No. Way. In. Hell. If I were in the stands Sunday afternoon, I'd stand up in silence and turn my back to him. I'll look kinda silly doing that here in my living room, but that's the greeting he deserves. I agree that someday his name will be uttered in Packerland without the scowl....but it'll take a long time for people to forget the last few years. And I wonder....is the Journal Sentinel's Garry Howard a native Wisconsinite? Or a transplant who really doesn't understand Wisconsin football? Cheer for Favre when he returns to Lambeau? No. Way.

Looking ahead to the second half of the season, this game will have significant playoff implications. With San Francisco and Arizona playing well in the West, Atlanta and New Orleans playing well in the South, and the Giants, Dallas, and Philly looking strong in the East, there appear to be 9 strong teams vying for 6 NFC playoff spots. Wins within the division and conference are very important. The real story is the 6-1 Vikings v. the 4-2 Packers.
