Fantasy basketball Anthony Edwards is soaring and shooting to new fantasy heights. Three things to watch at Bellator Cyborg's dominance, Pico's winning streak and the rise of Fortune. They could have wished him luck. Instead, they chose to ridicule and belittle him.
Packer fans made it quite clear their relationship with perhaps the greatest quarterback of all time was all about them. Funny, the way Packer fans have acted has really driven Favre to the Vikings.
In truth, he no longer owes the fans in Green Bay anything. Some good, some bad. I think the most memorable one was when Antonio Freeman caught a pass near the endzone and was never touched when down and got up, ran into the endzone, and won the game. The Vikings would get revenge in the divisional playoff, though. The first playoff matchup between the two franchises would see the Vikings pull off the upset, in large part due to star wide receiver Randy Moss.
Early in the fourth quarter, Moss caught his second touchdown pass of the game to take a lead and proceeded to walk over to the goal post and faked a mooning gesture to the Lambeau faithful. When Favre joined the Minnesota Vikings in , things became a lot more personal. Arguably the most legendary Packer was now playing for the rival and possibly winning them their first championship.

The man who overcame addiction to pain killers and alcohol, not to mention unspeakable and untimely loss in his family.
A man who played and often lived with reckless abandon, hoping for the best, was always both dazzling and maddeningly disappointing. That was who we saw since Brett showed up on Fox News airing his dirty laundry for the word to see. If anyone should have seen this kind of reckless, brazen, self-aggrandizement coupled with the, "Aww shucks," of a southern boy, it was Packer fans.
Minnesota fans got a taste of it in his miraculous season with them, ending on his infamous interception in the NFC Championship game.
No one has had their collective hearts broken by Brett Favre more than Packer fans. His continued antics and obvious refusal to move on—while, of course, insisting that he has—are Brett Favre, through and through. I take some solace in knowing that this team is set up for a long run with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. It's a relationship I feel good about. And Brett Favre, the man who made every Sunday the most incredible adventure I've ever had in sports, and who ripped my heart out more times than I'd care to mention, hasn't let it go.
In this case, we've moved on. And I'd be lying if I said it wasn't sweet to know that No. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox! Your sports.
