Packers fans compare Brett Favre to Fredo, Judas, Benedict Arnold By Chris Chase Brett Favre(notes) was welcomed back to Green Bay today with open arms … which were then used to figuratively smack him upside the head. The Packers legend was roundly booed by fans in his first return to Lambeau Field since the acrimonious split he had with the team (and its fans) last year. While some in the crowd politely applauded Favre when he came out for warm-ups, went to midfield for the coin toss and took his first snaps from under center, the vast majority of fans showered Favre with boos. This only continued, as Favre and his new team, the Minnesota Vikings, jumped out to a 24-3 early in the third quarter. Among the best anti-Favre items seen at the game were the Fedro-Favre sign (at right), a t-shirts with “True Legends Don’t Wear Purple” written in green, a poster that said “We’ll Never Forget You, Brent” and a banner flying behind a plane reading “Retire 4 Good”. Some fans were conflicted about the return. One told the Associated Press that he was a diehard Packers fan, but wanted Favre to do well. More seemed to be of the thinking that Favre was a traitor (“personally I’m booing while I’m crying”). But other Green Bay fans were being more level-headed about the return: “It’s like going into church on Sunday and the priest says, `Everybody go home, Jesus has now sided with the devil,”’ [Packers fan Mark Fields, who was wearing a Favre jersey with “JUDAS” written on the back] said. As long as we’re keeping things in perspective, I guess.
