Those fans that despise the Green Bay Packers might want to avoid tonight’s Monday Night Football game. The Packers are set to face the Atlanta Falcons and a game that already had the makings of a Jon Gruden-Aaron Rodgers lovefest took a giant leap into concerning territory. ESPN Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde is reporting the Packers legend Brett Favre will make an appearance alongside Bart Starr at Lambeau Field.
It remains unclear when or even if Favre will be introduced to the crowd. The visit was apparently planned for earlier in the season but Starr had been battling some health issues.
Does this series of tweets feel like the Favre-Vikings saga all over again?
