Piranha-z Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Very nice!!! I was a little surprised about this quote though: "There is no happier place than Green Bay, Wis., on a Sunday evening after the Packers have won. The beer tastes better, the girls are even prettier, and few seem to notice the bite in the air." I've been to Wisconsin and you HAVE to have beer to make this happen!!

Never miss a chance to bash Wisconsin. "Many athletes give time to the Make-A-Wish Foundation; for Favre it's a regular part of his workweek. So strong is the demand to meet the Packers' quarterback among Make-A-Wish kids with life-threatening medical conditions that Favre schedules a visit nearly every Friday when the Packers are not playing an away game. "It's an honor to be asked," he says, "but I'm not going to lie -- it's hard. There are times when it takes a lot out of me. These kids are so cool, but you can't ignore what they're up against and what their families are going through." In September 2004 Favre met with a six-year-old from Neenah, Wis., named Anna Walentowski. She was suffering from Alexander disease, an extremely rare type of the degenerative brain disorder called leukodystrophy, for which there is no known cure. By the time her visit was arranged, Anna was on a feeding tube for 20 hours a day. In the preceding months she had repeatedly been rushed to the hospital with spasms of her upper respiratory system, which made breathing nearly impossible. "It was a dark, dark time in our lives," says Anna's father, Jeff. "Our little girl was deteriorating pretty rapidly." Anna's parents feared she would not be strong enough to make the trip to the Packers' practice facility, but she rallied for the big day. Favre had recently been banged up, and the first thing the little pixie in a Packers cheerleading outfit said to him was, "How's your thumb?" The two bonded instantly. Anna's mother, Jennifer, remembers Favre giving her daughter hug after hug and gently helping Anna get in and out of her stroller, so the two could play catch with a Nerf football and later eat lunch with the team."

xMRogers Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Alexander disease, an extremely rare type ..... Ok,first - this is very wrong - I know that second - shouldn't this end with "of way to kill off fantasy teams that draft you in the first few picks two straight years" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Great choice -- he's been a great story this year. Reading through it made me think, with all the outpouring of love and admiration for Sean Taylor based on the short time he turned his life around, what the heck will people do when Favre dies? Favrelites should start planning now, because Taylor's fans have set the bar preeeeety high. In the meantime, this is a nice honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
