Best Favre Memory

[Lurker64]

The one that's always going to stick with me is Favre's 9-yard rollout rushing touchdown against the Falcons to win the game in the waning seconds against Atlanta.

Probably not the greatest one in his career, but it was a seminal moment in my personal Favre canon.

Great story JPompo.

I have to say the Oakland game. I dont think you will ever again see the raiders fans cheer on an opposing QB that was creaming their team.

I'll pick his very first touchdown pass. Who was that to, Sanjay Beach or some other one-year-wonder.

no that was a one-play wonder named ketrick (sp) taylor.

the long pass to sharp against detroit in the playoffs and the ot bomb to jennings against denver are my favorites. a thousand more are right behind them.

This is a really interesting read. An article on JSO from August 1992. I think there are a lot of telling comments by him. One that he's a good guy, but almost cocky in his abilities. Lot of truth to his statements, and he made a lot of good on them too (he did get them a Super Bowl and they needed a foundation and he was it).

Oakland game. That's the game, even after all those years, that made you think "Damn, this guy is just something else."

Fun.

Not so fun.

Favre revitalized the Pack

A look at the Green Bay Packers and how they did in the 16 years before Brett Favre, and in his 16 seasons with the team:

Category            Before Favre  With Favre
Winning Pct.       .406           .629
Division titles     0              7
10-win seasons      1              9
Playoff wins        1              11

one of my favs was the T.D, pass to Sharpe at detroit in the playoffs. I can still remember the calll on tmj radio.

Irwin... Run Brett run oh no... then Mcgee ...He's wide open Touchdown.

Does anyone remember if Favre ever did the Lambeau leap?

the first time I met him and got to talk to him for like 10 minutes. It was at the groundbreaking ceremony for his restaurant in GB. For whatever reason, none of the media outlets where there, it wasn't publicized at all. Therefore, only about 25 people attended. The same 25 people who were watching him leave practice one day and he said to us "come on over to that empty space of land behind Stadium View" blah blah...I don't remember what else he said after that.

My first words to him "OMG, can I shake your hand?" Second words" Can I have a hug?" Then after I stopped acting like a little girl, I managed to have a halfway decent conversation with him about a few things. I see Packers all the time around town and it doesn't phase me a bit. But the starstruckness (if that's a word) never went away when it came to Brett!

He did once, last season against Arizona.

And some of us will always be VERY envious! Good memory to have GBR....good for you.
