Let’s be real, Brett Favre tops the list as one of the biggest, best sports stars the world has ever known. Maybe he’s even the greatest quarterback of all time. After all Favre is the first ever NFL QB to “pass for 500 touchdowns, throw for 70,000 yards, complete 6,000 passes, and attempt 10,000 passes”. With that in mind, Favre’s road to greatness has however been a rocky one; one filled with personal tragedies, addictions, scandals, but his strength allows him to endure all of his shortcomings.
