My Brett Favre Blog

Brett Favre just simply has fun playing football. So much of the joy for fans and spectators alike is simply witnessing Brett kind of make it up as he goes in his approach to playing the game of professional football. How many times did he just blow peoples minds by throwing a lateral pass to one of his team mates at the very last possible spit second to avoid being sacked or tackled and then have the recipient turn a horrible loss into a huge saving gain in yardage. As serious of a big money proposition as pro sports are, nobody has reintroduced pure fun back into the game like Brett Favre has during his professional football career. As a fan I say thank you Brett for this. Pro sports can be so all about the money or personal promotion. This is part of how the ultimate quarterback number 4 has accomplished what he has. I am thrilled that we can continue to enjoy witnessing him play the sport even if it is in a uniform other than the Green Bay Packers.

Talent and the ability to make the huge play out of nothing are nearly magic at this level. The man has lived and breathed football for nearly his entire life. Brett is definitely known for his taking of chances, hence the danger factor. If chances are not ever taken however, then it is a bit harder to generate spontaneous magic in the game. This is definitive of Brett Favre's unique playing style. It is somewhat like the old saying that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Sure there is playing it safe, but then Brett Favre did not earn his way into the record books in such a phenomenal fashion by playing it safe.

Entertainment from spontaneity is a major part of this football hero's appeal. In this role he has been Broadway Brett Favre for many years before ever joining the New York Jets NFL franchise. This name just rehashes the old Joe Namath nickname, not exactly a stroke of nickname originality as it goes; but then again Brett was not involved in this decision. We could apply Hollywood Brett or President Brett just the same. Long live the Brett Favre Saga.
