discussionTALKBACK:What Do You Think?

The crowd -- many wearing No. 4 jerseys -- chanted, "We want Brett" and carried signs reading, "Favre for President."

Adam and Erick Rolfson organized the rally. The two Milwaukee-area brothers said they planned the rally when they heard the team wasn't eager to have Favre return as the starter.

They said they plan to hold another rally Monday night in the Milwaukee area and then every Sunday until the team reinstates Favre.

They have started a Web site, www.bringbackbrettfavre.com, where fans can vote on what the Packers should do.

Adam and Erick Rolfson said they want the team to know Favre has earned the right to keep his starting position.

The team has said Favre could rejoin the team in a "different role" but said it's committed to going with Aaron Rodgers as its starter.
