With the entire country watching, soon to be Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre was honored before the Bears played the Packers this Thanksgiving. With tensions always high among fans whenever the rival teams face off, the ceremony made more than a few Bears fans angry.
Before the game started, NBC played a video honoring Favre. The hate from Bears fans immediately started rolling in on Twitter.

Through his career, Favre had plenty of success against the Bears. Despite mixed results from Favre personally, he went 23-13 against the Bears with both the Packers and Vikings.
