Brett Favre: For the Love of the Game
Are there athletes that you just love to watch because of the pure joy they show while playing? You know for them it’s not about the money or fame. They just love what they do and would be on that field or court even if no one was watching.
One man that epitomizes that attitude to me is the Green Bay Packers’ QB Brett Favre. Even at the ripe old age of 37, Favre still looks like a kid playing ball on the playground. There’s no doubt when you watch him play that he is having fun. And as the NFL’s only 3-time MVP, it’s obvious that his love for the game has led to some pretty amazing seasons.
Favre’s 17th NFL season will definitely be one to watch as he pursues several NFL records. He only needs 7 touchdown passes to pass Dan Marino as the player with the most career touchdown passes. Only 2 more career wins will place him at the top of the list over John Elway for career wins as a starting quarterback.

Yeah, those both look like they enjoy the game.
I like Shaun Alexander of the Seattle Seahawks as well. The man is always smiling. He not only seems to enjoy football, but life as well.
I really liked your article and share your feelings about Brett. He just plain enjoys the game.
I used to watch the packers from the sideline when they were young and most of their players showed the same intense love for the game, Starr, Woods, I can’t remember the names. You get the picture.
It was fun to watch Brett today. Now he seems more like a father figure to his team mates–trying to teach them the way to get it done. I was happy to see them get the win.
I like to watch Brett Favre. Tony Romo is fun to watch too. You can tell these guys are having fun.
