Favre Inducted Into Green Bay Hall of Fame

Go ahead and hate Brett Favre if you must, but based on the way things looked on Saturday, you'd be in the minority. After what we saw at Lambeau Field, all seemed to be forgiven.

In the same stadium where Favre was booed the last time he came through the tunnel (as a member of the Minnesota Vikings), the legendary former quarterback was welcomed back into the Green Bay Packers family with a long-lasting standing ovation that included chants of "MVP, MVP, MVP" from the 67,000 fans who showed up to watch his induction into the Packers Hall of Fame and the retirement of his No. 4.

"All I can say is, 'Wow,'" Favre told the crowd before his induction. "This is absolutely amazing. I don't have the words to express the feeling of coming out of that tunnel to this ovation.

"If there were any doubts before, there's not any now. I truly thank you."

It was almost is if the events of 2008 -- when Favre retired, changed his mind and demanded his release so that he could play for one of the Packers’ NFC North rivals -- were forgotten.
