Favre Foundations merge, still help Wisconsin

Brett Favre may have left the state, but his foundation continues to help the people of Wisconsin.

The Favre Fourward Foundation, formed 13 years ago to help disadvantaged children in Wisconsin and Mississippi, recently merged with the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation that raises money to fight breast cancer.

Both are now part of the Favre #4 Hope Foundation, but will continue to donate to causes for children in Wisconsin and Mississippi.

Vast majority of Packers fans want to see Favre, Vikings go down in flames

 

Don Walker

Whether it's Karl on a car phone, or Debbie calling in from De Pere, Green Bay Packers' fans want Brett Favre and his Minnesota Vikings to lose this weekend, denying the Vikings the chance to go to the Super Bowl.

Steve (The Homer) True, sports-talk show host on WAUK-AM (540) certainly thinks so.

"If he was playing for the New York Jets, this would be entirely different," True said. "I just can't conceive the Vikings winning their first Super Bowl with Brett Favre.

"Just saying it sounds wrong."

He's right.

The rivalry between fans of the Packers and Vikings is real. And while the Vikings had the upper hand this year (they defeated the Packers twice), Packers fans can always say that the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl (they're 0-4).

True estimates that of the fans calling in to his show, the percentage breakdown is 90% want Favre to lose and 10% of them want Favre to go and win his second Super Bowl, cementing his status as one of the greatest players ever in the National Football League.

"It's real simple. If you are a Brett Favre fan, and nothing else matters, it's the only way you can root for him."

Bill Michaels, sports-talk show host on WTMJ-AM (620), said the majority of callers and e-mails coming to him "are hoping to see Favre go down in flames this weekend.

Minnesota Gophers recruit Brett Favre (from the MN Daily)

   

The University of Minnesota student newspaper, the Minnesota Daily, publishes a mock issue something like that of The Onion at the end of every semester. 

This time they took shots at the new golden boy of Minnesota, Brett Favre.

These articles do not appear on the MNDaily.com website, so we are posting the scanned copy, here.
The article was written by "Carl Gerbschmidt".

Our favorite quotes from the story:

"I think [my return is] great for football. I can't see how you wouldn't think it would be ... Do I want to beat the Badgers? That's the reason I came back."

and

"Favre's goal next year is to win Paul Bunyan's Axe from the Wisconsin Badgers."

Enjoy.
