When I heard Josh Groban sing "Changing Colors" for the first time, I had it in mind that this could be a perfect song to encapsulate the latter part of Brett's unbelievable 20-year NFL career.
(Sorry about the live MP3 version upload; no studio version will be available)
*I do not claim any ownership of these photo's or this beautiful song. Thank you.
**Even though it's never been about about numbers with Favre, just the love of the game...we can't help but be a little impressed, so here's a recap.**
Favre ownes or shares most of the well-known NFL career records for QB's, including:
As of week 7 of this 2009 season:

*The Future Hall of Famer is nicknamed the "Iron-Man" for this achievement alone.

Not to mention, (due to his "Changing Colors") Favre is the only quarterback to have led a team to victory over all thirty-two teams in the NFL since the league expanded to 32 franchises in 2002.
He's 40- He's Still Fabulous-Take Home Superbowl 44!!!
Great video! I love him!!!! As a Vikings fan, I have never enjoyed games more than I have this year. He's amazing to watch and is an exceptional leader. He has so much to be proud of!

Thank you! He does bring so much joy and excitement to the field. I think anyone who appreciates the game of football and true leadership can never deny a respect for Brett. We love him, yes...and I'm not saying everyone has to, but he should have no room for hate in anyone's heart...if you have a brain to go with it. GO VIKES!!!

I'll be at the game tomorrow sporting my #4 jersey. I have seen him play in person many times at the Dome - but this'll be the first time he's on my team. I can't wait! Back to your video... I really love it. I think it's the best tribute to Favre I've seen. Great job!
