Tonight (Saturday), the Green Bay Packers are hosting a celebration at Lambeau Field to induct Brett Favre into their Hall of Fame and retire his #4.
For me, this celebration has brought back memories of Favre’s time as a Minnesota Viking, particularly the 2009 season in which he played his best season as a pro (at the age of 39…THIRTY-NINE).
Brett Favre single-handedly made the Vikings one of the best teams in the NFL while also getting the Vikings a ton of national media coverage during the season. He was the most polarizing figure in sports at the time and it was cool for the Vikings to be at the center of it all.
