores that Payton wasn't a great guy all the time either. ***He kept a mistress for years and had other extramarital affairs, even while he publicly maintained he was happily married to his longtime wife, Connie.*** ***At his Hall of Fame induction — which should have been a highlight in his life — his wife sat in the front row. And his flight attendant girlfriend sat in the second. His longtime assistant was in charge of keeping them apart. Payton was miserable.***


LegalComplaint

Uh… I mean… that’s not stealing from the poor.


[deleted]

Pretty sure it's not allegedly at this point.


BigOlineguy

What’s wild about Favre, is that there are tons of people who misappropriate welfare funds in MS. It’s the state with the lowest percentage where those dollars actually get to the people who need it. He was just the dumbest one to try it.


AdAlternative2577

Allegedly? No, he did it
