and this has what to do with the Bears? It's a fucking locker. If it's so memorable then put remove it and put it in the HOF and put a new locker in its place.

Brett Favre is absolute, definitive proof that if the sports media likes you.....you can get away with anything.He popped pills and he made horrible, horrible throws/decisions in his last 4-6 years (especially at home in the playoffs!) and somehow he got a free pass on all of it. Sure, it helped he played in Green Bay and not NY but still. Damn journalists.

Agree, but Chicago sports fans have no room to talk. Every year we have to listen to them bitch about their shitty baseball team(s), and it's just as annoying.

He was a great player, but the love of him transcends his on field performance, because of his everyman nature. He has set all kinds of NFL passing longevity records, including touchdowns, interceptions, and consecutive games played ( which probably is his most impressive achievement, as the NFL QB takes a pounding). He struggled to overcome a bit of a party nature, and an addiction early in his career, to achieve greatness. He is considered a "gun slinger" who will improvise and is a play maker. He also is, at times, a bad decision maker who throws bad passes he thinks he can muscle the ball through and throws bad interceptions. He has a "good ole boy" persona, of a country kid who has alot of fun on the football field, and as such is beloved by average white men across the country. He's won a superbowl, lost another, is responsible for many playoff wins and losses, throwing his team in and out of games. Stylistically, he's an exciting QB to watch. He's won several MVP's and has had several really impressive statistical seasons, and few rather bad ones late in his career. He has many merits, and his flaws make him even more appealing to some people. He's played almost his entire career with the Green Bay Packers ( a signature NFL franchise that is in the smallest NFL market by far, and is owned, literally, by the town of Green Bay, in a public trust), and is associated by many with that club. I think that covers the cliff notes brett farve.

All true. He had poor receivers from 1999-2002 which killed some of his prime. And the Monday night game after his dad died was probably one of the more intense experiences of my life and I don't try and take sports too seriously.

I find it strange that someone else playing a game the monday after their father died is one of the most intense experiences of your life. But such is the beautification of Brett Favre. 50 millions average white american males live vicariously through him, is really the secret of his popularity.

It was more the complete exposure of himself to a national audience. A lot of his good 'ole boy act, loving to the play the game is manufactured to an extent but that night was completely genuine. And the way he just threw passes as hard as he could that night and somehow every single receiver had the game of their life and came down with these passes made it pretty intense. I'm not a religious man but there almost seemed to be strange things at work that night.

Thanks for the cliff notes. You were probably vomiting at the time but Frank Lampards penalty agaisnt Liverpool in the champions league semi final to clinch it, just days after his mother died was pretty emotional and gripping. Especially when he scored and just looked to the sky and kissed his black band. I hate Lampard but I got wrapped up in that one.Right I've spent too long in the rugbyx1000 more pads and advertisements forum.
