A bit of a homer story first before we get going: Long before Seattle became a thorn in my side, I had a very specific and aimed hatred towards a certain team in Wisconsin. As a San Francisco 49ers fan, my No. 1 hated team should be the Dallas Cowboys, but a quarterback named Brett Favre gave me a bad childhood.
And they always talked about him. Oh did they talk about him. His greatness, his throws, his poise. Ugh. It wasn’t until I moved to Seattle and heard about the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl (even though they were like, 3-10 at the time), that I re-shifted my priorities.
