Favre's Return to Lambeau! (Vikings vs. Packers 2009, Week 8) 

You gotta appreciate it. Not many announcers let people take the moment in. Like a revenge game or a return game.

I don't give a damn what people say, Thom Brenneman is one of the best to ever do it.

Packers fans are perhaps the biggest babies in all of sports. Nobody makes more excuses.

Packers fans with no class after all those years farve gave them

it was awesome I was there I wore my Jared Allen jersey they reminded me they hated Jared Allen.

I was only 4 years old when this was aired... now I'm a sophomore

I was 5

@Ryan Irwin- Diehl I don't care if you care, but I have a right to reply to a comment. Have a good day

Me too😳

@@HaydenSkol OMG.. lol. I really feel old.

So were the packers

That Vikings team was scary as hell. They were on par with the '98 team.

@@cyrillesu that adrian Peterson is in the same tier as all the other GOAT RBs like lynch Sanders smith Tomlinson etc

So were the saints lol

@@frankmarshall1254 Easy to be a force if you have to cheat to do it.

Packer fan here, and I was rooting for the Vikings all the way that day. Most of my friends were busy hating on Favre, while I was hoping this would be the outcome. I really wanted to see Favre win won more Superbowl. The guy gave us so many great years at Lambeau. The #4 is the only Packer jersey I'll wear until the end of my days.

@@anonymousoffspring1566 bro Farve should have won 2 rings with Green Bay Denver got lucky and 09 Saints very dirty team but liked Farve with Green Bay and Reggie White were great combo

@@anonymousoffspring1566 Could you imagine the look on your friends faces if Favre would have won a SB with the Vikings? The city of GB would have been shut down for a week!

As a Bears I can admit that Favre was one of the top 3 funnest quarterbacks to watch. He was always having fun and looked like he was just playing backyard football after school with the neighborhood kids

It is very weird. It would be like me seeing Big Ben walking out in Pittsburgh in a Ravens uniform. Seems like an alternate reality

Damn traitor. Face of the franchise.

@@daverichards9141 you are mistaken

Lebron james got boo

Happens in Hockey a lot actually.. when a crowd hates a player for whichever reason.. it's even funnier because they only boo when he has the puck.. then stop booing, then boo again.. its all in sync and pretty impressive tbh lol

@@daverichards9141 it's football lol not KGB spy operations grow up

Very pleased that he's in the Vikings Ring of Honor as of this year. (As of just yesterday typing this comment actually.)

that hit on the running back was devastating!! this team was just amazing to watch that entire season.

Neanderthal!

Too bad they all weren't

​@@Wisconsin654piss off

@@Wisconsin654you mad Favre left y’all trash

Not like adrian Peterson existing had anything to do with that

No one needs you telling us what happened in the game.

@1-800-Wavy This was the second meeting between these 2 that season. 2-0 season sweep.

@@BaronVonBielski That’s not what they said.

@@Ervgotti1985 ya it is

Them and the 2006 chargers and 2007 Patriots were the best teams to not win a super bowl this century and I'm a packers fan

@@ericsigersmith2831 49ers is the best team tf u mean bruh

Would off won, that yr.

@@ericsigersmith2831 I would put the 1998 Vikings in there as well if Anderson didn't miss that game ending FG against Atlanta

@@ericsigersmith2831 1969 Baltimore Colts, 2001 Rams, 2015 panthers, and 2020 chiefs too.

Yeah bro they had it... Even though Favre threw that pick AP fumble was what I felt cost the game

No. What cost the game was the fact the Saints CHEATED

@@nicholas.alan85 continue to cry about it.

@@nicholas.alan85 it wasn’t the cheating as much as the terrible calls that cost us that game imo

@@nicholas.alan85 no they dickhead lol we never once stole or used drones to spy practices or deflated footballs only thing we did was pay players to play better & hit harder

Man they were so loaded back then

@@isaiahlopez29 im loaded right now

It was definitely mixed boo’s and cheers. Mad respect to the Packer’s fans that recognized his greatness and what he did for their franchise for years, rather than be salty and bitter.

Oh yeah

2 seasons is not a legend

@@bennetxia8707 stfu

Favre is not a viking legend he needs to win a ring to that state

@@sportslangtv2181 eh um tarkenton is he failed 4 times bro

And then showed the world how he was exactly the same as he always was when he threw what ended up being a game ending interception in the NFC championship.

@@SabbraCadabra Credit Brad Childress there!

Same as a packers fan but good thing we never traded rodgers for moss on the raiders like we almost did people forget

That Saints defense basically ended Kurt Warner's career too.

screaming for vengeance and defenders? nice

Hardly

Lol this didn’t age well 😂

@@bradypeterson2884 well regardless of his morals and the fact he might be a shady dirtbag now, he was still the most fun to watch that I’ve ever seen

@@shanksmcnasty6650 Not defending what Favre did but rich getting everything while the poor stays poor is nothing new. It was also said I think, that over 90% of welfare requests gets denied every year so that money was always going somewhere. Not a big deal imo

He Is THE G.O.A.T

Digggs...... sideline....... unbelievable!!!!!!!

09 or 98 I don’t know which one hurts more. The 09 team definitely could of beat the colts in the Super Bowl

Same I remember from Sunday school and it was during night so during that day when I went to my uncles house that night my whole family were there and they were watching Seahawks vs Patriots and Seahawks are my favorite team and when we were about to hand the ball to Lynch guess what happened 🤦🏽‍♂️ so yea football was weird too me back then in those days 😂

It was yesterday

I'm gonna say it'll be different from the Packers fans. Brady left for Tampa, not a division rival, & won a Super Bowl there. And since Brady delivered 6 rings to the Patriots before he left, I think fans would at least cheer him loudly when he goes out of the tunnel + pregame. When it comes to the game proper, then they'll cheer for the home team ofc.

@@ptherochannel-main yeah either way, the emotions are gonna run deep!

@@ptherochannel-main for it to be a valid analogy, he would have had to gone to the Jets, then I'm sure he would have been booed.

Yeah, it baffles me when they say Favre got the last laugh. Did people just forget about the 2010 season?

@@Phinal_Flash yep. Last game rodgers beat Favre 31-3

Favre was bad in 2010

@@Smart-Sports yeah rodgers was way better

It almost happened in 2009 but the Packers lost in the first round to the Cardinals, who lost in the next round to the bounty-gate Saints.

That was Goodell's plan.

#OG

Absolutely

He almost did.

He should have been there in 2007 but Ted wouldn't pull the trigger and Favre was even willing to give up a million dollars to bring Moss aboard. Packers would have been in the SB with Moss on the team in 2007.

@@curthennig9448 What really angers me is when I hear the reports that it was just a 4th round pick for Moss from the Packers. Favre would have easily won the MVP had it not been for Moss going to New England

@@remywonderland7507 A huge blown opportunity for sure. Favre MVP and a SB appearance in 2007 if Moss comes aboard. Wasn't Randy killing it in New England in 07? What was Ted thinking? And Brett was pleading for it too happen. Only a 4th round pick? My God. Can you imagine Greg Jennings,Donald Driver,and Randy Moss!

You forgot he also won a natty at Michigan too and Defensive Rookie of the Year

It’s going to be a GREAT season! I’m really excited for Monday’s!

You also can’t win in OT on a first possession FG. Vikings might possibly have been in the SB if that rule had been changed sooner, but what are you gonna do?🤷‍♂️

AHHH

I thought the same thing!

Since Farve hardly threw any interceptions in that 09 season U knew he was going to throw one on the playoffs to cost the Vikings a win.

@@TimesUp777 not really fair to say he cost em, AP fumbled how many times in that game, and they STILL went into OT and should have won. That game started new OT rules.

@@brandonenglund7516 i agree that Captain fumblitis Peterson cost the Vikings that win. More so then Farve did, but Farve still had a chance to win it before he threw the pick.

@@TimesUp777 Can't forget that Favre got them there with a clutch drive to set up the game winning field goal but the HC sent 12 men on to the field after a timeout on 3rd down that drove the bikes out of field goal range. And AP had the fumble inside the saints 5 yard line but Harvin lost one inside the bikes 5 yard line and berrian lost one inside the saints 5 yard line. That's a 21 point swing right there. And then there was the refs.

@@remywonderland7507 i don't remember the whole game, but I know that Peterson fumbled 3 or 4 times in the 2009 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game.

Almost as much as he loved throwing the ball to the other team🥴😂😂

Farve you idiot

He said some things

He thought of himself as a man of faith.

@@oceanthresher6184 as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run.

and that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame

@@Laevateinn98 I’m very sorry to the people who write my paychecks.

Because god cursed us

He acted like a jackass on his way out the door and tried to manipulate his way to Minnesota while still under contract at the same time. He deserved to get booed for that behavior.

@@chriskay1449 just like A rod will then? He's doing the same thing right now

@@ahmedrahim2500 Not the same thing. A Rod has not spoken publicly about this matter and also has not faked a retirement to try to get the Packers to release him. Hell, he hasn't even asked for a trade either. The Packers haven't budged and they also learned from their mistakes with Favre as they are publicly stating their committment to Aaron and nothing else. They are in a far better position now than they were with Favre.

@@chriskay1449 He has asked for a trade and threatened retirement?!?!

@@vladtheimpaler9770 There is no proof Rodgers has which is my point. Brett did both publicly. He also publicly demanded his release. All he was with Rodgers is a "report" by Adam Schefter who has since admitted he actually has no sources backing up the story.

So what, same for Drew Brees, many forget he was drafted by San Diego but he’ll be remembered as a Saints qb

@@AussieAvgeek98 , the point is that it's an underrated fact.

@@AussieAvgeek98 I think more people remember that Brees was with the Chargers since he was there for 5 years when Favre was only with the Falcons for 1 year.

@@joemckim1183 and Favre backed up Jeff George too so it’s less rememberable

@@devinjerryfreedomisfree4599 Wasn't Favre's first completion to himself? I think it was on a tipped pass.

The Saints have been cursed ever sense

As a Saints fan the Vikings lost that because Favre threw a stupid interception not the Saints fault

@@jango3221 shut up dude yall were hitting him late all game. bretts head was probably so fucked up that he didnt know what to do

BRett Favre a victim of his own ego because he had to play hero ball instead of running.

@@jacksonglen7647 Brett knew exactly what he was doing. He does what he did his entire careeer. He tried to play hero ball. He let his ego get in the way of the team.

Thank God because it would’ve been annoying hearing his voice like it is for every game he calls

Except Rodgers already has multiple times. Mahomes has surpassed that. Favre's 2009 is becoming more and more pedestrian compared to what the QB's are doing in 2021.

@@chriskay1449lmao a 40 year old favre coming to a brand new team and going to the nfc title game is pedestrian? What QBs have ever done that besides tom Brady this past season with a brand new team...

@@redt7452 His stats were pedestrian. Rodgers has blown those stats out of the water several times over. And that NFC title game stuff means nothing because he ultamately choked it away with another one of his patented bonehead INT's. I wouldn't brag about that.

@@chriskay1449 Pedestrian? He was tied for 2nd in the league that season with Peyton Manning with 33td's. The league has been adapted to pad QB stats over the last decade. In 2009 the leaders for TD passes were : Brees: 34 Manning/Favre: 33 Rodgers : 30 with no other qb surpassing 30 td's. Favre made stars out of Sidney Rice (had 1,300 yards in 2009 and never eclipsed 800 any other year in his career) and Shancoe (11 td's). With Favre under center Adrian Peterson, usually useless as a receiver, had his best season with 27.3 receiving yards per game. The offense became #2 in the league under Favre after finishing 12, 15, 26, and 19 the previous 4 seasons. Nothing pedestrian about getting an MVP stolen because he was a "villian" in 2009, and a super bowl being stolen in a bounty bowl, where the media still ignores the missed fumble, phantom pi call, and reviewed catch that hit the ground but was called complete for the saints in OT.

@@redt7452 You miss the point entirely. The stats Favre had in 2009 QB's routinely get every year now. His age is irrelevant/. It is laughable to say nobody will ever do what Favre did when Brady already has done it multiple times and a number of other QB's have.

Feel good stories aren't allowed in pro sports, maybe once or twice a century

His ankle was destroyed during that game anyway, the doctor who did the surgery said it wasn’t even healed by the time the next season started. Vikings would’ve lost the Super Bowl and Favre would’ve been hobbling around on one leg the whole time. The story would’ve been the same.

As a Green Bay fan, much as I hate to say it, that’s the Favre special. Forcing a ball into double coverage and praying for the best… God, he was so much fun to watch, but he was also one of the most *painful* players to watch.

That makes me want to have. Ewwww. Lol

Except Rodgers doesn’t have much of a reason do get revenge (unless it’s for all the nfccg losses)

umm... no

I thought that happened a few years before.

The next season, ROdghers came, he saw, he kicked Favre's ass into retirement.

Not yet.. Kirk and JJ are about to save Zimmer from getting fired

@@Mickey_Simms not after what the Lions just did Go Pack Go!

@@chrisgriffith7586 Couldn’t care less. boutta be 2-0 come jan 2nd.

Last laugh for what? Not welcoming the next bart Starr back to the field in a exhibition match that turned volatile? But yet brett played admirably by using just talent and modern intuition. True packer fans recognize a true packer. ESPECIALLY mfin Bret Favre, brother(regretfully). 😁

@@justink9912 He tired to manipulate his way to Minnesota while still under contract and thought he could win a Super Bowl there in order to stick it to Green Bay. Well, he ended up a cripple while Rodgers vindicated Ted Thompson winning Super Bowl 45 while Favre was at home trying to glue himself back together.

@@chriskay1449 is not a true packer. Ended up a cripple lmao. He was just shooting bows with stone cold. Manipulate? Ted Thompson never gave him a choice to come back to green Bay. If it's your last two years, you wouldnt wanna go to a team with Superbowl potential? Lmao youre a riot sir

@@justink9912 Favre tried to use the fans to force Ted to release him by continually badmouthing the organization. What he failed to consider was that 1)The Packers had plenty of cap space to take his contract back on, and 2)Ted absolutely not caring one iota what either Brett or the fans thought. Then he ran his mouth one too many times with his Fox News interview which caused the fans to revolt against him. Oh and by the way son, the Packers were just in the NFC title game when he "retired" so he was already on a Super Bowl contender. In fact, he was the one who personally choked away that game with one of his patented boneheaded INT's. And yes he is a cripple. He has already admitted he has brain damage and is constantly forgetting things while living in pain. The only riot here is you.

@@chriskay1449 Son, not all packer fans revolted or disagreed against having him back. If the Packers were already Superbowl contenders then he lead them there at quarterback. Aaron got to the championship 2 years in a row now. F'ing cripple amiright, ole sonny o' pal?
