But now he is back and he is playing in the division

He would have been remembered as a Packer and only a Packer.But from now on, when you mention Brett Favre, the Vikings are going to come up.And for Vikes fans, there is nothing sweeter than to have the best player in your franchise history extend all of his records and play for the "best team he (Favre) have ever played for", have dramatic come-from-behind wins, be all over the media in Minnesota when you could have kept him in Green Bay.The only explanation for the sudden Rodgers swing is having Favre in purple Before, Packer fans didn't care much Favre was traded to New York. He was in the AFC.But now he is back, and he is playing in the division.The entire anti-Favre pro-Rodgers saga is a defense mechanism. Fans, in my opinion only love Rodgers to get back at Brett Favre.It is love at second sight. And the only reason that it is love at second sight is that they are desperate..

(Recasts with opening night film, comments, ) Media By Bob Tourtellotte PARK CITY, Utah, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The 25th Sundance FilmFestival opened on Thursday with founder Robert Redfordsounding an optimistic note for cinematic art and an artfulmovie challenging audiences to laugh through the pain of animperfect world. The Australian animated film "Mary and Max," a tale ofmisfits on opposite sides of the globe who find friendship bybecoming pen pals, was described by festival director GeoffreyGilmore as being about "compassion, love, friendship andideas." It seemed a fitting opening for 25th anniversary of the topU.S. "It's not the sort of story you'd see from (Hollywoodstudios) DreamWorks or Pixar. It deals with different ormarginalized characters," director Adam Elliot told Reuters."It's something a bit odd. But at the end of the day, it'ssupposed to be a feel-good film." Sundance, backed by Redford's Sundance Institute forfilmmaking, has long championed non-mainstream work. When it began in 1985, the festival's low-budget moviesoften centered on human dramas, and as past Sundance films like"sex, lies and videotape" and "Clerks" proved profitable, theindie market began to grow.

The range of independent films broadened to include morecomedy and technology, and the movies became more global intheir scope Sundance has helped usher in those changes. Mightydistributors like Paramount Vantage and Warner IndependentPictures ceased to exist or changed business plans. The quality and range of independent movies had improvedwith titles such as "Little Miss Sunshine" or "NapoleonDynamite," but with that came more independent films competingto reach theaters Revenues per film have fallen. Still, Redford believes independent filmmakers will findnew ways to make movies and reach fans, and at Thursday'spremiere of "Mary and Max" he saw the upcoming inauguration ofU.S. President-elect Barack Obama as a harbinger for change inthe art of cinema.
