He played with great passion and enthusiasm for the game. Whether or not you liked or disliked the Packers, everyone respected the way he carried himself and played the game. He was admired for his toughness and ability to play through pain and he faced many obstacles along the way (his father passing, wife's breast cancer, addiction to painkillers, etc). Through it all he was there every Sunday. He cons. starts streak has given him a persona larger than his play on the field. <BR/><BR/>However, I have to look at his career from both sides. Favre was the last true gunslinger. It made his team and fans adore him, but it also limited his success in my opinion. At times Favre played with reckless abandon. He wasn't afraid to throw the ball into triple coverage. He felt that he always had to make a play which resulted in his record 288 career ints. He should've won multiple Superbowls. Yes he has the most touchdowns, completions, yards, etc but that is because he played longer than Marino or Elway, not because he is a better QB. He is a first ballor HOF and true warrior, but part of me feels that for all of his individual accomplishments he should've delivered more team success.A Tru Gentlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608066066969318609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796215087287330970.post-74607500037795106112008-03-09T16:42:00.000-04:002008-03-09T16:42:00.000-04:00Yea he is definitely a class act.I wasn't really u...Yea he is definitely a class act.I wasn't really up on him until I started freelance writing and doing my research. Of course as a Lions fan and Detroit native, me rooting for a team that whups our ass in almost every time we face them,deserving or not, is out of the question. I have mad love for Favre though. His passion and anguish at coming to the decision to retire were obvious when he addressed the press. Where as Marion Jones' tearful apology when she got busted for steroid use seemed more of a stereotypical character in a real bad soap opera, Favre seemed genuine. Like this was the toughest decision he's had to make and he really is "mentally tired". When you get to his status, hell, all you got left is a Superbowl ring. There is no close second. It's all or nothing. I'm with him. If I can't give it 100% then I don't want to do it at all regardless of what things I got working in my favor.Why half ass?<BR/><BR/>Warmest regards<BR/>Qiana M<BR/>event planner.host.actress<BR/>http://www.qianam.com<BR/>http://quota-bles.blogspot.comQiana Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737370482808752464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796215087287330970.post-90671720142310035642008-03-09T15:24:00.000-04:002008-03-09T15:24:00.000-04:00It is definitely the end of an era...Brett Favre, ...It is definitely the end of an era...Brett Favre, along with Troy Aikman, John Elway, Steve Young, and Dan Marino ruled the 1990s...Favre is the only three time MVP in the NFL, which is shocking..Even though he only won one Super Bowl, playing in Green Bay is hard enough becauise hardly nobody would go there to play..I believe that the Atlanta Falcons will regret the day that they traded Favre to the Packers because what do they have to show for it nothing except for Michael Vick being in jail, Deion Sanders winning Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys...Brett Favre is definitely a first-ballot hall of famer..All the tragedy he had to endure in his life, he was able to enjoy the game that he loves and we will all miss him next season, but now its tkime for Aaron Rodgers to step up and be the man in Green Bay now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
