After watching Brett Favre in an epic performance tonight against the dynasty team New England Patriots, all I could think to myself is – “Why do I like this guy so much?”

It was weird, after the press conference my boyfriend was almost in tears because of how much he LOVES Brett Favre. It’s always, “Brett Favre this” and “Brett Favre that”. Heck, sometimes he rewinds the damn Wrangler commercials! (What a fan? – or – What a geek?)

But, as much as my boyfriend loves Brett Favre. I like him because he has one key ingredient that ALL WOMEN crave all the time. And that one word is this…… “Passion.”

You can see it in his eyes before the game. You can feel it when he talks into the microphone almost in reverent tones. Brett Favre has “it”. And that “it” is powerful. I LOVE “it”!!!

So, I decided to write a tribute to the greatest football player in the history of the NFL. And yes, I’m a football fanatic (Brett Favre makes me be a fanatic) who has seen numerous great players. Barry Sanders, John Elway, Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice…. each of these players are absolutely spectacular in their own rights. But no one, absolutely NO ONE, plays with more PASSION than Brett Favre.

What the hell were the Green Bay Packers thinking? How could they “let go” or “release” or “trade” the greatest player in the history of the NFL?!?!?! Green Bay Packers fans are watching a sub-par Aaron Rodgers while the New York Jets are playoff bound! It’s amazing! No wonder why John Madden loves the guy so much!

One thing is certain, Brett Favre brings something to the NFL that transcends time itself. As far as I’m concerned, forget about “Stimula” – the Greek goddess of passion. BRETT FAVRE transcends that Greek Goddess! The next time I look in the dictionary to define the term “passion” – I want to see Brett Favre’s picture there.

Anyway, my boyfriend needs to dress up like Brett Favre for Halloween for the rest of his life. Catchin’ my drift ladies? LOL
