I don`t cry very bloody often guys, and believe me when I saw Favre playing yesterday against a Hapless Oakland Raiders side hellbent on trying to mess with his head I cried like a f**ken little school girl.
On the night his father died, Brett Favre addressed the Green Bay Packers in an emotional team meeting. He said he had no intention of leaving his football family, even at one of the lowest points in his life.
The next day, Favre played his heavy heart out, inspiring his teammates to do great things.
Favre passed for 399 yards and four touchdowns a day after his father's death, moving into second place in NFL history for career TD passes while leading the Packers to a 41-7 victory against the Oakland Raiders.
HE SAID IT:
"I knew that my dad would have wanted me to play," Favre said. "I love him so much, and I love this game. It's meant a great deal to me, to my dad, to my family, and I didn't expect this kind of performance. But I know he was watching tonight."
I personally don`t think that i`ve ever seen Brett Favre play a better passing game in his career,and i`ve seen most of his games. completing 22-30 passes alot of them over 20 yards too! my god it was short of spectacular.
On the sideline in the fourth quarter, he embraced wife Deanna before they headed home to Mississippi. "What he had to deal with today was unmeasurable," receiver Antonio Freeman said. "You can't put a price on what he did tonight. I don't know how he did it, but he did it in fine fashion."
Favre got a respectful ovation from the normally vicious Raider Nation when he was announced as a starter in his 205th consecutive game, an NFL record for quarterbacks.
