Cleft Crusty highly recommends watching this game. Not only will you see all the attributes that made Favre one of the top 10 QBs of all time, you will also see all the attributes that prevented him from being THE best of all time. In addition, you'll get a glimpse at the third best WR in Packer history, Sterling Sharpe (Lofton, Hutson). If you look up in the Press Box in the third Quarter, you may also get a glimpse of 'Ole Clefty doubled over with appendicitis. I had emergency surgery right after I submitted my story.Comment

thats the brett i remember hating with a passionComment

i never hated him. i loved majik but i was on-board with Brett from this game on. he reminded of elway so much. it would piss off my Packer buddies when i said so. it's gonna be real different not having him around but i'm excited to see what the future will be like. Rodgers has the skills if he can just stay healthy...but you can say that about anyone.Comment

lol, an on field reporter grabs kitrick taylor right after the game and runs him over to a camera with a huge smile on his face, thinking he's going to interview the big story of the game
while favre walks off the field, with just one camera next to him
whoops
taylor played 6 seasons in the nfl, and that was his only tdComment

See? That was news. No other reporter ever got an interview with Taylor after he scored the touchdown. It's an exclusive, baby!!!Originally posted by red"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Always wondered who was the first announcer to dub Brett "The Gunslinger".
I assumed it was John Madden.
In the Bengal Pack broadcast, Ahmad Rashad commented a few plays after Brett's first completion that Favre was a gunslinger.
Favre's moniker coined by Ahmad Rashad ?
How shitty.
There were several Packers I totally forgot. Buford McGee could've dropped down from Mars for all I remember.
Wolfman should've kept both Paup & tony Bennet. Man. they were good backers.Comment

Actually, Brett was solid his rookie year. Had a couple of bad games, but was more good than bad. He even made the Pro Bowl. He then regressed his second year. He was horrible in 1993 (the playoff game at Detroit notwithstanding) and started off 1994 shaky also. The light went off, and the rest was history after that.Originally posted by red"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.
