For Green Bay Packers fans who are looking beyond the Favre melodrama and understand that “winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing”, Vince Lombardi QuickQuotes is a worthy download. Not only will the free app remind Packer Backers of their team’s true golden age (Favre after all only won one Super Bowl), but also reinforce the notion that “the achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.”
For nearly two decades, John Madden carried a highly visible man-crush for Farvre and the way he played the game. While Madden is actually able to stay retired for some period of time, his Madden NFL 10 by EA Sports app is the best way to call the plays as Brent would. The $7.99 app was released September 3 and thus had enough time to include Favre in a Viking uniform.
Taking things personally
Could it have been possible that even while Favre was leading the Packers he had designs on becoming a Viking? If so, than Mind-Reader1 Infidelity Checker would have been a way to find out in advance. The $2.99 novelty app playfully uses voice recognition technology to detect where one’s true emotions lie.
When Favre returns to Lambeau Field in a couple weeks, Packer fans can collectively become the 12th player on the team by downloading iRevenge. The 99-cent app has 20 different sound effects geared for practical jokes and putting an adversary in his place.
Favre can take a snap of these apps
As the Viking’s are Favre’s third different team in as many years, there are a number of personal and professional contacts he must track and maintain. While head butts are more his thing, Favre would be wise to download the popular Bump application to most easily hand-off relevant info about himself to new co-workers.
Of course, at some point, Favre will eventually retire to spend time riding his tractor in Mississippi. Until then, he can pass the time in the locker room or on flights playing with the children’s Tractors app. This 99-cent app is targeted to 2-to-6 year-olds who are fascinated by tractors, trucks and other machinery.” Perfect for those times when Favre acts just like a child.
