BRETT FAVRE

This is my mini-salute to Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre...one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) Quarterbacks to ever play the game. I've been a fan of the Green Bay Packers since long before Brett Favre arrived on the scene (Lynn Dickey, anyone?) and I've enjoyed following his career for the past 14+ years.

It is in honor of Favre's 200th consecutive start as Green Bay's QB, I present this tribute... Thank you, Brett! For making every Football Sunday special all these years.
