To HammerNH, I believe it was (is) the Amish and the Mennonites who shunned, not the Pilgrims. To the rest of you who have expressed fickle feelings regarding Brett Favre, quoting Shakespeare, in Sonnet 116, “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark, that looks on tempests and is never shaken. . .Love’s not Time’s fool. . Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom. . .” I wish Favre still played for Green Bay, but he doesn’t; he is still my favorite QB of all time, he will always be #4 in green and gold, regardless of the color uniforms his teammates are wearing, and he has earned my love and admiration and respect over the past 16 years for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the love and exuberation for the game which he demonstrates wherever and whenever he plays.

I am a native of New England who has been a die hard Packers fan since 1964.
I have made the ‘pilgrimage’ to Lambeau for 3 games & 1 shareholders meeting. Been there with my best friend (1990), my son (2000) & my daughter (2004).
This year my wife decided she wanted to go.
So we looked at the calendar & picked a game the day the schedule came out – well before #4 was released by the Jets.
Yep – Nov 1st vs the viQueens.
I rooted for (and made excuses for) #4 for his 16 years as a Packer. Lots of great memories there.
So I cannot boo him.
However, he has clearly turned his back on me and all Packers fans.
So when he enters Lambeau in that fairy white & purple jersey, I will stand and turn my back.
The Pilgrims called this ’shunning’ and is the most appropriate response to this horrible thing #4 is doing.
Packer fans should all do this – return the insult with your back turned.
