Summary: Famous NFL quarterback Brett Favre, now playing for the team he was most known for (the Packers) rival the Minnesota Vikings, shook off the crowds boos and played what some are saying was one of his best games last Sunday. The final score being 38-26, Vikings, it was a difficult loss for the Packers seeing as to they were on their own turf and playing against what many hardcore Packer fans are calling a ‘traitor’ (AKA Brett Favre). The Packers’ players and staff are hopeful for the next match against them comes later on, but are still sore from the depressing outcome of the game. However, most people will argue that even though the Packers lost, Rodgers was also on top of his game, completing the game with 261 pass yards compared to Favre who finished with 244.

Critique: I thought the article was pretty well written, and I liked how they showed both sides of the story as far as the issue when Favre was constantly booed and such. The author included enough about the actual game as well as the issue many people are talking about (Favre being a Viking).
