Brett Favre Gives NFL Fans (Minus Charger Fans) a Warm Fuzzy
It’s hard not to get sentimental when it comes to Brett Farve. The guy plays with his heart on his sleeve, is only in it for the W’s (insert your own heart-string plucking cliche here, etc.), and has gone through some seriously tough times in the last few years. Plus, he’s been written off for dead more frequently than Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers combined. Well you can stop working on his tombstone, because he and the Packers are very much alive (to the chagrin of Aaron Rogers, who probably has lengthy discussions of despair with his clipboard every Sunday).
Yesterday, # 4 engineered yet another late game victory when he hit speedster Greg Jennings for a 57-yard TD pass that put the Packers ahead of the Chargers to stay in a 31-24 victory. That touchdown also tied Brett Favre with Dan Marino for the most touchdown passes in NFL history. A record he seemed to be completely unfazed by…
“I could care less about the record,” Favre said after the game. “Everybody’s congratulating me, but I told them it doesn’t mean anything if we don’t win the game.”
The Packers now stand alone in first place in the NFC North, and are only one of five undefeated teams remaining (along with the Colts, Patriots, Steelers and Cowboys). Nice going, Favvvre!
Speaking of which, do you realize that There’s Something About Mary is almost 10 years old?! What’s more amazing; the fact that Favre (at age 38) is still slinging touchdown passes, or that Ben Stiller (at age 41) is still staring in romantic “comedies”?
…I’m going with the latter.
