OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[mraynrand]

Well, then, let's say Bob Harlan's mother. She said "yes" to Bob's dad one fine day or night, and had she had a headache that time, we'd still be mired in the mess from the 70's and 80's.

Thanks, Bob's mom!

And not just Harlan's father, but his father's father, and his father's father's father's father.

"All right Stan, don't belabor the point"

Might be one of the best stories about what it was like to play with Young Favre. easy to understand why coaches are control freaks.

Brunell: My favorite Brett Favre story is a hunting story from when he was a kid. He and a buddy or a couple buddies who were out trespassing on some property somewhere and they had a .22 rifle. They were just messing around and they see a deer. You're trespassing, you shouldn't be there to begin with, and the last thing you should do is take your gun and shoot at a deer. So they do it, and I think they hit it a few times and knock it down. After a couple shots ring off, they realize somebody could discover them and find out they're trespassing. They're frantic, they don't know what to do, and they've got this deer and it's flopping all over the woods. So, they figured out the only way to kill this deer without shooting at it is to drown it. So they drag it over to a puddle, a stream, a small pond, I don't know what it was, but they basically held this deer underwater until the bubbles stopped coming out of its nose. Listen, I'll probably get in trouble for telling this story, but it's one of the funniest stories I've ever heard. And the way he told that story, we were crying laughing. It was gut-ache type laughing.

Detmer: Hygiene wasn't really his thing at the time either. I remember we played at the old Cleveland Stadium and the locker room was tiny. We were sharing lockers. He'd hang his underwear up on the hook and there's a big yellow stain in them. Guys were like, "What the heck?" He's just laughing, like, "What? What's the problem?" He really didn't care.

favre finds lead pipe and cracks a-rod on the elbow before leaving the tunnel

a-rod last heard screaming "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

favre runs down the tunnel yelling "not on my night bitch"

I got back fr. my Country Home in New Brunswick to Greenfield Park, Quebec { Home of the Greenfield Park Packers} just in time to enjoy Brett Favre's Number Retirement Game Ceremony I witness this event at Hooters Sports Bar. The Official Sports Bar for the Green Bay Packers in greater Montreal, Quebec. Nothing at Hooters could distract me from my focus on all things Favre that evening...LOL. I've never felt prouder as a Sports fan. He looked amazing...in awesome condition and well .... I never saw him look more fit. It was especially moving to witness the respect he showed for Bart Starr. The exuberance he demonstrated hugging his former teammates was notable.

As usual FAVRE gave the most credit for his success to his teammates and the Packer fans. As man that loved watching Brett Favre play the way only he could.... the good and the bad and the ugly. . . . hahahaa; I was so happy to witness this occasion on LIVE TV.


It was so sad for me to see the Packers stink up the joint on this Special night. Favre dominated the Chicago Bears during his career.

All the same with the good there is often the bad. I wanted to see a Packer win on that night and was disappointed in the way the team didn't perform. All that aside and commenting on this night and Brett Favre. I was busting with pride for this awesome Green Bay Packer. Soon he'll be in the NFL HOF as a first ballot candidate. I anticipate that with all patience.

BFFF!!!!

[Infamous]

I wonder if they will discuss and/or talk to Lord about his magical night in Oak after papi died...wasnt that last time we played at Oak?

[Fritz]

Imagine a tribute to Najeh Davenport...."I'll never forget that night he shit in a laundry basket! Good times, good times."

But I bet ol' Brent has a few stories like that...

[MadtownPacker]

Still calling #4 "Brent" is a pussy move. Don't forget his name is spelled right in Lambeau's ring.

[mraynrand]

I love Bert, but I love my T-shirt:



I might wear it to the HOF induction ceremony next year. Gotta have a sense of humor about this stuff, otherwise you are just a pathetic, obsequious jock sniffer. No false idols!

[Patler]

You guys really need to show more respect to old Mr. Pharve.

[Freak Out]

I plan on wearing my Favre Jet Jersey to the game....what color Crocs was he wearing?

I don't know why, but that t-shirt still cracks me up. He'll always be "Brent" to me now, not out of any anger or anything, but because it's kinda funny.

[Joemailman]

There were the people who trashed Favre. There were the people who booed Aaron Rodgers as he took the field on Family Night. Both were wrong in my opinion. I'm not offended by either, but neither make me laugh.

There's one thing I've learned in my longer than most here time and experience:

Haters will remain haters. That's just what their low self esteem makes them do. Hater sweep common sense out the door. Hating is the best juice that they have. I always wonder whenever I encounter a hater:

Was that person left alone on a table at diaper changing time and somehow land on the floor on their noggin? Haters are often in such emotional need that this approach to HATE is just one way they need to drag attention to feed their impoverished ego needs.

Packerrats had several of these poor souls. Gradually we've seen them wither and just die away. Somewhere out there they remain hating an outstanding Packer HOFer and soon to be a first ballot new member of the NFL HOF.

That a tribute to his overall body of work as an NFL QB who won wherever he played and played as tough a style and was as dedicated to his will to compete as any Pro athlete I've seen in over 5.5 decades of being an eclectic sports fan.

Brett Favre gave me so very much.

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!

It isn't always about hate, Woodbuck. If that were the case, everyone from professional comedians to family smart alecs would be a hater; and they aren't.

I respect what Favre did as a pro athlete, but even while he played for the Packers, for me he never ascended to the deity level that some put him on. That was just my opinion, as a fan. When he left GB, I think he showed a side of his personality that for some fans is more significant than it is for other fans. It has nothing to do with hating. Different people attach different levels of significance to different traits.

Some will excuse almost anything from those who entertain us, whether it be athletes, actors or other performers. Others want to hold those same people to almost unhumanly standards of conduct. Still others fall somewhere on the scale between the two extremes.

I sincerely doubt you are kidding. At least about the diapers.

I knew you wouldn't let me down, Rand.
