Favre Speaks
Some of you who have been around here a while know how much of an NFL fan I am. Went to my first football game in the Oakland Coliseum with my Dad and Grandpa on Halloween 1967. Watched the raiders trounce the Houston Oilers 40-7. The Raiders had a new rookie Linebackers coach thatyear named Madden.
But being a lifelong Niners/Raiders fan always meant the Pack had to lose so the Niners could get into the big game. However, I have always loved the whole game itself and loved to watch great players from other teams play. Many non-Raider/Niners stand out in my mind, OJ (what a let down in the end), Bradshaw, Staubach, Dorsett, Payton, Barry Sanders, Marino…too many to mention.
And then, yeah, I liked to watch Favre play too. Never wanted to go to the NFC Championship Game at Lambeau if you could help it.
Salute, Brett.

I’m a Wisconsonite - we knew this day was coming. Brett was always great fun to watch and all that - What I liked was just he always had fun playing the game. He got in the D-lines face if needed, he joked witht he other team when needed - just a guy that if you could, you would ahve played football every sunday afternoon with. There will always be the debate - was he the best, who was better and what about this or that” So be it. You can have those all day long. I just like the games with Brett because Brett liked the games and for those of you that are not local, the after the game press discussions where just ahoot. A few weeks left in the season this last year, someone asked if that “are you gonna retire” question. Brett, typical Brett, said “man, I know where you are going, can he hack it, is he too old, is the arm falling apart…Tell you what, you come hang out with me and catch a few passes and then we’ll see if that’s still the question you want to ask” Just classic.
