It is a dark time for the Packers, although Brett Favre retired in March, Roger Goodell reinstated Favre allowing him to return to Packers Training Camp.
Although their plan to have Favre stay home and pay him $25 million dollars failed, many of the Packers are being led by Aaron Rodgers into the frozen tundras of Lambeau Field
The future hall-of-famer Favre, obcessed with the fact that his glory days may not be over, has come to training camp hoping that he can be starting quarterback, has recieved the backing of the thousands of cheeseheads who believe he can take them into the far reaches of the playoffs once again.

Yesterday was R-Day in Green Bay thousands of fans took to the streets welcoming Brett back to the team, but not everbody was happy. Many believe that the Packers organization will still trade Favre to the Vikings perhaps after they meet in Week 1 of the regular season. But as of right now its Favre vs. Rodgers in a “fair” competition.
FAIR COMPETITION????
Excuse me but fair usually isn’t Muhammed Ali vs. Joe Schmo or The Dream Team vs any team they ever played against. There is no way in Green Bay that a quarterback competition can be fair between Favre and Rodgers. The pure fact of the matter is that Brett Favre is either the Packers starter or the Vikings Starter. If by some miracle Brett doesn’t get the job expect a riot in Green Bay.
Unlike Green Bay, it seems that the rest of America(including the Packers locker room) is split on this topic between two schools of thought.
The School of Brett Stays and The School of Brett Goes
The Brett Stayers believe that the Packers need to dwell in the past and keep this old quarterback that may have one good year left in him. “After all Aaron Rodgers sucks because in the 7 games he’s partially played he’s only thrown one touchdown pass and even though Coach guarenteed him the starting job that doesn’t mean anything when you got Brett on the sidelines.”
The Brett Goers believe that the Packers need to look to the future of their franchise and get rid of this old quarterback that may have one good year left in him. “After all Aaron Rodgers threw one touchdown pass in the 7 games he’s partially played. Also, Coach guarenteed him the starting job and us Minnesotans are men of our word.”
The truth is, the Packers are gonna be a dissapointment this year with or without Favre this controversy has split the locker room and I don’t expect them to play as a team. They will do okay in a shallow NFC North, but the Vikings have the division in their hands already, but that doesn’t mean they will get past the first round of the playoffs.
