Brett Favre's First pass completion as a Packer

[Exaskryz]

Thumbs up if you saw Aaron Rogers do the same thing in the Pro Bowl.

[A7XNCK]

typical favre

[xXSavageSn1per12Xx]

this video pretty much sums up his entire career >_<

[shineeyman]

did anyone else see that guy dive and completely miss everyone?

[Cotronixco]

@shineeyman Ya, it looks like he ended up in the end zone.

[GeminiBoi21]

@shineeyman Where ?

[singana1]

he first completion WOULD be to himself. the last time he came back to the NFL he stated "I was so close to getting these guys [Vikings] to the playoffs" so self absorbed

[wong561]

@singana1 Brett Favre almost got them to the Super Bowl. Self absorbed? I think not. The word I'd use is self assured.

[singana1]

@wong561 yeah because adrian peterson and the 2009 D-line were just standing around while Brett Favre was doing all the work getting them to the playoffs, that must have been what happened

[wong561]

@singana1 Don't forget that Peterson fumbled twice, if memory serves me correctly, in the NFC Championship game.

[templarknight7]

@wong561 Harvin did too. There were like 5 turnovers in that game. Favre just made the biggest one though. =/

[isiah31999]

so young!

[guitar29682]

@kilox10001 he probably just didnt want it intercepted

[antoniobonton2]

He started with a bad play and ended with a bad play

[GuapTeam508]

@kilox10001 they would of picked it off if he didnt catch it

\

[Ninety2q]

Was this at County Stadium?

[Gobulldogs4life]

Wow he threw for 71838 yards after starting in a -7 yard hole haha

[BarackSays]

Men do not fail, they just give up trying. Favre is a legend because he never gave up trying.

[killamic56]

@BarackSays

best comment here!

[havenmil21]

hah clasic

[Cotronixco]

@kilox10001 It's only a stupid decision once you know the outcome. Before that point it's a risk.

[sockems22]

@kilox10001 not if you had him in a ppr league

[ceedog76]

wow great prediction mr announcer guy

[tkerst51]

Better he caught it than Big Ray :/ loss of yards > interception..

[prophesy989]

haha theres tracking...ohh vhs how i miss you

[Trainking922]

haha, that's an odd way to start an NFL career.

[zpressley]

wow that guy announcing the game can be like I told you so now. ...........(is he still alive) If he is my apologies if he reads this, if not then to his family I would like to say He was a very intuitive man. I am sorry for your loss.

[beetate]

is that Doc Emmerick?

[buckeyeschmave]

@beetate Yes it is.

[Cotronixco]

@kilox10001 Of course. But that's not Brett. He thrived on huge risks.

[thedeitsch]

I remember watching this play live while spread out on my mom's couch in Neenah, Wisconsin and thinking to myself, "'If this guy ever amounts to anything I will remember his first ever pass completion". I still do.

[60BloodyChamp60]

Of course this isn't a highlight reel Military...it's just for nostalgia. It's BRETT FAVRE'S FIRST COMPLETION! The play is, however, an example of how tough he was to tackle back in the day

[howitzer24]

totally amazing the commentator nailed it.

[ThatGuy9811]

lol he should have let it be incomplete

[321ian]

what is the other team?

[tampabaybucs7]

@321ian  Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[Kamakazi242012]

It's hard to imagine Favre without the 40 year old look

[LeafsJaysRapsFan09]

just imagine the announcer at the game "#4 Brett Favre completed pass to #4 Brett Favre for a 2 yard loss" :P

[Cotronixco]

And to think he led this team to win the Super Bowl just 4 years later!

[toolkien]

@Cotronixco He didn't lead THIS team. There were four players on the '96 team that were there in '91, the year before Favre arrived - 93% of the roster. The turnover from '91 to '92 was quite a bit, but no 93%, ergo it was pretty much a different team that he lead to the Super Bowl. Reggie wasn't even on the team yet.

[Cotronixco]

@toolkien That is the point. Things changed drastically for the Packers in just a few years.

[JJfortheKing]

Where's the first down line?

[scottnorton123]

@JJfortheKing its a long time ago... there arent any... lol

[scottnorton123]

@JJfortheKing its a long time ago... there arent any... lol u know that the first down line isent actually on the field right... lol

[JJfortheKing]

@scottnorton123 lol yeah. Somebody on ESPN radio made a joke about the first-down-line not existing on TV 10 years ago, so that's what I thought of when I watched this. :P

[joker646464]

THATS WHAT I WOULD DO PASS IT TO MYSELF

[tmrecco1992]

Lmao that's perfect

[velociraptor7814]

And when we saw this shit, we knew it'd be a fun 20 years.

[nuknuknuk111]

that commentator hit the nail on the nob wit that saying on brett

[clockmover]

whoever the announcer was he was spot on!!!

[thetruegladiator]

GREATEST PLAYER WHO EVER PLAYED FOOTBALL!

[jaker1013]

thank you so much or posting this

[Cotronixco]

@jaker1013 You're elcome.

[tadeadliest]

@Cotronixco ya hank uo o uch

[ravens0071]

like if you just searched this because of MNF

[mannyruls23]

Bret was smiiling when he was on the bottom of that pile hahaha

Classic Brett...Such a good sport

[kyleplum2010]

People always ask me with a smug smile who Brett Favre's first completion was caught by. Love the look on their faces when I get it right.

[orion1954]

This is not only the first completion as a Packer, but also his first completion ever (He had 4 attempts in the 1991 season, none were complete).

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

@orion1954 Well, in a sense, he did complete 2 in 1991 during the Falcons-Redskins regular season meeting; to two Redskins (including Andre Collins taking it for the closing points in a 56-17 thrashing).

[apk65]

when was this

[Watermelonzilla]

Sheesh. He'll still be starting in 2030

[GarshardJeVard]

20 years later, HOF!

[AlfredRusselWallace]

just learned about this fact today. so glad someone had the play up on youtube to see!

[Channel58]

Great to have this on YouTube, thanks for sharing! Just a little part of sports history but will make a great trivia question.....

[SABA6666]

@Channel58 lol i just got this question on one of ESPNs trivial questions and because of this i won

[vdven]

Brett Favre is like a kid out there

[Caboose1234567891234]

One more year!!

[reaperman1982]

AND he broke the first takcle

[LHZZ12MM]

"that's what makes a good player...he doesn't stop...he's gonna make somethin' happen"

epic

[sh0rtymac85]

@LHZZ12MM and the rest...as we say...is history!!
