Known For
Everyone knows Brett Favre one way or another. However there are six things he’s truly known for: #4 (his jersey number), Legendary Toughness, Cannon Arm, Gun Slinger, Costly Interceptions, and Yearly “Retirements”.
Train Wreck
A low point in Favre’s career was in 1991. While he was with the Falcons, he wound up missing the team photo. Of course he was asked where he was, but instead of telling the truth, Brett lied. He had actually been drinking the night before, but he lied and said that “he was stuck in traffic behind a train wreck”. The Falcons coach Jerry Glanville replied, “Son, you are a train wreck!” Shortly after, Brett was traded to the Packers.
