Favre Earns 50-50 Split with Barney (with Farve Jokes)

I recently asked my Linked In network to respond to a poll which asked the question: What Purple Dinosaur would they rather watch, Brett Favre or Barney. This is a popular joke that has been going around the state of Wisconsin and Packer nation since our favorite quarterback son switch to our heated rival to the northwest. Funny as this joke is to us fans, it was a fun question to ask considering my last blog was about personal branding.

Here are the results: -50% of the respondents said they would rather watch Barney than Brett. -100% of people 25-34 who took the poll said they would watch Brett.
-100% of people 35-54 said they would rather watch Barney
-40% of the respondents were women, and all women voted for Brett
-owners of companies that took the poll were split 50-50, while all other positions voted for Barney 67% to 33%

While this was a very small sample size, I believe it is fair to say that Brett Farve's reputation/legacy/branding has been hurt.
It might be interesting to see what would happen to the results at the midpoint of the season and after the season. That is something to ponder.

Jokes:
What does the government and the Minnesota Vikings have in common?
They both pay cash for clunkers!

Many, many years from now, Brett Favre passes on. Upon entering heaven, he is shown his beautiful, new eternal home.On his way down the street, however, he spots a much larger home, with "Dallas Cowboys" on the sidewalk in front.Brett asks St. Peter, " I love my house, but I won a Super Bowl and multiple NFL MVP's. How come Tony Romo gets a better house than me??"St. Peter laughs, "Brett, that's not Tony Romo's house. God lives there!!"

Members of the Minnesota Vikings say they're happy the team has acquired Brett Favre. Mainly for the retirement party.

What is the difference between Brett Farve and a cockroach (Thanks MT for this one):
Only one scurries from the limelight!
