Favre Being Favre...Oh, And The Packers Winning Too

Call it a man-crush, but it is hard to not write about Brett Favre non-stop. After watching him lead the Packers to victory over the Seahawks, I just simply in awe. How a 38-year-old quarterback can do the things that he does is beyond me.

You think Brett Favre still loves playing in the NFL after ALL these years? It was pretty hard to tell with him celebrating everywhere and throwing snowballs at his linemen/running backs during the game. Brett Favre, today at the age of 38, looks like the Brett Favre of 95': completely dominant. How someone can be at the top of his game after all this time continues to blow my mind. It would be safe to say that I am developing a slight man crush for the man. How can you not after all he has done this season?

And oh yeah, the Packers just destroyed the Seahawks in the divisional round of the playoffs. That was one hell of a game to say the least. So many story lines, so little time and space to write about them.

Let's start with the word redemption. Fumbling the ball two times on your first two possessions leading to 14 points for the opposing team. Not exactly the most ideal of starts for my boy Ryan Grant. How about these ending numbers: 201 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. Now THAT'S redemption. Those 201 yards were a franchise record in the postseason for the Packers.

Next word: record-breaking. Okay. That was two words. Or one. What is the rule with hyphens anyway? On top of Ryan Grants postseason rushing record of 201 yards, Brett Favre passed John Elway for 2nd most passing yards ever in a postseason game, & the 42 points scored were a Packers postseason record as well.

Last word: skull-breaking. Only phrase I could think of when having to describe Atari Bigby. That first half was all about Bigby on the defensive side of the ball.
