Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers
If you are a Green Bay Packer's fan, then you already know that the name Brett Favre is synonymous with the Green Bay Packers. Even if you are just a NFL football fan, then you know that Brett Favre is an icon in Green Bay. You cannot help but like Brett Favre and you have to be excited to see him play.
Brett Favre is one of the best quarterbacks that has ever played the game of football and he is one of the most exciting players to watch. He plays with more heart and guts than just about every other athlete that has ever stepped on a football field. Many believe that if the coaches would allow it he might attempt to play defense as well as offense.
Brett Favre now owns just about every quarterback record out there, he has won a super bowl, participated in a few, and has played in well over 250 straight NFL games. He gets in the face of linebacker to tell them that their hit was good, he is not afraid to throw the ball deep or try to squeeze it into places that others cannot get it.
Brett Favre is known as a gunslinger and as a gunslinger he is compared to old west figures that are mainly played by John Wayne in the movies. Even after everything that Brett Favre has been through, his father passing away, his wife being diagnosed with breast cancer, and his brother in law having an accident that took his life, Brett had one of the best seasons of his career and for a 38 year old he had one of the best seasons possible.
Mr. Favre had always had fun playing the game and he plays it the way all athletes should play. He plays like a child would play the game and you can tell by the smile on his face that he enjoys it the same way a young child enjoys the sport. This is refreshing and incredible to watch. If all athletes played with the vigor and fun that Brett plays with just think of how exciting sporting events would be.
It is urged that all athletes watch Brett play this next season in order to be reminded of how they used to play the games they are now being paid to play. Brett will have a great season and with all the young stars surrounding him it should be exciting to see some of the wonderful plays that he comes up with. We can only hope to see more overtime touchdown passes on Monday night football and more underhand tosses as Brett stumbles away from a defender in the playoffs. We can only hope.
