Looking over some plays made by Brett Favre throughout his years in Green Bay, I caught a comment on YouTube from a Packers fan about Brett Favre that said: “God, it's so hard to hate him.”

He is going to be playing against his old teammates in the Monday Night Packer vs Viking game and you, Green Bay fans, may need some reasons not to hate him, here are my top five reasons why you Packers fans can't hate Brett Favre:

 

5. Record Breaking Game: On Sept. 30, 2007, Brett Favre threw a pair of touchdown passes, but most importantly, he threw the 421st of his career, making him the NFL's all-time leader in that category passing former Dolphins' QB Dan Marino.

Another curious fact is that the game was in, of places, the Metrodome in Minnesota, former “house of horrors” and current home of Favre.

4. Sept. 30, 1992: Favre replaced Don Majkowsk and threw the game winning TD pass to Kitrick Taylor with 13 seconds remaining for the win over the Bengals, 24-23.

That was Favre’s first game dressed as a Packer and the beginning of an All-time consecutive starts record win streak of 293 games.

3. Back-to-back playoff appearances:  Packers fans can’t forget that he led his team to the playoffs for the second straight time, he ran for the game-winning touchdown with 14 seconds left against the Falcons on Dec. 18, 1994.

The Packers finished the 1994 season 9-7, advancing to the playoffs two years in a row, an achievement they had not accomplished since the Vince Lombardi era.

2. Out-of-this-world performance: A Monday Night that Favre and the Green Bay faithful will never forget was in 2003 against the Oakland Raiders when he started one day after his father died of a heart attack.

Favre passed for four touchdowns and 399 total yards in the blowout 41–7 victory over the Raiders. Without question, it was an emotional game with an out-of-this-world performance.

1. Super Bowl ring: On Jan. 26, 1997 Favre and the Green Bay Packers beat the Patriots 35 -21 at the Super Bowl XXXI. Favre passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in the Packers' first Super Bowl win in 29 years.
