A Brett Favre Encomium - Changing Colors (Josh Groban Cover)

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:
Consecutive Starts: 277 (298) including playoffs (one of the most notable streaks in sports)
*The Future Hall of Famer is nicknamed the "Iron-Man" for this achievement alone.
Career Regular Season Victories: 176
Career Passing Touchdowns: 480
Career Passing Yards: 67,052
Career Pass Completions: 5,894
Career Pass Attemps: 9,536
Career Games With At Least 3 TD's: 68
Career Games With At Least 4 TD's: 21 (now tied w/ his idol, Dan Marino)
Seasons With At Least 30 TD Passes: 8
Consecutive Seasons With At Least 30 TD Passes: 5
Consecutive Seasons With At Least 3,000 Passing Yards: 17
AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997) Tied w/ Payton Manning
Pro Bowl Select: 9 times during career with Green Bay and again in 2008 with the Jets
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!

Have a great time at the game (and watching Brett on your side!!) I'm happy for everyone he's been able to play for...I've been a die hard GBP fan my whole life...now a Purple People Eater because of this man! lol I'll follow him till the end. Thanks for the generous comment on the vid!
