Favre Inspiring Church Signs in Green Bay

Posted by Matt Sebek, September 10, 2008

A few churches across the Green Bay area are participating in a battle of wits. Thanks to a reader tip, we were turned on to some various church signage throughout local Green Bay. As far as we can tell, this *isn't* one of those online sign-generator thingies. Apparently, the effort was started by the Waupun Assembly of God church, and others have followed suit by posting the same message.

We're guessing these churches are trying to win back parishioners since many Packers fans stopped going to church when #4 joined the Jets - citing the reason "Brett is God, and now he's gone."

Take a gander.

Would Rev. Ethan Steinbrenner at Benthany Evangelical Luterhan be considered the "black sheep" or the "good boy" of the family?

Think about this for a second. It would appear that these sign makers have no real grasp of the situation. Brett WAS trying to come back as a Packer. The Packers are the ones who sent him to the Jets! Just more absurdity. Maybe the signs should read "God wouldn't trade you to the Jets!" Wonderful........Now I have "Benny and The Jets" by Elton John stuck in my head.

They're real. A friend of mine back home (in Wisconsin, ya hey) works with someone who goes to the Waupun House of Worship. One would have to figure, after Monday Night's victory over the Bealzibub Vikings, that some of the boards might be changed to something like: "Second Coming of Jesus - All Hail Rodgers This Sunday!"
