    The Gunslinger will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame tomorrow.. any favorite highlights? Maybe you giants fans want to reminisce about that OT interception in 2008 that took you guys to the SB.. Good or bad, let's see what you got.

    When he retired and unretired 15 times like a drama queen. That's what I'll remember him for.

    Also when he threw up a pick in overtime after 4th and 26

    Loved watching Favre play. Probably my all-time favorite NFL player. His best moment was probably when he lit up the Raiders after his dad died. His biggest mistake imo was in the 2009 NFC Championship game when he threw that ugly pick against the Saints. Threw it across the body into traffic, while in field goal range, with 5-10 yards of running room infront of him. Bothers me to this day. Probably cost him a second ring.

    i like him more than rodgers. (and it has nothing to do with how far he got the vikings) aaron rodgers will probably end up being the better QB.......but favre, to me, was way more fun to watch.

    My thoughts exactly. Rodgers is already a better overall QB than Favre ever was. But Favre loved playing the game so much and was so competitive. It was like watching a little kid running around out there trying to take on the NFL.

    Can't post in a Favre thread w/o dropping this little gem.



    I was more of an Elway guy, but I liked Favre despite him and the Pack bundling the Pats in 97.

    Lol I knew someone would bring that up.

    I watched his jersey retirement ceremony lastnight. It was great. Huge ovation. He deserved it.

    I'll never forgive Farve for that OT interception vs the Giants in the NFC Championship game.

    The Saints NFC Championship INT was worse. But yea that Giants one was a lame duck (last pass he ever threw as a Packer too). I remember it was so cold out in that game you could just see the snots pouring out of his nose and freezing onto his face.

    Favre from 94-97 was incredible...

    But, overall? Overrated af.

    Could always rely on Favre to throw an interception in crunch time.

    In hindsight, I wish he wouldn't have thrown that interception against the Giants, so we could've stomped out the Packers and went 19-0.

    f--- you Favre.
