Here’s a fun softball question for this slow news period: Who was your first favorite Green Bay Packers player? My answer is pretty basic, and I expect a decent number of you to have the same: Brett Favre.
Unlike some of you, I didn’t grow up in the state of Wisconsin. I’m an Oregonian, and we obviously don’t have a pro football team (and I don’t feel like rooting for Seattle sports when we’re rivals). The way I became a Packers fan was my dad buying me a Favre jersey to troll my grandma (his mother-in-law), who was a Denver Broncos fan, when she visited us leading up to the Broncos-Packers Super Bowl.

It just sort of stuck. One of the first games I actually remember is Favre playing against the Raiders after his pops passed. Obviously, his style of play was fun to root for as a kid.
Who was your guy, though? Let us know in the comments section.
