38-Year-Old Quarterback Still Has It

Brett Favre, the 38-year-old quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has been in the NFL since 1991. Favre has been known for his Monday night games, where he's done unimaginable things, and has a career of 57 touchdowns just on Monday night. One of his most memorable was the night after his father died of a sudden heart attack and Favre played the MNF game against the Oakland Raiders. Favre passed for 399 yds and 4 td's while completing 73% of his passes. However last night Favre did something that he hasn't had to do since he was first moved to Green Bay, and that was to prove himself. For the past few years Favre has been criticized by analyst over whether or not he can still play, or complete the long pass he's been known for. Last night during overtime against the Denver Broncos, Favre completed an 82-yard pass on the first play of overtime, ending the game. I've always loved watching Favre play and have been one of the few of my friends who have been supportive of him coming back to play the past couple years. Or at least supportive amongst the group of friends. Favre has been the best quarterback I've been able to see play and to see him still succeed after so many years out there and so much criticism just makes me smile.
