Will it be Brett Favre vs.Tom Brady at Super Bowl XLII in Glendale Arizona on February 3? It has been 10 years since Brett Favre's last Super Bowl, a decade of family tragedy, vicodin addiction, reckless performances and calls for his retirement.
Untested Mike McCarthy came in as the Green Bay Packers head coach 2 years ago and he has been a godsend for Favre. McCarthy has been wise enough to admire Favre but honest enough to point out the quarterback's silly risk-taking. Favre, notoriously stubborn and care-free has shockingly listened and learned the art of game management from McCarthy.
It wasn't long ago that Brett Favre was heaving more interceptions than touchdown passes and making some throws that looked like wounded quails in a Wisconsin hunting Season. The Green Bay Packers were not winning. Now since McCarthy's entrance, Favre has minimized his mistakes, bonded with Donald Driver and the young receivers and his game has gone up.
Mike McCarthy describes Brett Favre as a "once-in-a-lifetime player. He will go down as one of the greatest or the greatest player in NFL history. Just the way he goes about his business speaks volumes about him as a person. He's a joy to coach. We would love to see him breaking records."
Favre says records don't motivate him, but winning does. He states, "Before my career is over, I want to experience success again. There 's nothing left for me to accomplish. Not many people can say that."
Tom Brady is so focused and seemingly invincible.
Yes! Let's have Brett Favre against Tom Brady at Super Bowl XLII and may the best quarterback win!
