In a few hours the NFC Championship will be on the line, however I will be making mocha for Starbucks' customers.
Now I have been upset, sad, and depressed as I have had this reality in my mind for a week, yet I am at peace about it now.
In the past few minutes I have watched some old clips of Bears vs Packers and in the clips is a man who wears green and gold and a number 4 on his jersey.
If you know me well you know that I have hated Favre over the past two years. I have cheered loudly against him (ask Memphis Folk) and I have even hated him as a person more than ever (see sextgate). By the way I have met Favre and he seemed like a all right guy when I was a kid, but in the past two years he made a lot of poor decisions on and off the field (see his overtime inceptions in 2007 and 2009). I am no genius, but I try to be one at times and one lesson I have learned is forgiveness.
I need to learn this lesson daily. On the eve of the biggest game (maybe win) in Green Bay history since the leaving of Brett Favre I have to say I feel like I can forgive him for the wrong he has done on and off the turf.
Early this week Favre said he thought the Pack would "win it all, and he wants them too." Also Favre said "Rodgers is the best in the NFL right now."
Now these comments mean nothing because Favre just wants to be on television and in the news, but at least it's a positive message to Green Bay's fans like myself. For a long time Favre was only in the news for negative attention.
As I stated I feel like I have moved on from Favre. I hate that Favre did what he did, but after I watched the old clips of Favre playing hurt, Favre playing after the death of his father, and Favre throwing countless last minute touchdowns to beat the Bears and Vikings, I am a bit relieved that Favre used to play for the good guys of the NFC, not the rivals of God's team.
So hear I sit. The eve before the NFC champ is given a ticket to the Super Bowl.
