Favre

[gary_in_neenah]

The Ol' Gunslinger is going into the Hall of Fame this weekend. Many happy memories for those of us in Wisconsin (and Minnesota too). Two Superbowls for the Pack and darn near another one with the Vikings. The game he played against the Raiders a couple of days after his dad died, incredible. Probably one of his most enduring records will be the 321 consecutive starts, I doubt any of us will be around to see that record fall.

Some quirky memories too, like retire and un-retire about 20 times. Traded to the Jets and that business with Jenn Sterger, what the heck was that? Something About Mary, Driving Holmgren nuts, Wrangler Jeans, nose to nose with Warren Sapp, too many memories to mention.

One of my personal recollections, summer of 1992 Training Camp. I'm watching the guys warm up from behind the fence. Majkowski is the quarterback but the new guy they traded for is out there too. Nobody knows much about Favre yet. He's throwing 30 to 35 yards downfield....with his left arm. So I'm thinking "he's a lefty huh? Nope, just Brett screw'n around again.

Thanks Brett, despite the interceptions and the boneheaded plays, you made it fun to watch. Congratulations!

Well said. Felt ol Brett didn't owe me anything as a fan there at the end of his career. Most of us have a good life time of memories and bragging rights thanks to him !

One of greatest QBs ever. BUT will he unretire & backup Romo become the only Hall of Famer to come back & play again. LOL

Brett was awesome, so fortunate I got to watch everyone of his games in the prime of my life. So he went to Minnesota, big deal, its business first today. While he drove me nuts some days with his bone heads plays I wouldn't trade any of it. The guy played the game how it's supposed to be played. He wasn't a prima a dona he came to work everyday and gave 110%.
When it's all said and done and you compare Rodgers numbers to Favre's numbers Rodgers will prolly have him beat and be recognized as a better QB than Favre. But he will never be as beloved here as Favre is.

Most fans would give their left arm to have Brett play for their team, and I'd imagine most bears fans would give both arms.
