How Big Should Brett Favre's Waffle Be?

From SBNation/NFL:
Mayor Jim Schmitt is "asking for public input on the best way to respectfully ‘welcome back’ one of the City’s most famous former residents: new Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre."
From the Office of the Mayor, follow the link to send the Mayor your thoughts:
Mayor Schmitt has fielded a wide variety of ideas from Packer fans on how to commemorate the occasion, from re-naming streets, to welcoming back other former Packers greats, to creating the world’s largest #4 waffle.
OK, it might seem like a good idea to suggest ways to burn Favre's jersey, but the Mayor is trying to do something commemorative, not destructive. I'm not submitting anything, because he's not my favorite player at the moment. But I'm pointing this out to those readers who are actually still his fans.
Although, as you've noticed in this post title, I think making him a giant waffle is a dumb idea.

I like the waffle idea...
My fantasy football team name this year is Favre’s Waffle House and I have a picture of him crying when he first retired for my team picture. 4-2 now with him as my #2 QB too haha not a bad season. I think its time to trade him away before he breaks down or something. I just hope Bigby stays healthy for the next game against him so we can blitz this time!

Dumb idea? Perhaps. Delicious idea? Definitely.

Yummy waffles!
Tbh, I think nothing should be done. He is still in the NFL playing and commemoration should be after he retires, unretires, retires, unretires, and finally retires. If there is a need to celebrate him, do something small until he is done with the game. Doing nothing would be appropriate.

That is a big assumption!
Who’s to say he doesn’t retire and unretire one more time yet?? Carolina could use a QB…so could the 49ers!!

Assumption fail!!!!
Maybe there is a formula for this:
(retire, unretire)^x + retire = Favre

Always love your guys posts
BTW… the waffle idea is genius! Love the Sears commercial. Even Favre has fun with it!

Can't disagree with this
There has to be something done to remember Brett Favre in Green Bay, but lets save it until he’s definitely absolutely positively never playing another NFL game ever again.

Don't welcome him back
This isn’t the time to do it. Right now he’s playing for the Lex Luger to our Superman, the Dr. Claw to our Inspector Gadget, the Wo Fat to our Steve McGarrett. Right now, we want to beat his team, so there isn’t any reason to pretend to be “happy happy.” There will be plenty of opportunities for that in the future

Errr...
That’s Lex Luthor to your Superman.
Lex Luger was a wrestler, right?

Give Aaron Rodgers his jersey number?
Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.
Just because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.

Best way to welcome him back
would be with a Packers win. Preferably a big win with a lot of Favre INTs.
The way I’d like it seen done: Before the game, have a PA announcement commemorating Favre’s long years of service for the Packers, his achievements, what he’s meant for the franchise, to Packer fans the world over, etc. Loud cheer from the crowd. Basically, a nice thank you for the good times, for putting it all out there while wearing the green and gold.
Then, when Favre comes out with the Vikings, loud boos. Loud loud loud boos.
Then, when the game’s over, perhaps another show of thanks. Assuming the Packers win, of course. ;-)

I disagree
Don’t know if I read it here or in a Simmons article, but the best way is to simply have silence when they announce Favre. Completely ignore the guy.

That probably won't happen.
Nice idea, though.

The opposite of love...
is not hate… it is indifference.
I like the idea, but there would be not enough discipline to get EVERYONE to do it.

nope...
because there will be a ton of MN fans there that will cheer so it will sound like we are cheering for him. If we could make it so that ONLY people from Green Bay area were going to the game this would be fun to see…then have crickets chirping over the loudspeakers!! haha Won’t work though cause Minnesota rubes will be here in full force cheering as hard as we boo.

I was reading also that one of the suggestions was to show a video of his interceptions before the game
so maybe it isn’t all commemorative.
Don't question my fandominium.

I LOVE
this one…that would be TOO funny. Focus on the ones he threw to the Vikings too!!

Yeah. I think that would be the best way it could be done

Different idea
Here’s an idea that was expressed to me…
Give out simple shirts to all the fans at the game with only a number 12 on it. Ask all the fans in attendence to simply be silent when Favre is introduced, that way not showing love for a rival star or showing angst for one of the, if not the, greatest Packers of all time.
Now I realize not all the fans would wear the shirts but I think a majority would at least put them on for the beginning and some fans would boo or cheer, but having majority silence would really send the mesasge that we don’t hate you, but we don’t have to like you right now either.
The 12 shirts would also show support for Rodgers, who has been nothing short of brilliant in handling possibly the hardest possibly situation for any player ever.

A fruit basket would be nice

welcome?
I’ll give him a welcome back Brat Idea… Give every fan in the stadium a large foam hand w/ a middle finger salute for him!
That not being likely. I think everybody turning thier backs on the #4 intro would get the message across loud and clear!!! I mean he turned his back on all of Packer Nation when he signed w/ the hated queens, so turnaround is fair play!!!
by Strohman on Oct 19, 2009 7:54 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
thats good
I don’t think its what the mayor is looking for but turning our backs might send a message but I don’t know if he’d even notice…

announcer
should announce his name incorrectly.
“and now the qb we all love #4 for the the Minnesota Vikings Brent Farve!!”
We could have Bart Starr out there before the game and introduce him as the best qb to ever don a Packer uniform!
I still like the INT video highlight thing.
If he throws an INT during the game the announcer can say “and that was another Brett Favre…” and then crowd says Interception! like in college games for first downs.
No one goes to his steakhouse all week!
