NFL Hall of Famer and Packer legend Brett Favre has made plenty of big plays in Wisconsin, but the next time he appears before a raucous crowd in Green Bay, it’ll be for a bigger cause: Delivering the Badger State to Donald Trump.

The Trump campaign announced on Friday that when the former president appears in Green Bay at the Resch Center on Wednesday, Packers great Brett Favre will be a guest speaker.

Favre hurt his Green Bay legacy by engineering a move to the Vikings at the end. I hope he’s been forgiven.

They retired his number in 015 to honor him.

So the idea he has never been forgiven is just another wild liars conspiracy.

Dr. Sivana, I know from previous conversations with you that you are indeed a sports history expert. In the case of Farve, wasn’t it the Packers who wanted to get rid of Farve so they could get Aaron Rogers off the bench?

BTW. Farve was traded to the NY Jets in 08. He signed with the Vikings in 09.

So since There’s Something About Mary in 1998 in which they both starred, they have gone their separate ways.

He wanted to hang it up for health reasons two years prior.
But because of some people around him, they convinced him that he could play a few more years.
Because of his indecisive actions, the Packers had to make a choice. So the trade was made with the Jets.

In his interview with Megan Kelly a few months ago when she asked him if it was all worth it, he basically said no.
He’s has Parkinson now and walks around with the though of it may be his last day on earth because of his fear of cerebral hemorrhage or something from all the concussions he has suffered.

He is adamantly against tackle football for young kids up to a certain age and I get the feeling he is against it for even high school football. Maybe even college.

It’s not a sport any longer.
Take and search the average death age of some of the sports pro players.
It’s young. Lots of suicides, etc.

Brett Favre is a good man!

I hope that he can help Trump in Wisconsin and in other states!

I know. That's why I said he engineered a move to the Vikings. The Packers never would have agreed to trade him to the Vikings, so he took a year with the Jets so he could engineer the move after the trade.

Pretty much, but Favre didn't like the way the pushing him out. I personally believed hew wanted to get to the Vikings for revenge after a pit stop in NYC.

So you nitpick a guy who is an all time great for a situation fifteen plus years ago that doesn’t affect you in the least?

He was the iron man. He played fifteen years in Green Bay and won a Super Bowl. The guy is beloved by many in Green Bay. Some people are so hard to please it’s pathetic.

The super commie Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel started castigating Favre as soon as the appearance with Trump was announced. You are just like them.

No he didn’t. The Jets wanted him, just like they wanted Rodgers.
The Jets paid dearly for them.
The Jets are the worst run organization in football.

The Viking deal was pure money. Nothing else. And it dam near cost Farve his health.
As far as the packer fans holding a grudge. That’s pure bull shit and you know it.
