Dear Mr. Favre...

Dear Mr. Favre,

It really bothered me when you defected to the Vikings, but not anymore. There is simply no question now that we're better off with Aaron, and will continue to be for quite a while. Feel free to stay in Minnesota as long as you like. It doesn't matter that you beat us twice. It doesn't matter that you won the division. Our GM made the right decision by not putting up with your crap any longer. We had a QB waiting in the wings who is at least as good as you are (psst...he's better). Sure, he lacks the experience you have, but now thanks to you he'll get it. The only down side to you leaving is that now, for the first time in my life, Minnesota has a real QB (and it's kinda cute to watch Vikings fans talk trash. They've been wanting to do it for so long). But we know that's going to change soon, don't we? And when it does, we'll go back to being the only team in our division with a quality QB - something we couldn't have said had you stuck around another year.

What I'm trying to say is, thank you for making our team better. When you finally do retire in year or so, and Minnesota is once again left without a QB, I'll thank you for making them worse (and incidentally, thanks for getting Childress that contract extension). The line you hear all the time, usually from ESPN, is, 'The NFL is a win now league' or 'You can't keep looking at the future of your team at the expense of this season' (something the Packers management apparently didn't do anyway), but the only people in the league who actually believe that are Jerry Jones and Al Davis...or should we throw Childress in there too? I quit believing it sometime after 1996. In the words of Ron Wolf, the man you owe your entire career to, if you only win one Super Bowl in 16 years, that season was 'a fart in the wind'.

You might think that I'm pissing on your 'legacy' - that I'm forgetting about all the glory years you gave us. My answer is, 'Nope. You already did that. You undid all of it when you signed with the Vikings.'

So stay there as long as you want. You don't mean much to us over here anymore. As for 'sticking it to Thompson'...you didn't do that. Or if you did, A-Rod undid it. You crapped on all the fans, sure. I hope that felt good. We obviously had it coming for supporting you all those years. But you're dead to us now. We just don't care. You were a king over here. You're nothing more than the Vikings quarterback now.

Have fun,

Greg
