BRETT FAVRE ROCKS MY GREEN AND GOLD SOCKS

by Sooze, Babes Love Baseball

Did you know... Brett Favre is awesome? Well, if this is the first you've heard of this wonderful news in the world of football and Men I'd Do, then pick up a copy of the Dec 10 Sports Illustrated.

Favre's all-encompassing badassery has earned him the 2007 SI Sportsman of the Year Award.

His rocket arm has led the blossoming, playoff-bound Green Bay Packers to an impressive 10-2 record with the NFC North division title in clear sight. As of Week 13, Favre is on pace to surpass his career marks in completion percentage, yards passing and fewest interceptions per attempts, completing 67.4% of his passes for 3,412 yards with 22 TDs and 10 picks. It's turning out to be one of the sweetest seasons of his 17-year career.

It's been a record year for the 38-year-old legend, as well. Having started a quarterback-best 249 consecutive games -- no doubt he'll suit up this Sunday against Oakland, too -- he's passed Dan Marino on the career touchdown passes and pass attempts list and is 450 yards away from breaking Marino's career mark of 61,361 yards.

Favre joins Terry Bradshaw (1979), Joe Montana (1990) and Tom Brady (2005) as the only quarterbacks to be honored in the 53-year history of the award, given to an athlete who symbolizes the ideals of sportsmanship.

But to the good folks of Wisconsin, Favre is more than just a QB. Donald Driver, who's caught bullets from the Gunslinger for nine seasons now, summed it up quite nicely.

"He means everything to these people. He's not only our leader -- he's the symbol of the franchise, of the whole town. There's a generation of fans in Green Bay who don't know this team ever existed without Brett."


If that's not enough Favre-fellatio for you, share in this joyous union until you vomit and then refer to the next NBC Sports NFL broadcast. Also, be sure to buy your copy of the Dec. 10 Sports Illustrated asap, frame it, and mount it somewhere that you'll be able to gaze at it as often as possible, like above your toilet or on your wife's back.
