I was listening to Armed Forces Radio (from Germany via USA) and I remember reading my Ray Nitschke Packer Report about this kid Favre a week later (got it from '91 to '97) then the internet came into my world for good. My best friend is/was a Falcons fan and he loved that trade...at the time
My friend did say that Favre was probably a rich mans Billy Joe Tolliver

I was 10 and like Nutz, I would go outside and play football on every commercial and during half time. After teh game me, my bro's and teh neighbor kids would play football.
The good old days. I remember being excited about him, but I was so young that it isn't very clear what I thought of himFormerly known as JustinHarrell.

I was just in my second year as a new Oregonian when I saw the halftime highlights of the new Packers QB, Brett Favre. He had just completed his first touchdown pass. Absolutely ecstatic, Favre rushed to the receiver(it might have been Chumura) and tackled him in the end zone. The commentators said something to the effect of "That's the hardest hit Chumura has received today!'
Seeing Favre's exuberance, I remember thinking, "This is just what the Packers need to pull themselves out of the doldrums!"

Don't remember if I was watching the game, at the time I was still a Cleveland Browns fan living in exile : ) I have seen the replays so often if feels like I watched the game, but possibly not.
Everyone I knew thought Favre was a spaz, just like FavreChild's grandfather. By the end of that year I had decided Favre might be good enough to become the next Terry Bradshaw. That's damning with faint praise from a Brown's fan.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I also remember when they were negotiating his first contract since first being signed to the packers, I think it was prior to the '95 season....he was making a stink about how he wouldn't sign for less than $5 million a year and I was like "oh, let this idiot walk, he's not worth that money".
Yes, this was back when he was still very unpredictable.... gosh, so glad Wolf didn't listen to me

Didn't you say you were only 13 now.Originally posted by BallHawkI was 17 days old.
Anyways, I was about 5 years old so I don't remember his first start (although I've seen it so much its almost like I did). My earliest memory of Brett was the 1994 season, the year before he won his first MVP.Draft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!
