  • When Brett Favre started his first game, you were.....

    There are certain events in life where you will always remember what you were doing and it's like you remember them as if it were just yesterday. Well, when Brett made his first start should be no exception

    When Majik went down and then Mr. Favre started the following week... I was starting my 2nd year of college. I remember saying "Well, he better do something, we wasted a 1st round pick on this dude."

    Anyhow, it's funny that as now I slowly crawl into my 30's that Brett came to us when I was still a teenager. God help the Packers and let him play until he's 40.... as it's hard to imagine another Qb besides ol #4.

    It's going to hurt for some of us.

    Not for others.

    Back East, they get alot of Packer games or used to.

    I re-call when he first came on the stage for us, that he was so wild with enthuiasm - so full of piss and vinegar, that he immediately got under my skin.

    Favre to me is like a good drug. I'm addicted. After him - I'll kick all addictions to a Packer player.

    Brett Favre will always be, my good drug of choice and off the market one day. Noone else.

      I was 12 and a diehard fan. I remember walking outside and crying to my Dad that Majikman was hurt bad and someone I've never heard of was playing QB. By the end of the day, I knew he was gonna be special. Funny thing was, my parents and brothers weren't fans - but they are now!

              I too was 19 when Brett came over. I was fully entrenched in Packer homerism and took him the supplemental draft during the 92 fantasy season. Favre Sharpe and Sanders carried me a long way that year.

              Imagine, they could have actually played on the same team.

                but i do remember where i was when majik went down and brett took over. i was in crivitz for a mini family reunion at the little motel just west of town. i remember all of us huddled aroud a little TV all packed in a tiny little room watching that last drive. i was a freshman in high school

                  If Sharpe and Sanders were playing with Majikowski, the packers might not have been bad enough to hire a general manager with the balls to trade a 1st round pick for a 3rd string quarterback.

                    I was at my grandma's and my dad was screaming at the TV, calling the new guy a "spaz." What a roller coaster ride.

                      I was just out of the USMC and figuring out if I wanted to re-enlist or go to college.

                      I knew Favre was going to be special then, we we're the same age. We drank to much, couldn't behave or follow the rules.

                      I remember the arguments over how to spell and say his last name.

                      can't believe its been 14 years

                        Favre

                        Back then, there was no NFL package on tv so as I had done all my life living here in Chicago, I was in sitting my car listening to WTMJ. The car radio was the only radio that brought in a clear enough signal. Jim and Max were my "second" family.

                        I was not a big Majik fan, so when Favre came in, I remembered praying to God to help the new QB out. Boy did He ever! Come to think of it, Brett owes me BIG-TIME!

                          I believe I was watching at Mannings bar on the U of M campus. I was 22 years old.

                            I believe I was 14 years years old, and in 8th grade. I remember being excited because it was like the first game that T-Buck was playing in. Majik went out, and to me he was like a god. Up until Favre came to Green Bay, All I had was that 1989 season.

                            At 14 I couldn't sit still so I remember running in and out of the house, I would go out in the drive way and pelt my backboard with the football during comercials and at halftime, my buddy and I would toss the ball around. I still don't know how the hell they pulled that game out, especially wihen T-Buck fumbled that punt.

                              I was 13 and i was sitting in my grandmas van with my dad in Wisconsin Dells. We were waiting for my mom and grandma to finish shopping for crafts and we were listening to the game like who the hell is Brett Favre. I don't think i've missed a game since.
