Leroy Butler, as always, is right. We want Favre to play.

I live in Minnesota. Its awful. The same mewling and pucking retards who told me for 15 years that Favre was overrated are now wearing purple and pink #4 jerseys. I’m not kidding. To celebrate a team that has Adrian Peterson and Antoine Winfield, these idiots are wearing Favre jerseys. I did expect more, but that is my fault. The Onion was spot on: “Vikings fans are pretty much ignorant, petulant bandwagoners.”

This game is absolutely a must win. Remember when we couldn’t beat the Cowboys? Remember the 1995 NFC championship game? Remember losing to Mike Holmgren? All of these together do not add up to the importance of this. Packer nation, this is a nation builder. I turn to the words of our great statesman Abraham Lincoln to buck up the troops. His unequaled eloquence is appropriate for this occasion (my changes in parenthesis).

“ (Coach McCarthy)
And once more let me tell you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I am powerless to help this. You will do me the justice to remember I always insisted, that going down (to Green) Bay in search of a field, instead of fighting at or near M(inneapolis), was only shifting, and not surmounting, a difficulty -- that we would find the same enemy, and the same, or equal, intrenchments, at either place. (Wisconsin) will not fail to note -- is now noting -- that the present hesitation to move upon an entrenched enemy, is but the story of (last season) repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never written you, or spoken to you, in greater kindness of feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far as in my most anxious judgment, I consistently can. But you must act.
Yours very truly (A Packer Fan)”
