"Brett Favre is a baitin' mother" Hahahahaha

[@kathyrae1140]

That was like when he got sacked against the Vikes and he got up and said "who hit me" a couple times and when he found out who it was he said something like 'What's the matter- you can hit harder than that''.

[@thedollarbox]

he never played for stats, just played to win. I dont think there has been another player in the history of the game that enjoyed it more

[@hmackprotection1]

ptetapi So True

[@hammerlane3871]

only guy I can think of would be Brady because he was literally the player that nobody wanted, and the only reason he had a chance is cause new England opened up a 4th QB spot just in case they needed a guy to make a few passes. guy never gave up though, he wanted it that badly

[@thedollarbox]

@@hammerlane3871 and those are the types of things that make an AMAZING QB career!

[@kevinseibel1189]

@@hammerlane3871 no the Pats kept him cause they saw he had something and didnt want anyone else to see it they knew 100% he was never going to throw a pass that first year no matter what. Belichick talked about it he just didnt want to risk putting him on the taxi squad where someone might grab him. I must say the Falcons and Glanville did see something noone else did in Favres arm explaining why he made clear he was never going to play but put him out there to throw the ball before the game...turned a 2nd round pick into a 1st too bad it backfired.

[@fenner1986]

I fully believe had Holmgren stayed in Green Bay we would have had another 2-3 Super Bowl wins with Favre. It sucks, Holmgren was the perfect pairing with Favre. Holmgren might have had to sacrifice a bit of hair and color in his hair, but I'd imagine that'd be worthwhile for a couple of rings.

[@rrmorris67]

Ive been a Bears fan most of my life. Favre for me was impossible to hate, even when I tried. He exemplified everything I want to see in a QB. The leadership, style, charisma, the humility, The sense of humor, the accountability, the arm strength, the durability and courage. He absolutely dominated the Chicago Bears for most of his time in the league. His replacement is the total opposite of a lot of the things that made Favre so great, and he is really easy to hate.

[@HighMo]

Total class (unusual) from a Bears fan. I felt the same way about both Gale Sayers and Walter Payton - great players. Sayers was unreal.

[@Georgiagreen317]

I feel the same only as a Viking fan. But we got to enjoy him in purple for a few years. And it may be a couple of his years ever. As for those Rogers fans, he did fine while in GB, but time will tell how or if he finishes his career. Rogers was good, but no Farve.

[@Jimmy-Legs]

I remember an early game for Favre.The game was in Milwaukee. At that time , half the games or so were played there the rest in Green Bay. Farve actually threw the ball away instead of throwing some ill advised pass. He got a standing ovation and that was when he turned things around for himself and GB.

[@friedrice69]

He lived his Football dreams. AMAZING!!

[@ericdobrien]

How irresponsible of Glanville not to know anything about a draft pick @ 7:12 who exhibits resilience and character like that. Instead he makes him a side-show and a mockery of his talent. That reveals a lot about the man and the coach = 63-73 (NFL); 9-24 (College) and now D Coordinator in the XFL. Meanwhile, Favre and Holmgren @ 13:19.

Or if his career began in let’s say the year 2000? He would probably be able to play until he’s 50. I doubt he’d have half the injuries that he played through. 297 consecutive regular season starts and he took a beating. It’s not like he stood there and never got touched like some other QBs today.

[@larrybaxter6881]

Darn, I was hoping this documentary would have included one play I saw when Favre came up to the line on 4th and short and tried to do a hard count to draw an off sides. But the whole defensive line didn't fall for it and half of them were saying, "Don't move! don't move!!!" and all Brett could do was smile and take a time out.

My dad was a big Brett Favre fan. I was really young when he played and Ive watched a lot of highlights of him. He was exciting, the decision of a gunslinger he had amazing great plays and amazing blunders, intercepts at the most awful times. But that’s what made Brett great, he wasn’t afraid to try anything. Mike knew how to coach him, he limited the interceptions at times, he won three straight MVP’s won a Super Bowl. One of the greatest qb’s to ever play in the National Football League. Had all quarterback stats when he retired, wins, yards touchdowns.

[@scottyhaines4226]

And interceptions. Can't forget he has the all time INT record

[@stephm2009]

[@tempest20000]

A popular Packers writer said the Packers really underachieved. They really did in Favre’s time. He has 3 straight shots. 95, they’re leading into the 4th Quarter in Dallas. Then he throws a pick in the red zone and costs them the game. 97, they were good enough to beat the Broncos. Favre is the MVP, Antonio Freeman has his breakout season. They have a great O-Line and the defense is still crazy powerful. But they were CRAZY overconfident. Bob Harlen (the president of the team) was shocked that when they came out for halftime, they had so spark, life, whatever you want to call it. They were flat and they played that way. If they played their best, they would have won that game. This is probably the big game that keeps the head coach Mike Holmgren out of the HOF. He didn’t adjust to the Broncos and just kept throwing even tho Denver was playing to stop Favre. They were just crowding the line of scrimmage daring Favre to throw and they just kept throwing. Why didn’t they run? It’s not like they couldn’t. Their RB Dorsey Levens rushed for over 1400 yards. It’s really disappointing how much they underachieved.
