hoosier:
Packer fan I can assure YOU of this as 'a fact of life' and me as a Packer fan and a Sports fan for over years:
No way anyone is going to convince me that Brett Favre wasn't in any football game.
That man absolutely was tops and being totally into his sport. Many believe he was the Greatest Iron Man of any sport not just tops for all playing position players in NFL history.
Brett Favre got into game ready mode when too many others would certainly and did sit that game out. At near the end of his career didn't you see the abuse the NO Saints put on him and how he just wouldn't lie down !? He wasn't called ' The Gunslinger ' for no other reason than his will to win a football game. To simply give all he had in him. No other Pro athlete will likely replicate Brett Favre and courage /determination.
I used the word shock that he was in 'shock' Vs the NY GIANTS in the 2007 NFC Championship game because I truly believe that frigid day placed him there. It was fricken cold and Favre was obviously looking frigid and shivering. MM made his team prepare for that Cold Weather game with all week being very cold how? The Packers practised indoors and when Favre hit that field on that frigid day for that important game he was very likely in shock.
Do I really have to explain to a Packer fan why Favre might have felt some boredom (be 'bored') and playing the Chicago Bears !? I mean really that word is again very appropriate and Brett Favre and Bears:
On December 5, 1993 Brett Favre passed for 402 passing yards in a 30-17 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field. Despite losing this game it might be described as a significant game (or a Coming Of Age Game) for Brett Favre at the start of a long and to become HOFER Career. Why !? That game Vs the Chicago Bears was his single game career high for passing yards in a Packers uniform. Brett Favre would go on to love playing the Bears.
From 1994-1998: The Packers beat the Bears 10 regular season games in a row over a five season span led by Brett Favre. During that streak. Brett Favre threw 25 touchdowns to go with 2,303 combined passing yards.
On Dec. 31, 2006: The 2006-07 Chicago Bears, the most successful team since the ’85 Superbowl team; went into that Week 17 primetime matchup looking to beat the Packers for the second time that season, and improve to 14-2. Instead they ran into a focused Packers team who ended up beating them 26-7.
