Ken Carriveau didn't anticipate a master's amount in counseling would do him abundant acceptable 5 years ago if he took over the Amphitheater Sports and Memorabilia abundance abreast Lambeau Field.
But now there are canicule if Carriveau feels added like a acquaintance to his barter than the freeholder of a Packers commodity shop.
"I accept audience that appear in, and it's area they appear to aperture and talk," he said. "I accept guys that appear in and don't even attending to buy anything. They've never even anticipation about affairs anything, but they'll appear and absorb three hours talking."
The accountable is consistently Brett Favre.
The approaching Hall of Fame quarterback congenital his fable during 16 seasons as a Packer and will acknowledgment today for the aboriginal time as a affiliate of the archrival Vikings. Many developed Wisconsin men battle with that the aforementioned way a adolescent babe ability attempt with the actuality that Kevin Jonas isn't cat-and-mouse to ally her.
There was a apish funeral. Disparaging T-shirts are for auction all about town. The hooting about Favre will ample the air forth with the smoke from broiled bratwurst today as the tailgaters able accessible their beers in the blithe atmosphere about the celebrated stadium.
This wasn't how things were declared to work. Not for their quarterback. It was boxy seeing him abrasion a New York Jets jersey endure division ... but to see him run out of the visitor's adit at Lambeau Field in a Vikings uniform? Unthinkable.
So they bald their souls to Carriveau. And again they allocution some more.
"Nobody knows who to get behind," said Carriveau, 63, a constant Packers fan and still a Favre supporter. "Everybody is so still affected in the mix of, 'Who is to blame?'
"It's like, 'Get over it. The guy has been gone for 20 months.' ... I anticipate they accept to let go. It's like a bad divorce. They accept to stop demography sides."
