He made the pro-bowl by playing well for the first 2/3 of the season.

So NFL Network is reairing tons of old Packer games today - Favre's first win, '95 NFC championship, Oakland MNF, Superbowl victory.
As I rewatch the '95 NFCC vs. Dallas (now almost doubled my age) - it's apparent Favre should have played in a few more Superbowls (first play of the game was a close incomplete pass returned by the pack for a TD, then we block a punt and toss a TD only to have it called back for delay of game... a huge no call on a pick that let Deon take the ball within red zone --- all in the first half of the first Q. Then Favre throws an INT inside our 10 to Leon Lett... only to come back and complete his first pass for a 73y TD strike to Brooks.). That was the 1st Quarter. Favre was wild - tons of overthrows, Reggie was a beast and the Cowboys were flashy coke fiends (and dirty hits - Jurkovic would've whooped Eric Williams in a street brawl). Then Favre hits Jackson and takes the lead early in 2nd Q - despite 2 terrible calls, a stupid penalty that cost them 4 points and a Favre INT that cost them 7 more. Really - should've been 21 to 7 (or 21-3) at that point!
Imagine if the Pack was able to play the Steelers (95/96), then win the Superbowl vs. the Pats, went to another (Denver loss) and could have went to one more (Giants NFCC) possibly three (SF divisional game with the no call fumble, 4th & 22).
So many close games/losses.
Glad Favre got his ring - but man - he could've had a few more without stretching much...The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Talking more about the hate he portrayed this last year. That is not the Favre that I loved supporting all these years and I do not want to go though another year of that. I want all my memories of Favre when I get older to be good. It is time for him to call it a career.Originally posted by Harlan HucklebyDraft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!Comment

This is a good article on Favre.
I've heard enough on Andrew Brandt to consider him a mixed bag. A good guy, it seems, but a definite practitioner of the "Tennessee handshake"
This shows 'ol Andy's warm side. It jibes with my impression of BF.

Great Article; those who have turned on him should read about the personTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

In his recent news conference, BF came across as a very likeable and straight-forward person.
But then we also hear in that conference (between the lines) that he is holding a grudge against Ted Thompson for ridiculous reasons. Prima Donna stuff.
There is good and bad in him. I don't think the people who have "turned against him" deny the likeable and admirable parts. I'd say it is more accurate to say that his extreme fans ignore his Prima Donna side.Comment

OK, I gotta know. What is "Tennessee Handshake"?Originally posted by KYPack
Is that when you are greeting with one hand and removing money from the billfold with the other?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Oh yeah.Originally posted by pbmaxOK, I gotta know. What is "Tennessee Handshake"?Originally posted by KYPack

Lotta Wisconsin people on here.
Guess you could call it the "Illinois handshake".
The Tennessee Handshake is when you shake the guy's hand with your right hand and slip a knife in his back with your left.
Think Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban.Comment

How does everyone else feel about this quote:
?Originally posted by Andrew Brandt of NFP
Because getting pregnant in HS or College with the QB's child (and then sticking it out even though he didn't marry her) always left me with the impression that Deanna won the lottery on that day. So when I read Brandt's line it was the exact opposite of my impression.
Now I do not mean to disparage Mrs. Favre, and one decision/mistake/accident does not define the totality of a person. And I know only some of the public information about their relationship. She may well be best human being Favre knows. But I am not sure the millionaire 100 times over has outkicked anything here.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

You should read her book; great gift for a chick too. Fast reading.

I just pray BF stays retired time and doesn't pull any shennanigans about getting the itch this spring! I find the entire senario of him in purple absolutely revolting.

I agree 100%. She has a way of presenting her husband in a very sub-hero way.......like he's a real guy.Originally posted by BretskyComment

Makes a person wonder why this thread was started. Brett Favre winning with the Jets and a large portion of the forum didn't want to hear anything about Brett Favre........"this is a Packer forum....keep the BF talk in one thread". How things have changed. Now he retires and some want to get in their last few jabs.......8 threads on the 1st page of the Packer forum. Hypocritical and sad some of you.Comment
