Favre : For the Record

Last year, Brett Favre made NFL history. He became the first player to win three consecutive Most Valuable Player awards and the first to throw thirty or more touchdown passes in four straight seasons. And, again, he was voted by his peers into the Pro Bowl--the fifth time in his short seven-year career. But perhaps the most impressive statistic is that Brett Favre has the longest playing streak among all quarterbacks in the NFL. Despite a weekly pounding from playing in football's toughest division (nicknamed the "black and blue" division), he has started in 106 consecutive games and enthusiastically drives the fortunes of the Green Bay Packers. Brett Favre has fun and simply has no quit in him.

Born the son of an indomitable high school football coach and a warm but strict mother and teacher, Favre learned about inner fortitude early on. He has had his share of adversity--a car accident when he was in college that forced doctors to remove a large portion of his intestines, a notorious bar fight in the early part of his career, the death of a close friend, the rumors and doubts about his ability to win the big one. But it was admitting to himself that he was addicted to painkillers and voluntarily examining his life inside out that really brought Brett to where he is today--centered, committed, and full of excitement and determination about the future. Brett simply doesn't know any other way. Favre: For the Record is brash, straightforward, fun-loving, and deeply moving--everything fans have come to expect from Brett Favre.
