GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre headed up the Lambeau Field tunnel, a path that he had walked dozens of times.

He turned left at the end, and then walked through a set of double doors. The Green Bay Packers' locker room was just down the hall on the right.

And that's when it finally it him. He was back at his football home.

"It was like I never left. It was a great feeling. It was kind of weird because I had been here for a couple of hours and just walked off of Lambeau," Favre said before the ceremony. "It's kind of funny how things are triggered. And then it was kind of a sigh of relief almost."

Brett who? :-) Aaron Rodgers is a superstar, thou even the experts said won’t break Brett’s GB records, because of Aaron’s 3 years learning from Brett. Brett should join the Bucs...he would be better than Winston. (Winston is better at shoplifting Seafood from Publix)

Heard of Brett Favre’s reactions during the ESPY’s of Caityn Jenner’s ‘courage’ award. He rolled his eyes and applauded with the enthusiasm of a man headed to the electric chair.

Maybe he deserves the award next year.

I’m a lifetime Packer fan, and I salute Favre’s unbelievable record.

But it’s all tainted by his strange and uncalled for behavior toward the Packer organization back in the day.

And he STILL hasn’t congratulated Aaron Rodgers for his SB victory, at least to my knowledge. Why the animosity?

I don’t care for ball at all but took the Lambeau tour a couple years ago for a break from EAA.

The history stuff was really interesting and the two guides were really good. I went to the railway museum down the way and really liked it too.

I live just south of GB and I watched Favre’s address to the 67,000 fans in Lambeau. Favre was a gentleman and the fans have forgiven his transgressions from the sounds of the four minute ovation they gave him.

I felt that way, too. Few women love football more than I do, and I’ve been MIGHTILY p*ssed at Brett for a long time now.

But, he was humble, mature and grateful for the honor.

All is forgiven. Well, pretty much, LOL!

I guess if all of you can be forgiving, I can too.

But it would help if Favre would congratulate Rodgers on his own spectacular play on the gridiron.

(A very big bone of contention with me)

Aaron is too classy to make an issue of it, but it’s got to hurt.

Yep. Like your big brother not giving you any credit.

Aaron is awesome. We are SO LUCKY to have him and so LUCKY that he stuck around this long. He seems like a genuinely nice person. SO much talent! :)
