To be able to go out and have an incredible performance like that, on the road, the day after your father dies...unbelievable. Sure its just a game, but its still his job, and an extremely mentally and physically challanging one, and he did it completely perfectly even under those situations. Way to go #4.

Those of us from Wisconsin have been watching Favre his whole career. He sets an example for his team and the rest of the NFL. He is a true role model and a true class act. Since he became a starter in 1992, the other 31 teams have had over 155 different starters.(average of five per team) His father was a great guy. After home games Irv would come on Packer Radio Network and talk with the guys and tell it like it is....if they played great he said so...if they stunk up the joint, he said so. I will really miss his special insights and humor.

May Gods Peace be with Brett and his family during this time of pain

i got to meet brett a few years ago, he is a very impressive person to talk with. and his father was with him, and you could tell they were close.

its good to see him do what a pro should...when you are playing the game, that is all that matters.

Even though I'm a Bears fan, I'd never want to put even a Packer through something like that. Good to see he destroyed a defense that isn't from Chicago :).

his performance (on the football field) was impressive tonight. 311 passing yards in the first half!

I wonder about his priorities. He put football ahead of his family. I would have spent that time with my family.

In five years, football and this forum will forget about Favre if not hate him because he will be too beat up to throw the ball.

But, it is still his job. As minute as some might consider his job, its still his job, he gets paid millions to do it. I find it quite admirable to be able to do that.

Also, most others would have just been lying down crying, this guy overcame that and did what he could to forget it.

Like I wrote, it is a matter of what is important to you In the long run, family is much more important than a football game or how much money you make.

Did you register just to post this? :) Greetings from a fellow wisconsin fan.

Favre played like a warrior tonite. Fitting that it was the best performance of his year. His recievers did an amazing job too.

YOu would think their last conversation went something like that. It was probably a "win this for dad" type of thing.

i like favre and he is a good QB and all, but part of his performance had to do with the non-existant Oakland secondary

Brett's Family encouraged and wanted him to play. Its what his father would have wanted. His father would have been proud of him and his wife flew out to Oakland to be with him and they are leaving tonight for Miss.

Football and the Packers are very important to the Favre family and Irv was at many home games.

PS I have been registered since October.

And what do you know about his situation? Do you even know who his father was and how important football was to his father? If anything his near record setting performance tonight was an obvious tribute to the man that football meant so much to. He has his priorities in line. It's not like he missed the wake or the funeral. His family even encouraged him to go play. He has his priorities in line. Cut him some slack instead of questioning what he does with his life.

Forget about Farve, right. EVERYONE in football is going to forget about him and all of his years of playing and all the memories he has given us. Please. He will probably become a commentator anyway.
