Brett Favre……an old favorite..
I’ve told you before I’m a big sports junkie. And, Brett Favre is a 38 year old athlete that can still get the attention of folks everywhere. He is 6′2″ and weighs in the neighborhood of 222. He is from Gulfport, Mississippi and played his college football at Southern Mississippi. He was drafted in 1991 in the 2nd round as the sixth pick by the Atlanta Falcons. Presently he is wears the number 4 as the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.
Lots of folks say his career is winding down but the fact of the matter is, he is still a fairly successful quarterback, just not quite as flamboyant as he once was. For now, he has ranks 95.7 in the quarterback rankings and I don’t know about you, but that’s not a bad score. In the last four games, he has complete 60 of 96 attempts for 743 yards. So, there you go. The question is, will his team make it to the Super Bowl? And, if they do, will this be his last year?
This is his 17th season (16th as a Packer) in the NFL. He has passed Dan Marino (and oh how I loved Dan Marino) for the most career passing yards to set a new NFL record. You gotta figure if the man can play 16 years in the snow of Green Bay, he deserves all the wonderment that he gets.
How about the photos? Oh, yes, I have those too.
Who can resist the scruffy look of a family man when he is surrounded by those beautiful little girls. He really is awesome eh?
And, the Boyfriend Mascot? Well, he is always looking good.

[...] some tall receivers. Anyway, have you looked at Roethlisberger? Have you watched him play? Well, I don’t care too much about watching him play when he is all covered up. [...]
