Bob McGinn's signature/indelible Favre game? His playoff game with Vikes in New Orleans in 2009.
https://t.co/wctRGxSGAR
Hall of Fame locker, items selected by curator of HoF.

Signature game in many ways, including the interception even McGinn called "boneheaded" that was crucial in the outcome.Quote:

If it is temporary and will be gone in a few years, I really don't much care what is in it.
If it is "permanent", I think the content matters, because it educates and conveys impressions for years to people who have very little knowledge of his career.
How many others have multiple teams represented in their displays, when only very small parts of their careers were with another team?
If it is intended to highlight the consecutive games record, shouldn't the Jets be represented for being part of the streak? It would better represent the progression of the streak and his longevity.
The display does seem to imply a somewhat equal footing for the Packers and Vikings, although it appears only a Packer helmet is displayed. It seems to me a more appropriate display might have been an all Packer locker, with Jets and Vikings jerseys layered behind the Packer jersey such that each is only half exposed.
I am willing to ignore the Falcons in his display.
i don't believe for one second that bf wasn't consulted. :-)Quote:

Don't they have a records section in the HOF? They easily could have had the locker with BF's GB uniform and then a display about his ironman status elsewhere in the museum with all the jerseys he wore during the streak.Quote:

I think the lockers are just for the inductees. But I don't remember the details.
Seriously a DISGRACE!
OK, this is the last straw.

Favre says he's been on a gluten-free diet after struggling with allergies for years. Said he eats only non-processed foods. Weighs 219.
The guy sitting next to Tony Dungy was always picked last for sports games when he was a kid.Quote:

that display is complete bull shit
talk about pissing in the face of packer fans who just started to get over the whole mess to begin with
Guess Bert doesn't feel those last few years was an aberration. Well done Bert, we will never forget you BERT.
Joe Montana only has a SF jersey in his even though he finished in KC.
I seriously can't take it any more. FUCK this. Might not even watch it now.
yeah, it really ruins the whole thing imoQuote:

It sounds like Favre had nothing to do with the display:

If Favre chose to hang a noosed effigy doll of TT in the locker, I'd say that would be getting close to bad taste.
I no longer remember where I read it, but I don't think this is a permanent display. I don't think every HoFamer has a locker in Canton.
And I get the Vikings mention. He broke Jim Marshall's record.
