I think all of us realized as much as Favre was known as a sort of wild man “Gunslinger” whatever. He was still human and he was hurting and you could also see sense it in his Wife. Deanna took on the role of worrying enough for both of them.There were a couple other games that were teaching moments. McCarthy had just lost his Brother unexpectedly leading up to our 2014 Seattle game. Had we won that game he had zero time to grieve. Now I’m a Packer fan first, but I still thanked God that he allowed Mike McCarthy to go home and mourn his loss.I also grew an immense respect for Tom Coughlin and the Giants in 2011.  When our OC had just lost his Son to a drowning, he seemingly promoted his players to make an effort to show their support during our Divisional in 2011. Yes we all want to Win, but there are certain situations in life that transcend even Professional Football. Being a Professional is as much understanding self control and compassion as it is competing. For as much as we seemingly hate the Giants, they have shown moments of exceptional class imo.
