From ESPN article:

" I awake, and my post-Halloween horror show begins. Vikings at Packers kicks off in about six hours. I'm a lifelong Packers fan, born and raised in Wisconsin, so this is the biggest game of the season. The 6-1 Vikings and the 4-2 Packers are the top two teams in the NFC North. Also, the game marks the return of a Packers legend to Lambeau Field.

That's right, folks: Ahman Green is back in a Green Bay uniform and active for today's grudge match.

Also, that Brett Favre guy, formerly of the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons, is playing his first game at Lambeau Field … as a visitor. In all seriousness, I'm unapologetically pro-Favre. I still love the Packers in my heart of hearts, but I wouldn't mind seeing them struggle until A. Favre retires for good, and B. the Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy puppet show in Green Bay ends. When Favre got forced out of Green Bay by those clowns, lines were drawn, and I chose to stand by my man. I became a Jets fan last season, arguing that Favre can retire/unretire/mow his lawn on whatever schedule he deems best. I may have been in the minority among faithful Packers backers, but many of them wanted to see Favre do well in his AFC East exile.

Of course, that all changed when Favre donned Vikings purple. No more sympathy for the future Hall of Famer. Friends and family members expected me to rise up with my fellow cheeseheads and turn on this seeming Benedict Arnold, but I refused, resolving to cheer for the hated Vikings so long as Brett was under center. I got the first laugh as Favre led the Vikes to a 30-23 win over the Pack at the Metrodome on "Monday Night Football" in Week 4. Afterward, although I admitted it to no one, I felt a little guilty.


What follows is my personal journal about my conflicting feelings as the great gunslinger made his first Lambeau appearance in enemy gear:"

The article goes on, but what a joke this guy is. Lifelong Packers fan cheering against the Packers. These people embarrass me.

He's a true Favre fan, NOT a true Packer fan.

I didn't read the column, but quite honestly I think it's a fictional account that ESPN created to keep the Favre/Packer storyline alive as long as possible.

It makes me uncomfortable knowing guys like this still wear Packer colors. Listen, if you've ever cheered for Minnesota, at any point in time, ever, then you're done. Get out. Leave. Go home. It's over for you.

Ps, not surprising this loser has a pet cat, the most disloyal of all house pets...

I wonder if he heard what Aikman said in the 4th quarter about Favre not wanting to come back to GB?

I wish we could collectively ban this guy from being a "Packer" fan

There are people out there who say they have followed the Packers before Favre and say because of what the team did to him they will suppport Favre untill he retires then come back to the Packers. I have told a couple of these people they have never been a true packer fan and that they are nothing but Favre homers and the true Packer fans don't want them ever rooting for the Packers again and that they can stay Vikings fans.
