Detainees at a camp in Baghdad, Iraq have found a way to get under the skin of guard troops from Wisconsin.

And it has to do with football and a painful chapter for some Green Bay Packers fans who consider Brett Favre a traitor for joining the rival Minnesota Vikings.

First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen of New Richmond says the detainees are familiar with Favre and picked up on the troops' discussion about the quarterback's performance with the Vikings.

Lt. Col. Tim Donovan says the detainees at Camp Cropper needle the guards about Favre's success as a Viking.

Boehnen tells WTMJ radio that since soccer is the main sport in Baghdad, it lacks a Vikings fan club.
