Tough love is great for kids, but it’s ultimately meaningless if you never show them tender love as well. You can tell that while Brett loved his father, he still carries around a lot of pain.
Roger B that's what the dad said, then the kid made it mean something
It's mom's job to coddle
@@JM-fo1te There's a difference between coddling and showing love ya' fucking goon. Telling your son that you're proud of accomplishments isn't coddling.
@@JM-fo1te that's beyond ignorant, my pops dad was an asshole too, at six years he went to give his pops a hug and he pushed him down and said grown men don't hug, they shake hands. At fucking six years old. Still told me his pops never once told him he loved him. That shit still sits with my pops at nearly 50 years old.
I have always had fear of my pops in respect, he's always been tough, but he's always shown affection when deserved. I don't have the issues my dad has because of it.
Being a dick just creates future assholes, not men

Brett looks like the coolest neighbor of all time
Derrick Roseman I was his neighbor in Hattisburg Mississippi, and he’s kinda a jerk honestly, if u walked on his yard or something small, he would scream at us
Jackson Warner well why the fuck are you walking on his yard for?
Spencer Quinley facts don't walk on the mans yard 😂
What if he bangs ur wife
Jackson Warner you don’t walk on another mans yard, period.
My dad did the same thing. Spent my life resenting it and chasing it. One day I overheard him bragging about me to a stranger and it was a load of bricks lifted off my back knowing that he thought I was beyond good enough. I forgave him and saw him in a new light from then on.
I really appreciate this channel. The interviewer actually let's the athletes speak without interruption. For a brief moment it allows the fans to see past the image and connect on a emotional level.
Amen. Can you imagine if the view tried to interview him
and he doesn't ask trap questions. it's honestly really refreshing.
i think this is a classic example of a father living his dreams through his son, but wanting the best for him at the same time. Maybe, if his dad wasn't the way he was, then Brett may not have been as good as he is.
schlöer grape
Seeing your also German, I'm going to say, no.
Too many families are dysfunctional for years and years because of certain parenting decisions.
If fathers were more open, but fair in the discipline of their sons, we wouldn't have the divide in families, fathers and sons as we do today.
If fathers don't use positive reinforcement, sons will ultimately seek attention by doing negative activities instead of the right action.
Brett here doesn't talk about his drinking, or drug abuse, but had his father done the right thing, and built his self esteem by positive reinforcement, not coddling, teaching, Favre may have had a completely different career as an NFL quarterback.
Favre always had a mentality of the never say die, but it often got him in trouble for throwing the ball into triple coverages, late game interceptions and boneheaded throws.
The mistakes only got worse after Holmgren left Green Bay, even an affair with a New York Jets woman.
Brett has been killing the weights
Roberto Campos stfu he is just fat af
Winchester Lester he ain’t even fat so shut yo dumbass up
First Last You’re fucking stupid!
You mean testorone replacement? Lol he’s juiced his entire career look at size of his head. Just a lance Armstrong who didn’t get caught
Canadian Swordfight dumbass
You're a master at getting guests to open up about some pretty dark and deep topics.
KEN WINS the dude says a three word question lmao this guys isn’t anything special
Gramham understands something about interviewing that a lot of interviewers don’t get , No one cares about the interviewer throwing in their personality or making it about them ! It’s all about the guest . Which is a very simple formula but to many people have a big ego
@@sitructv3672 well said. Graham is a great listener
a lot of media would've cut this interview down so thanks for not doing that and for letting him talk
The game he played after his father passed is one of the most memorable moments in sports. Still gives me goosebumps
No doubt. Shellacked the hell out of my Raiders that night. Tough loss for our side but I was proud of how Favre gave it his all that night.
My dad would always see the one thing i did wrong in game but forget about all 95 percent of the good i did.
Roger B teaches the kids to keep working. Yeah you might’ve had an awesome game but theres always something you can do to be better.
Tough Love.
Older men, esp those in the army, wanted to be perfect. Perfection was the only thing acceptable. My dad was a ranger, baptist minister and football coach.
he didnt forget what you did well. he expected you to do better.
Roger B thats why this new generation is so soft. We hand out participation medals and don’t count score lol.
Roger B lol everyone is different bro i appreciated hearing from my dad the mistakes i made while everyone else is hyping me up cause i played well. Brings you back down to earth and keeps you level headed.
my dad is one of the most fearsome people you could hope to run into but he had a dad who was twice as hard and it made him realize the effects of that. he was tough on me without landing on me. thats the important thing
Now your gonna be a lil more easier on your kids. Smart men learn from their mistakes. Wise men learn from mistakes of others. So don't grow up to be a shitty dad to your kids bro
Yo i lagged if you saw that dislike it wansnt meant to be a dislike my bad
Great guy! I met him at a medical trade show and we spoke for 30 minutes about the way he singlehandedly beat my Florida State Seminoles. I brought it up and he remembered the game vividly.
Man, my dad has always been that way, for my whole 49 years.
@LVhasAIDS *you're
LVhasAIDS learn to spell idiot
All of us from that generation must have the same dad. They are so afraid to say, “I love you. I’m proud of you”. I’m overly loving with my daughter because I don’t want her to ever think her dad didn’t express it.
This is a conversation not an interview. I like that a lot .
@LVhasAIDS Howard Stern is a joke compared to Graham Bensinger.
I knew his Dad and he was very proud of Brett. He told me on many occasions. Just wish he had told Brett...
Steven Hughes yea ok
🗣RIGHHT
Londer G Hey Lower G! You ain’t man enough punk...
Steven Hughes true dat nigga
That sucks but at least he had his
Much respect to his Dad. All he wanted was to see his son successful,may not have showed the emotion but I guarantee his heart was always glowing in happiness to watch his son make it to the show. i just call him "Old School". Hard love baby hard love.
He played lights out that Monday night - 300 yds before halftime.
Larry Hinderman has no life so he trolls
A lot of the older generations had a tough time showing there emotions/feelings (other than anger). I've known some people that where on their death bed, still had a tough guy front on, it's sad, but i guess that's how they were raised, and that's all they know.
We have the same dad.
A lot of people's dads are like this. I think for the most part it's a good thing.
My Dad was the same way, I can still here him rooting for me from the stands
This reporter is great! No interruptions.
That Monday Night Oakland game was magic! Even the Oakland fans loved him
He destroyed my Raiders after his dad past. And I was rooting for him. Only time went against my team
That’s awesome dude. Thanks for sharing
Great interview. Great, touching story. Irv was central to his development as a person and a player.
Brett the best🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I miss watchin him. You don’t know wat your watchin till is gone
Some dads just gotta be like that and idk why
at least he had a dad.
Early in the interview his arms are crossed and he's formal but slowly loosens up
I was raised the same exact way. I broke the cycle when my boys do good I let them know they did good and I tell them I am proud of them and I hug them and tell them I love them every day. And I am one hard core Man. Telling your kids that you live them or proud doesn't equate to soft.....
In my mind it's all about balance being hard can good at times but if you never express love and support then children might grow up being just like their parents or they might just grow up being miserble.
@@sisigs4820 👍
My all-time favorite player💯
It's incredible that Bret's dad never saying he was proud of him and being tough on him probably drove him to become an all time great. I have seen this with other great athletes. Yet as a father you should express your love to your children and make them know you are proud of them. By the way, Bret looks in fantastic shape here like he could still play.
This man torched the raiders. Throwing bombs. Raiders fans in the coliseum was in support of Brett. Was great to see as a kid
I saw that MNF game live after his father died. Brett was on FIRE that night!!!
I was never a fan of Brett Favre the man but rather only his playing style. Not because I didn't like him but because I didn't know him. The QB I knew about was Dan Marino. That's what I grew up around. But now after watching these clips and many more. You can't help but like Favre. He's such an old school, tough as nails, Americana espque affable dude.
For better or for worse, our words and our actions will have a profound impact on our children. It's amazing that even our failures can still shape our children for good. This is a reminder for me to be more careful with my words.
Brett is still solid
Graham is a very good interviewer. He makes is guest feel comfortable and open. But his best quality as an interviewer is that he listens and ask on point questions, doesn’t talk over his quests. In other words he asks good questions then shuts up!
Every time I watch an interview with this dude he always sounds like he’s very excited to have said a word as if it’s a new word he’s discovered I get that feeling🤷🏼♂️
I remember that game he threw some passes that should have never been completed.lol what a way to play for his father I'll tell u that
His shirt says “sack” and then it says “sqor”😂😂
Brett's an amazing man!
So what my father puts me down all the time,
We are proud of you Brett
Damn I bet back then his teammates probably resented the fact that he was the coaches son, now theyre like wow who would've thought.
I watched this MNF game... awestruck. Amazing performance.. if you weren't a Favre fan before that game, you were after. Brett.... love ya man from Detroit Lions turf.
farve gets real from time to time
Favre*
I always liked to think of myself of a pretty damn good football player as a kid. It was my choice to not go on and play further, and a lot of people don’t have that option. My dad taught my everything and was my coach, I idolized Jerry Rice from the age of 9 and wanted to be a receiver, whenever he threw me a ball and I made a nice catch, he would say “wow nice catch”. There was never a better compliment in the world.
Brett speaks to a bigger issue to me and that is the emotional disconnect that some fathers and some mothers had with their children from that time period. Being from and living in the south, it’s so rampant. I despise it
That was the overall mentality back then. Dads couldn’t be soft or testy or soft etc. I can relate to Brett but I know as well that although it wasn’t said I know my dad was proud of the things I did. Just didn’t hear it.
Isn’t there another interview with Aaron Rodgers talking about how Brett Favre never told him he was proud of him?
Brett never really felt obligated to be a mentor to Rogers. Poor Aaron Rogers.
great interview
Anyone that puts that much effort into a child clearly loves them/is proud of their accomplishments. Unfortunate it was never spoken to him...but it should be obvious as well
I can relate to his son-father relationship
Daddy never said I made him proud. I therefore stole from welfare recipients in order to build a volleyball gymnasium for the well off, because I knew that’s the kind of kindness that would finally make Daddy proud of me
I coached alot of kids whose father's were that way... They miss so much not seeing the positive of their kids
That Monday night game was the best I ever watched
Me too! My father never says he loves me or be there for my games! And always tough love! I have been hurting or feeling hurting for very long time but when I chose to accept my responsibility for myself and learned to forgive others and learned to love others even your enemies and learned to stop your hatred and moving forward is the only thing can make your life easier and peaceful! If I don’t, the snake venom will completely take over me and one day it will destroying my family and life! That’s why I took responsibility for myself not my father’s fault for not loving me enough because he’s trying to be the best father he can be! And God’s words, you must forgive those who’s against you, be kindness to strangers or even your enemies, and love my sheeps!
That’s why Brett is built like a train
One of my fav QBs of all time
Brett Favre is to football (maybe sports) what Sean Connery is to pop culture/cinema. Legend.
I remember that MNF vs Oak it was way back Oak was a decent squad and GB had a down yr. It was magical I saw a lot of GB games and in general nobody in 2000s or maybe 90s threw like that and team WRs caught catches like that it was like Elis 4th QT drives in SB but for 4 QTs.
Edward Brito I remember that game too
i watch and cant get over how built he's gotten. wow
Brett Favre 4 Life
Tom Brady looks like Brett back in the day
The only time I heard my dad said he’s proud is when I got accepted to Stanford
LVhasAIDS Thank you man, its been tough in college lol I have 3 essays due Tuesday and Thursday
LVhasAIDS I play music here lol
LVhasAIDS I got time😂 its fine I promise
I know how that feels my mother doesn't claim me
Sins of the father
Sins? Wtf are you talking about... if making your boy a man is a sin, then I don’t want to go to heaven.
Supreme Renegade not letting ur boy know that ur proud of him isn’t making him a man. A father should give his son love time to time
That insane TD throw he made against the 49ers as a Viking was his best throw ever. No doubt his old man was proud of that one! #skol
My dad was the same way. Never gave me credit or "atta boys". He did that with his GRANDsons, but never his own 3 boys. The only time he'd say something was when he was mad or when we'd screw something up.
Thank god Mark McHale found him..shout out
Macaulay Calkin had similar issues.
Man, I wished he still was able to play somehow. Funnest QB to watch ever.
GOAT
He had to know he was loved by his father and how he played a game has nothing to do with that love. Love means loving the good person he was, the kind man he grew into, the good son he became, that is WHAT his father should be proud of and means so much more than football. However, the older generation was not accustomed to praising children or saying I love you often, that is how it became in this generation but not that generation. Plus, if HIS father never told him then maybe he never learned to say it TO BRETT either.
Tough love without the occasional word of support or kindness is just cruelty. It may serve a purpose, but it's cruelty. Children overcome it, they can even thrive driven by it, but it's still shitty. Look at Todd Marinovich to see what the extreme does to an athlete.
This was a good interview.
Sounds like my dad. He coached me one year and we had blowups cause he was harder on me than anybody on the team.
Charles Howell he’s trying to save your soft ass, learn to Liston or you won’t make it in life, no refs out here in the real world.
There's a tear in my beer cause i'm crying for you dear........ #whoKNEWfavreWASaLADY
I would love to see a book by Favre
My dad trust u more than me
That was the fastest seven minutes of my life
We don’t get people like this in sports anymore
I still wish he would come back out of retirement
Sounds exactly like my dad exactly
At least you had a dad big boy
what's it like to actually have a father ?
:(
I'm so sorry.
Maybe you'll find out what it's like to be a father.
Sorry to hear that bud. I hope all goes well for you
no comment Mostly good. Disapointing your dad is a terrible feeling.
I can't find this full interview, anyone got a link end to end one video not a snippet? Great interview.
In my humble opinion, I think Brett truly loved and respected his father! However, I believe he really wanted to hear his father say I Love You!! I think it is NORMALfor anyone and everyone to want to hear their parents say that they love them! I am a father of two Beautiful young girls and I know beyond a shadow of doubt, if I couldn’t tell them how much I love them, IT WOULD KILL ME! I believe it’s as natural as Breathing! All children need love, support, guidance, respect, acceptance and discipline! If you’re not willing to provide those qualities as a parent, then don’t even think about bringing a child into the world!!!
You can tell it still affects him
kinda like my dad but times are much different kids now a days have it easier working labor but social media an issue
Same
Wonder if he carries a permit for that weapon of a right arm.
CTE GANG
Is this a consequence of Southern male pride of a past generation? I think so. Men, tell your daughters and sons you love them and are proud of them. That doesn't emasculate you!
Katrina Paige MacCray get back in the kitchen.
Katrina Paige MacCray consequence? He played damn near 20 years in the NFL and is incredibly successful lol
That behavior can be found anywhere on earth. I've seen the same 'never/rarely verbally letting your child know you are proud of them' treatment from dads to children in Asia, Europe, north/south/east/west in the U.S., South America and Africa. My dad grew up on an Indian Reservation 5 miles from Canada and treated his sons similarly to what Favre describes. His brothers did the same thing to their sons and their father did the same thing to his sons. His father before him likely did the same thing to my grandfather. Generations of men who can't express their feelings of pride, of humility, of anything and everything that a child would want to hear and feel from his/her father. Welcome to Planet Earth.
greenbay truth exactly. theres a reason 9 out of 10 people under 30 are pussies
Ruby Marlowe One day you might not get a second chance to say it.
My old man is the same way. Maybe not that hard but he's definitely not what you would consider "doting" lol.
Cool vid.
That's just how it was back in the day, people didn't say shit. If my son was an all time great QB I'd definitely be proud lol
Tiger Wood's dad was this same way. Relentless. Seems horrible to an emotional thinking individual, like so many today. He knew his dad's feelings for him, love is charity. Love is doing something, and his father was by his side all the way! Look at the pro he became, one of the best. Bret's father was a father wanting to raise a man!
Graham is like that android Bishop from the Alien movies.
well sometimes you don't get everything.
