I have always been a die hard packer fan and when brett went to another team i thought of him as a traitor until i realized that he just wanted to play the game no matter what team he played for...and now seeing him going to some unknown families house to meet with a boy who is a die hard favre fan makes me think of brett favre as an even better man and i dont care what team he plays/played for he will always be a hero in my world.
Brett is more than a great quarterback. He is a man, a husband, a father, someone who cares for others. This man gave the Packers & his fans the best years of his life. This guy didn't attend practice so he could come to Wisconsin to visit this sick child. This little boy adores Brett Favre. I wish we all could be like Anderson and not judge people.....not judge Brett. God Bless this little boy and his family. My prayers and thoughts are with Anderson. A miracle is needed!! Pls pray for him!
No matter what colors Brett is wearing he will always be the greatest Greenbay Packer. God Bless Anderson and Brett come home to Wisconsin, we still love you.
I grew up in WI, a packer fan and a Favre fan. Things have changed in the past few years, but I have stayed strong in my support of Brett. This is a perfect example of his character, although it may be slightly flawed, like all the rest of us on the planet. This video made me cry....what a touching moment, thanks for sharing :)
It's amazing how many people hate Favre now. I'm a die hard Viking's fan, and I'll admit that I hated Favre when he was a Packer, but now that I look back on it, it's so petty. It's FOOTBALL. People get so wrapped up in the fact that Favre has gone back and forth on the retirement issue, or any other mistakes he's made, well guess what, he's human. I'm sure if any of us were famous we would look horrible with the media inspecting everything we do. You're a great man Brett, thanks for everything.
count me in too bradgab...somewhere I got so wrapped up in rivalries I forgot all about the many years and good things Brett did for us here in WI. I'm moving on and this video made did it for me.
Mr and Mrs Butzine, My wife and I have two children of our own, right around the age of yours, and this was very deeply touching to me. Brett has always been my favorite NFL player and I have been a Viking fan for 34 years, what he and Deanna did for your son is nothing more than amazing. This goes beyond sports and speaks volumes of the type of human beings that they are. Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful moment of your son's with us, it has made us better people seeing it
thank you for sharing this video. It definitely touched my heart and I am praying for your son and for your whole family. and what a great thing for Brett and Deanna to do. I know they have done things like this before and it always reminds me that regardless of Brett's mistakes, he has a huge heart to help people--especially kids.
As a 19 year old who was diagnosed with ewing's sarcoma in 2007 I recognize the struggle in which you all are going through I cannot begin to express my sadness My experiences in meeting others younger than I has determined me to cancer research and your story will always be a reminder of what I am fighting for I know moments like these can be so wonderful and am glad you were able to have this I believe Brett does not play Monday night without having met and been inspired by your son God Bless
This video is so touching i cried watching it i wish your family the best! Brett Favre he has a huge heart i have the up most respect for him!!! God Bless!
It's hard not to respect Brett for what he's done in the past eighteen years, but it's impossible not to appreciate what he did for Anderson. I hope for the best for you and your family.
ESPN will spend 3 days on finding negative stuff to talk about Favre, to bad they don't show this video just as much. God Bless this Family and Brett Favre and his lovely wife for bringing a smile to them during this time.
This is the perfect example of why Brett fans will always remain fans....it's not just about the football. He has his faults as we all do but, he really cares about others.
Hello Butzine Family, Thank you so much for sharing this video with the world. As a 24 year old girl living with Cerebral Palsy, I know what it is like to go through life facing daily challenges, and how tough it can be on the family. Growing up Packer football was and still is a way of life in my family. I have been a devoted Brett Favre fan for as long as I can remember and things like this are one of the many reasons why I still love and support the NFL's Ironman. What a true class act.
There are a few things that we may or may not agree with what happened with the whole Brett Favre stories on and off the field. But what still makes him a hero and a true great person is that he still takes time to things like this. He doesn't have to, but he does anyway because he does care. Thank you Brett and best wishes to you Anderson!
Hello Anderson and the rest of the Butzine family! I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and praying for Gods Grace and Healing for all of you. Anderson's life journey has moved me in ways I can not express but only through song. You have a very strong and beautiful young boy. He is one tough fella'. I can see how he would connect to Brett. Very glad Brett and Deanna got to meet him. God Bless all of you and thank you for sharing his story with us. :) Peace, Love and Joy
This is the best... No media coverage... just straight from the heart. I'm a Bears fan and this is just awesome. So wonderful. So precious. So cool. Be blessed.
Thank you for being apart of this. What a great thing for Brett and Deanna to come and see Anderson. From another one of Brett's biggest fan to another ----Anderson you are in our prayers as well as your family. Merry Christmas to you all. God Bless you all from our family in New Berlin, WI to yours.
What a special video, your family is in my families prayers. What a Great thing Brett And Deanna did maybe people should report the Good things someone does instead of all the things they think the public wants to hear. God Bless your family R.J. from Oconomowoc
OMGosh, I am so filled with renewed Christmas Spirit, watching this video. How, can anyone say anything bad about Brett. What a wonderful thing him and Renee. It is too bad that Anderson was not able to respond to the visit. I am sure that he was aware however! Wiping tears in Hartland, WI......Merry Christmas everyone! Chandy
@chandrabronsted I ment Brett and Deanna! I am sorry for the mistake in names. God and everyone else knew what I meant. God will continue to bless your family, I am sure of it!
Thank you to you and your family for sharing. Thank you to Brett and Deanna for sharing their time with you. God bless you and your family - you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Kym - Oconomowoc, WI
God bless you Brett for taking the time to do Gods will!!! Thats what it's all about! our pryers are with Anderson and his family.Our children are only borrowed to us,for God is the ultimate father.He will be the biggest healer,so just believe! with love
Thank God For true heros' (( anderson))... God bless him sending prayers and best wishes from California.. and may he have a WONDERFUL xmas.. Thanks to Brett for making this young mans' dream COME true..
Hey Brett....please don't forget that football is what you DO, it's not who you ARE!! Your work has only just begun. The best is yet to come for you and your family. God bless you and Deanna as you bless others!
Anderson - what a brave little guy and I love the uniform...Packer pants and Viking socks. To all the Butzines, my prayers are with you. To Brett and Deanna....that was very special to do for this little fan of yours....thanks.
This is very touching and humbling. God please pour your blessings on this beautiful child and his family. Thank you Brett and Deanna for being gracious and real as you always are.
This is so wonderful. Thank you for the video and for sharing your experience. God is being inundated right now with prayers from around the USA (and beyond I'm sure!) for healing for Anderson and comfort for your family! Thank you Brett for making this dream come true for Anderson!!! - Erin MacMillan
