Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre celebrates after throwing a touchdown pass in the second half against his former team the Green Bay Packers during a NFL football game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin in this November 1, 2009 file photo. Favre returned to the Green Bay for the first time wearing the Vikings' purple and walked away with a 38-26 win. For some in this tight-knit Midwestern town, where many are shareholders in the NFL's only community-owned team, Favre's signing with the despised Vikings in August for $25 million was a slap in the face bordering on high treason. For others, the 40-year-old Favre's return represented a chance to thank the future Hall of Famer, who led the Packers to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, winning it all in 1997.
