    • Favre brought us everything from a controversial record-breaking sack to a performance on Monday Night, just a day after his father’s death, that none of us will ever forget during this stretch. An emotional game which Favre posted 250 yards through the air by halftime.

    Brett Favre played tremendous football through the early 2000s, while dealing with the death of his father, the death of his brother-in-law, a cancer diagnosis to his wife and hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the area around his home.

    He also managed to rewrite every passing record known to man at the time. While he kept the Packers’ faithful on their toes to the fact of his retirement, his body of work can’t be overshadowed.
