Oddly, my son and son I watched this video yesterday. It's titled "Favre 4 Ever" ... one of my favorite quotes... Favre and Holmgren talking on the sidelines and Holmgren admonishes him: "No more rocket balls please" ...not once, but twice and the other was the one where Holmgren comes over to Favre sitting on the bench and says, "I'm calm...."
A lot of folks forget the "needle threading" this guy did earlier in his career when his arm was young and fresh. The very same stuff that we Ooooo and ahhhh about today with Rodgers. Thing is, Favre was deadly with Holmgren reigning him in. After the '98 season - not so much. Regardless how it all ended...the guy was a player...but THAT was yesterday...and yesterday's gone...
