brett favre bioBefore I begin my wild speculation of what each chapter will detail, we are all well aware of Favre's adultery, when he professed his love to that one blonde girl at the same time Chris Elliott, Matt Dillon and Ben Stiller also tried to win her heart. But the painkiller addiction is news to me.
Other revelations, I've been told by myself, that will appear in the hypothetical biography:
Chapter 1: Brett Favre runs a fire ant fighting ring in Mississippi, and tortures the losing ants with a magnifying glass.
Chapter 4: Brett Favre pays off local police offers to keep quiet his illegal sales of black market Prilosec.
Chapter 9: Brett Favre murders Dorsey Levens.
Chapter 12: The night before Super Bowl XXXI, Brett Favre walks down to the corner to buy a newspaper, but when he deposits 50 cents into the machine, he lifts up the door and takes two copies.
Chapter 13: Brett Favre and Mark Chmura place bets on a race between homeless people Green Bay, with the loser being forced to attend a post-prom party. Right before the race, Favre hires a hitman to shiv the homeless guy that Chmura bet on.
Chapter 17: Brett Favre murders Harry Potter.
And I've just learned that Favre threw his 421th career touchdown, breaking the record. Fitting.

Birthplace: Gulfport, Mississippi
Best Known As: The star 1990s quarterback who keeps un-retiring
The starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers from 1992-2007, Brett Favre has thrown more touchdown passes than any quarterback in NFL history. Like the career of Johnny Unitas, Favre's career had an inauspicious start: after being drafted by the NFL's Atlanta Falcons in 1991 (in the second round, the 33rd pick overall), he played only two games with Atlanta before being traded to Green Bay in 1992. He went on to win the NFL Most Valuable Player award three times (1995-97), led the Packers to a victory in Super Bowl XXXI (1996), and broke franchise passing records set by beloved Green Bay legend Bart Starr. Favre is known as a fierce competitor who likes to sling the ball; he also has a reputation for toughness and for shrugging away injuries, and he holds the record for most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks. In his last few years with Green Bay, Favre hinted at retirement; he finally did retire in March of 2008, but then unretired in August of that year, and the Packers traded him to the New York Jets. After a strong start, the Jets finished that season poorly and Favre again retired from football. But! He un-retired again in 2009, signing a two-year contract to play for the Minnesota Vikings.
Favre broke the record for touchdown passes on 30 September 2007, when he threw his 421st and 422nd against the Minnesota Vikings in a 23-16 Packer win... Favre shared the 1997 NFL MVP award with Detroit running back Barry Sanders... Favre is the first and only NFL player to win the MVP award three seasons in a row.

Here are Brett Favre’s daughters in soft lighting. One day they will probably join Ali Lohan in rehab/therapy.Advantage: Brett Favre (on the presumption that I will get to watch my prediction go down on Dr. Drew someday. Reality TV is the shit.)States:
Minnesota is where Sarah Palin magically gets her accent. It also looks like a hat. Lame.Pennsylvania has two notable cities, one with wonderful sports teams and fans. What lies in between those two cities either doesn’t count, or is a land of nice people that just happen to make homage to the Jaromir Jagr mullet on a daily basis.

Brett Favre profileSo here we are with another NFL football season upon us. Change is to be expected. There will be some new rules on the boards and revisions made to old ones. Teams, players and coaches have changed locations. One thing that no one factored into the new upcoming NFL season is Brett Favre. Yes sports fans it is true, Brett Favre and all the drama surrounding him is set to take its ungratefull place in the 2009 NFL football season.
Flashback to the end of last season when Brett Favre announced he would retire as quarterback of the New York Jets. There was a collective sigh of relief heard around the league that there would be no BF drama in the off season. Who could forget the temper tantrum that played out between Favre and the Green Bay Packers at the end of the 2007 season. All was quiet on the Favre off season front until the New York Jets removed him from their ‘reserve/retired’ list paving the way for new team colors for BF. This time around the lucky team in Favre’s sight line was the Minnesota Vikings.
There was initial interest on both sides for a deal to be reached that would make Favre a Viking. The team asked and got no response. Favre inquired and got no response. Both sides remained fairly quiet to the media. Fast forward to today when the Vikings eagerly awaited a response from Favre camp. As the day progressed with no answer in sight, inquiring minds heard a simple ‘nope’ when asking Favre’s agent if an answer would appear before the stroke of midnight. Instead Favre answer time has been moved to early next week.
Once upon a time Brett Favre was regarded as one of the best players to take center stage in the NFL. His records spoke for themselves. His playing ability on the field left many speechless. All of this has been erased in the minds of players, coaches and sports fans thanks to the drama filled off-seasons of 2007 and 2008. Gone are the MVP and Superbowl seasons of the 90’s. Gone is the September 2006 game when he became only the second quarterback to register 400 touchdown passes. Gone is the 2007 season ending game where he scored his 18th consecutive post-season touchdown pass, a team record. It was to be on that shinning moment that Favre walked away from the game with his head held high.
Today Favre’s head can no longer be held up high. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether Favre will make an NFL appearance ‘just one more time’ this season. What I would like to know is who in the hell Brett Favre thinks he is? Seriously – enough already! Put on your big boy underpants and make a flippin decision already. Not that anyone cares one way or another. We would just like to put all the Favre drama behind us and move forward. All the drama, all the tears, all the speculation has added up to one thing – a big headache. Favre has tarnished his reputation, his records and his image in the minds of players, coaches and sports fans. These are things that are not soon forgotten in the sports world. I just hope that the ride to whatever Brett Favre is seeking has been worth his fall from grace!
Brett Favre
We had the great pleasure of being invited by Tommie Harris to travel to Green Bay and see him and the Chicago Bears take on (…AND BEAT, of course…) the Green Bay Packers on October 7, 2007. GO BEARS! This was the game Brett Favre threw for 424 touchdowns, setting one more record. Wow! Actually, I think he set several records during this game. Tommie was with the team, focusing on the game, but he managed to grab some dinner with us at the hotel before the game. After dinner we went to the game with Bill Horn, Tommie’s Publicity Agent, and sat with some of Tommie’s friends, which included his pastor from Chicago. It was a blessing to meet and enjoy the game with them! Great guys! It was a clutch time, for sure! The atmosphere was incredible, the Green Bay fans were fun and friendly… it was good times and amazing to be at such a legendary place. And man, do the Green Bay fans love Brett! Don’t we all! Watching Brett run out on that field was absolutely surreal! The whole experience was surreal.
Tommie told me, a couple of weeks before this game, that Brett was one of the only QBs he ‘had NOT’ sacked! And he was able to sack him twice in this game. Bret & his Packers played a tough game, and Brett was his usual amazing self, but my Bears prevailed and Tommie’s play was ‘clutch!’ It was an exciting, ‘edge-of-your-seat ‘ game to the last second. Here are just a few photos of our memorable trip. Hope you enjoy! And Tommie, thanks, we love you and will never forget it!
Brett Favre profile images
I just can’t do another offseason of Brett Favre and his desire to play football after “retiring.”
Favre is scheduled to meet with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress later this week to discuss the possibility of coming back (once effin again) for the
2009 season.
I don’t wish injury upon any athlete normally, but it would bring me joy if he got Tom Brady’ed Week 1 of the NFL season and was gone for the year.
Why the Vikings by the way?
Besides the fact he would get to play alongside Adrian Peterson, he would get two cracks at the Green Bay Packers during the regular season.
Nothing would make the ageless wonder happier than burning Green Bay at Lambeau Field.
And nothing would make me happier than Packers linebacker Nick Barnett putting Favre on his back.

Brett Favre
Yesterday marked the end of an era. One of the greatest QBs to ever play in the NFL hung up his cleats for the last time. He was great because he played full-out. He left nothing in the tank and everything on the field. He played to win. There are many people in life that rather than playing to win, they play to avoid losing. Playing to win is an entirely different mindset, and it is what separates average performers from high performers. He was not afraid to take risks because he had no fear of losing. Losing was not the worst thing that could happen. Giving less than everything in order to win was.
I watched with sadness as he said his goodbyes. He was gripped with the emotion of a man who was passionate about what he did, who he did it with, and who he did it for. There are a lot of lessons that run in parallel with my post from yesterday (Burning Man). But I’d like to highlight a few parting quotes from Favre:

Brett Favre From the Green Bay Press-Gazette: If Brett Favre signs to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in the next week or two, his family and friends will be ready for his one game back in Green Bay
About two months ago, a member of Favre’s inner circle blocked off 25 to 30 rooms at the Midway Motor Lodge near Lambeau Field for the weekend of the Vikings game against the Packers on Nov. 1.
