Brett's daughters crying leaving the stadium should tell you all you need to know about how special this was and how much this meant to Brett and his family.
Yes he needed to use welfare money to build her a new volleyball courts
Along with that nice Volleyball stadium he built for his daughter. So special..😏
@@soundbombin23 😂😂😂
@@mohsen01Oh right. Shame he played the government for the handout money people don't wanna work for
Bro they really skipped the New York Jets Arc 😭
Which is a Shame because they finally had a team for him the next year. Favre and LT together would have been insane.
@@boogitybear2283 instead it was Favre and Peterson.
That was a filler episodes lol
@@boogitybear2283 let’s be honest, LT was a shell of his former mvp self at that point… which also still meant he was a pretty good RB
Falcons arc too lol
The toughest quarterback to ever play the game. Nobody and I mean nobody can take a hit like this guy. Not rodgers, not montana, not manning, not brady, not brees, not marino. No quarterback in NFL history could take a sack like this guy and still get back up week after week. This man dealt with the saints bountygate incident and still got back up after every hit. His quarterback toughness was genuinely ridiculous and will always be unparalleled.
Both Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis have made similar comments in interviews. That's hard to argue with.
@@rogerangel5732 well I wouldn’t necessarily count what a bankrupt loser or a murderer has to say about anything, let alone one of the best qb’s to ever lace em up!
@@slice40 You more or less offered a similar opinion about Favre that they did.
Why would you even include Brady or Marino in the category if ability to take a hit --number one is Farve , no. 2 is Bradshaw no 3 is Rothlesburget
Steve Young was pretty tough. Montana was tough to and played with broken ribs. I have seen those guys take hits and still play.
I love how this video ended with Aaron Rodgers saying to Brett Favre “Put er in the ol vice”.
I grew up watching Bart Starr play. I even learned to hold and throw the football the way he did. When he retired the light went out in Green Bay and didn’t turn on again until Brett Favre arrived. I remember watching the Cincinnati vs Green Bay game when Brett threw the winning touchdown on a rope and thinking I had never seen such a throw. Seeing Bart Starr walking out to greet Brett that special Thanksgiving brought tears to my eyes and made me realize how much the Green Bay Packers have a part of my sixty seven years. I know this video is dated and everyone has moved on, but I am happy this video is here to take it out from time to time and remember where we journeyed together.
very nice sentiments, Sir. Respect. I was born in WI in 1971, and named after Lombardi. A fond memory I have is Don Majowski in 89 (or 90?) leading the Pack back to relevance and winning, and challenging Montana for the NFC MVP in the process. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be for the Majic Man. Fate seemed utterly cruel when he damaged his shoulder the following season. And then, the rest was history..
This story under a microscope is one of the greatest tales of NFL history!
lol agreed...snap!
His and Peytons retirements made me tear up, so many of the greats I’ve watched and grew up idolizing are putting their cleats away for the last time. The old gunslinger will never be forgotten he is one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Which one of bretts
Drew Brees retired last yr so there is only one more left
His actual retirement, as a die hard football fan and a living football encyclopedia I could tell those first ones weren’t real you could’ve realized from his body language plus it’s Favre he was the ultimate Ironman who played like we all did in our backyards he just had fun. Yes I know Drew is gone we still Tom, Aaron, and Big Ben who respectively have been in the league only 3 and 4 years less than Tom.
I can't believe I spaced out and forgot to mention Big Ben and Aaron Rodgers along with Brady as three of the many greats that ever played the quarterback position that are still playing. I couldn't help but shed a tear for Brett when I saw his number being retired at Lambeau Field.
Why would you idolize anyone?? It's cool to appreciate someone's talent or something but idolize them,nah that's dumb. You should be your own person and not wanna be like someone else. Also,it's 1 of the 10 commandments not to commit idolatry. You're pretty much worshiping them as a GOD or something.
My favorite player, of all time. GOD bless Brett, and his family.
All that welfare $ sure did.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😢 😭 , man this hit me in the feels big-time, my childhood hero and legend, what a documentary!
I'll never forget the game after his dad died. I'm a diehard Cowboy, and Brett was awesome to watch.
Forgiveness is a beautiful word. We always loved him and he came back home. Will always be a Packer forever.
The irony is that Aaron Rodgers is following in the footsteps of Favre at almost the exact same point in his career. All the way down to the Packers drafting a replacement in the 1st round and Rodgers putting on circus displays in the offseason, the chances of him leaving. If Rodgers went to the Bears or Lions or something, it would not surprise me on bit at all. Favre may have not tried to mentor him at all, but Rodgers has picked it up through osmosis.
Umm during the video when "Packer Fans" saying we want Brett an they was more or less saying Rodgers wasn't any good without giving him a chance an umm Favre started it between himself an the Packers front office one day he's retired then the next day he changed his mind an then he got his feelings hurt when the front office said u have to earn ur starting spot well he knew deep down that it was time for Rodgers to take over
Aaron Rodgers is certainly one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in my opinion. I believe if he can’t win the Super Bowl at Green Bay that he will move to another team in an effort to win the Super Bowl there. I would definitely like to see him win at Green Bay. But either way, I want to see him get that ring!
not to mention at the same exact age too. They're both 38 when they decided to retire, and Aaron turned 38 this month
Rodgers should go to the 49ers and take Adams and Cobb with him.
See how good Lafleur is as a coach really
True about Brett Favre: czcams.com/video/fsO9GKEFJmk/video.html
This was a real tear jerker!! Love Brett favre!!!! No one will ever do or play the way he did!!
I just love the guy. Loved in Wisconsin my whole life. 45. He is what made me excited from day to day when times sucked on the job or family was a pain in the ass (rightfully so), but I sure looked forward to seeing my PACK come Sunday and because of Brett we were able to feel that way. Thank you Brett Favre. #4 forever
Favre is in amazing shape. He did say he would legit come back and play as long as he wasnt taking nasty hits. He still has that laser, that bullet throw. just watch the video with Mahomes and him throwing the ball
I was at the return home at Lambeau. Sat out there in a brutally hot stadium just to watch him come out and wave to the crowd and say a few words. It was well worth it. It will always be a special moment for me for the rest of my life.
Same here
I remember as a Giants fan in 07, our OT win against Favre and the Packers in the NFC Championship was great for me personally(we got a championship in New York because of it) but also a little bittersweet for football as a whole. You knew it was likely the end for Favre, at least as a Packer. I mean the speculation and stuff was already raging, after missing the playoffs two years in a row prior to 07, having an excellent prospect in Rodgers waiting for his opportunity behind him,his age and inconsistency, the whole 9 yards. I was not surprised to see him announce his retirement a couple months later after that loss. I didn't blame him at all. I didn't expect him to change his mind and goto a bitter division rival like Minnesota, but football was everything to Brett and it was obvious. And while many of the Packer faithful hated him for it, the fact is he came back and wanted to play again, the Packers were his first choice. Management declined, and wouldn't release his contract. Brett felt a certain way about that and wanted to stick it to them by playing for a division rival. Was ego involved? Definitely. Every QB in the NFL has an ego. And Favre earned the right to have his, as a future HOFer and super bowl champion.
As a Giants fan, I was ecstatic to beat him. As a football fan, it was bittersweet because the guy is a legend. A household name, even non-football fans have heard of Brett Favre. You wanted to see him go out on top. You just want the best for a guy like that who has given so much to the sport of football and to so many fans around the world.
Say what u want.... Brett Favre is a Packers Legend
Will ya no one will disagree
Favre was a traitor. He also cheated on and embarrassed his wife. Remember Jenn Sterger?
@@jonhohensee3258 Who are you to criticize other people like you’re perfect
He always gave his all when he played. Greenbay was lucky to have what he did. I've been a Packe r fan virtually my whole life, and I got to cheer the last four for five years of the great Lombardi teams. My big secret is I'm a native Texan! To watch Bret Farve play was so much fun because he had so much fun doing it. He was a credit to football, and he just want to play as long as he could. Thank you Green bay fans for giving him a hug in the end.
I'm a born and raised Texan...Texan through and through, but NOBODY will replace my favorite football player of all time, Brett Favre. I've been to Lambeau Field one time, took my entire family there in 2019 to watch the Packers beat "Da Bears" in 13 degree weather. As spiritual of an event that was for us, it could only have been topped by watching Brett play instead of Aaron (no disrespect to Aaron). Brett Favre did for football, what Muhammad Ali did for boxing, what Tiger Woods did for golf, and what Michael Jordon did for basketball. Brett will forever be a packer, and I will forever be a Favre fan.
I love Brett Favre! The man played football with a child’s heart! He’s the Consummate Competitor! He would play football even if he wasn’t paid! He was the IRON MAN!
And he had so much fun doing it!
How much of Mississippi's welfare money did he pay you to say that?
This man, and along with Reggie white, took a team from the absolute dumpster and made it iconic again. No one wanted to play in Green Bay. He Reggie and Ron wolf made it cool to play here again. Nice job NFL films this production was absolutely fantastic!!! Your team of videographers editors and crew should be commended!
There is nothing cool about Green Bay.... other than the weather.
Ryan - Why do you forget about Mike Holmgren?
I remember when he threw the winning TD pass to Kendrick Taylor. We all knew instantly we had something special.
@@jeffreyriley8742 - No you don't.
You damn right! And I’ll stand right next to your comment all day.
Seeing Farve and Bart hug and embrace is enough to make a grown man cry.
@@chuckchambers9565 guy has a point^
And we'll do the same for Aaron after he retires no matter where he ends up after this season
Rodgers went to the Jets like Farve
Will he play for Minnesota in 2024?? If he does than lightning strike twice
March 16th 2024 Todgers signs with Vikings and Packers will boo him in lambeau vs Vikings
I actually unlike Farve see this as a trade
Vikings get Rodgers
Jets get Kirk Cousins
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 I hope not. If he comes back from the injury
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 I would think Minnesota would want to go younger and cheaper especially if they're going to pay Jefferson
To this day when I see a private jet fly over my house in Green Bay I say here comes Brett Favre or there goes Brett Favre. My wife laughes every time.
A+ wife right there
As a lifelong Packer fan since Super Bowl One, this gives me goosebumps!! Go Pack Go!!!
Brett Favre is the reason I love football. He is the original GOAT.
As a Packers fan I almost cried when Bart Starr came out I know he played be4 I was born but I watch films of Bart Starr he was great R.I P Bart Starr
As a vikings fan, I love BretT Favre
Favre = Packers, Montana = 49er, Manning = Colts, Brady = Patriots, Rivers = Chargers
Edit: Meant to say QBs that leave their original team after long success, will be remember where they first played. That's why I didn't add Roethlisberger, Eli, Brees, Mario, Aikman, Elway. They all played for one team.
Aaron Rodgers is better in every way tho
@@fredrikramstedt3829 Better than whom? Rodgers isn't as good at leadership as any of those guys.
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xfthat´s just the narrative the media want to adress, he is the best thrower of the football of all time and it isnt even close
rivers never did anything. did he ever even win a playoff game 😂
@@fredrikramstedt3829 except in personality
I've seen this a few times and it chokes me up every time , chokes you up one minute and makes you laugh the next lol I'm a saints fan but I love Brett Favre, he was born about 30 40 minutes from where I was born so he always felt like a home boy , but if I get choked up watching him in Green Bay at Lambeau field i can only imagine how I will feel when Drew Brees walks in the Super Dome to retire his number smh man I miss that guy lol what a ride smh 🤣🤣✊🏽💪🏽
I was raised in Chicago and am a DIEHARD bears fan. It was hard watching him beat up on us but I respect him so much and he’s become my favorite quarterback of all time. So much more class than Rodgers and way more humble. Says a lot if you’re own family doesn’t talk to you.. and as a recovering addict I respect him and relate even more.
He has the coolest football name: the Gunslinger 💪
I put this on to blow by the last hour of work. I still remember that raider game he had. It was magical. You felt his Dad was present
Brett was the man in GREENBAY
Imagine if Favre was on the Vikings when they had Carter and Moss.
Imagine if the Packers had Moss.
Clearly moss didn't want to be on your team. Shocking as it may seem
@@threatassessment606 Actually he did smart ass, I'm a Pats fan. Lol
Favre and Moss were actually teammates on the Vikings for like 4 weeks lol
Imagine if football was still the same today as it was back then.
We'll never forget you Brent!
This deserves more love
Brett holding Bart Starr saying”this is awesome!” Got me in the feels lol still a kid, played the game with that type of mindset.
God bless Mr. Favre. Truly a legend and icon in the world of football. Was such a pleasure watching your games as a kid. I hope you and your family are doing well! Thanks for all the memories sir!
I'm a Carolina Panthers fan and just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video of the greatest QB of all time of the green bay packers.
I always forget Reggie white played with the Panthers also btw
That crowd brought a tear to my eye 😢
I was there!!!!!!
The ultimate football player. Such a great documentary that brings back so many memories (good and bad).
To think that Favre knew every blitz call by the Packers when they played the Packers, you would think
they would have changed the nomenclature!
Favre knew every play he Packers called. He tore them apart!
Anyone remember the hype when Brett Favre faced the Packers in 2009? Those were a couple of amazing performances by Favre.
that whole 2009 vikings season was special. they really should’ve won the super bowl that year. the team was stacked.
As a packer fan I'm only ok with those performances because we won in 2010 and blew them out lmao
Nothing as hype every since (beside superbowls ofc) except for this year, Brady vs The Patriots & BB! That'll probably be the most watched game of the year.
I remember when the Packers kicked his ass in 2010.
@@chriskay1449 The 2010 Vikings were a shell of that '09 team. Their o-line that year was absolute ass.
Watched again. Damn that man put tears on my eyes when he left. Now my kids know him as Uncle Favre ... Love that man 4 thank u always.
I was at the game favre left with an arm injury and Rodgers came in and threw his first TD in Dallas
Brett is forever the greatest not only for his records but because he loved the game and wasnt afraid to show his emotion about it
Favre was a traitor. He also cheated on and embarrassed his wife. Remember Jenn Sterger?
It’s literally killing the competitor inside Bretts soul to sit and watch his kids volleyball game. He wants to run on the court so bad
@@jonhohensee3258 you
@@AL-ts4nh ?
I DREAM of working for NFL Films to make something like this! What a beautifully, well put together short documentary.
Crazy how time flies! Good work NFL films
I wish the NFL would get over the wokeness. But your right it was great to see this happen.
I'm not crying... you are.... had the best times of my life watching #4...
1st.. I'm a lifelong New England Patriots fan.
In 96, when Brett and the Packers (with a lot of help from Desmond Howard) outdooled our gunslinger, Drew Bledsoe in 1996.. it stung.
After the pain went away I knew I'd always had a soft spot for #4 and if my team had to lose the Super Bowl to anyone I'd want it to be him.
Brett Favre played football like it should be played. With all of the joy of a reckless child. There was NOTHING that man couldn't do with the football, even when he ACTUALLY COULDN'T do it! 😂
What can I say? I love Brett Favre.
What a joy and a privilege it was to watch him play. That's exactly what he did in front of all of us. He joyfully played.
He played as hard as he could until the wheels fell literally off. I mean, what the hell else could we have ever asked for?
Thanks Brett.Forever #4
As a Packers fan living in New England and watching Brady my feelings are the same.
What about his unbreakable connection to Mississippi?
Outstanding. Like it was yesterday. Thanks for the memories Brett!
When I as a Brit picked an NFL team to follow in 1980 the Pack we're garbage , but I loved the history and the small-town team. Brett was amazing and helped transform the organization . 40 years later I still love my Packers , one day I'l get to Lambeau....respect ..
The only film known to humanity, that can make a grown man from WI cry.
Just like with what "Mean Joe Green" was to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brett Favre was for the Green Bay Packers. Very special.
Speechless. True love for life, family, friends and community. Greatness.
Family? You mean... like his wife? The woman he cheated on? Remember Jenn Sterger?
If there is one thing I would want in life before I die. It would be to spend a day fishing with Brett and talk about how this old Packer fan saw him and my experience over the years. Guess you never realize how much you can be impacted by someone till you look back. Sharing stories with Brett would be like sitting with an old friend talking about the good old days. What a beautiful time we had. One lucky and blessed Packer fan here. Thanks Brett and Deanna for being apart of this fans life.
Favre was a traitor. He also cheated on and embarrassed his wife. Remember Jenn Sterger?
@@jonhohensee3258 Yea but forgiveness is between them and is none of my business. He just wants to talk football and hangout with a relatable icon.
@@teen_laqueefa - hang out
@@jonhohensee3258 Yep you are correct. Thanks 👍
@@teen_laqueefa - He doesn't deserve loyalty from Packers fans. He told one of our opponents "beat Green Bay". He also wanted to play for Minnesota just so he'd have the opportunity twice a season to beat the Pack. He felt the Packers treated him badly by not rolling out the red carpet for him when he unretired for the third or fourth time. This was after they had visited him at his home to try to get him to come back and he had said no. He was a selfish spoiled child. And a traitor. And the crap he pulled on his wife and Jenn Sterger still counts against his character. When someone shows very poor character it should not be tolerated just because that someone can throw a football.
Hes a Legend, even though we had him for a short time, hes a packers Legend, and i wouldnt have it any other way, great Man. Great Film
The man. The legend. The gunslinger. Above all.. A Packer!
Fan entitlement is a sad thing
Yeah this whole video is a perfect example of it. The man gave them everything he had, but it's never enough.
@tylito
Very😔
Correct .. an aging still viable player presents difficult waters to navigate. The wrong moves to make in that situation are bitterness, anger. Farve played for Green Bay for more years than Jr. High, High School, and College combined. Appreciate your Packer Family member for the 15 years he gave to you. If he wants to play beyond that let him do so without resentment.
That's Green Bay for ya.
I remember watching him light up the Packers. As a Patriots fan, makes me terrified to think what Brady is gonna do.....
Tom is staying in Tampa 🏆🏆
@@Mac2Real who said he was leaving lol
@@Haaaveeyy he said he's terrified of what Brady's gunna do and I said what hes gunna do is stay in Tampa

most people will see this and say oh wow cool... but Wisconsin fans will sit here and cry how much this man changed things. I hope every fan of any other team sees this one day and will understand that QBs or players like this can change things.
Great video, kudos to NFL Films!
FAVRE 4 EVER!!! He made Football Exciting! He's a true Man!
Favre was a traitor. He also cheated on and embarrassed his wife. Remember Jenn Sterger?
Dis jawn really had me tearing up
Godspeed my guy
I love Brett, he was why i became a Packers fan. Blessed to now watch Aaron lead us.
We'll never forget you Brent.
As a vikings fan even this video got me emotional...he will always be a packer..I was so happy to have seen him play in person in 2009 when I came from Ireland...so glad he got the reception he deserves...let the past be the past...and by way us in purple are not all bad...its just a bit of rivalry...its football
I'm not a Packers fan but Favre is one of my top three favorite QB's truly miss watching him play.
Favre was a traitor. He also cheated on and embarrassed his wife. Remember Jenn Sterger?
Still the only QB in Madden history to have a toughness level of 100.
That was fantastic. Gotta appreciate a guy who loves football that much. Green Bay is a tremendous and lucky place.

Rest is peace Ted Thompson! 🙏🏻
Shoutout to that crowd in 2015 for being loud for all of us who couldnt be there. Brett is forever stamped in Packers history, we all forgave him for the vikings. Love this, thank you Brett
I have watched & listened to Enough commercials to remind me of network television ENOUGH
Great video!
That was a tear jerker.
Brett Favre was the most exciting and entertaining NFL QB to ever play. Not to mention one of the best. That's not an option. It's a fact.
Favre's int in Minnesota brought cheers.
I am a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, HOWEVER, please allow me to say, that this guy is my favorite QB. He is my favorite because of his attitude, talent, desire, and Courage. I remember that 4th down smile, trying to draw the "D" offsides, I remember him not backing down from that sloppy mean Warren Sapp..lol, I remember TD's in the snow! I remember that game against Cincinnati when he got the call, and wow it was history after that! I remember that game when the purple team was down playing his old coach in Seattle, it started snowing and it turned on, and Bret came from behind and wound up winning! I remember a great performance the day his Pops passed. I just may name my dog FAVRE! A football fan!
The clip of Bart Starr entering gave me chills when I first saw this.
This video seemed long and I was hesitant but holy cow this video was amazing. Saints fan here, all I can say is that I have nothing but love and respect for packers fans!
i was at the monday night game against the falcons the game at the end. saw farve starr and rodgers on the the same field in gb
what a time to be alive. we won that game. my first ever trip to the game all the way from va
I'm not crying, you are!
This dude is one of the best, if not the best, at making something out of nothing. The little flick and shovel passes and the crazy long throws. He did it all at a very high level until he retired.
man, this hit me hard
Brett made the game fun to watch and there was no one in the NFL that had that quality, yes he was a gunslinger and the best in the NFL at that and historically I don't think there was anyone better at it. I started watching the game again just to see him play and I've been a Packers fan for 60 years. Very fortunate to have Aaron Rodgers follow him up, went from gunslinging to precision sharpshooter. In 29 years only two quarterbacks, no one can say that besides GB.
I was disappointed when he left to go to Minnesota but he belong on that wall with the rest of the great players we have in the stadium. You gave us hope when Magic went down. For that I thank you we started dominating again !!!
Excellent video
Damnn I remember watching his first game back at Green Bay live. The sequence was unbelievable
That was the most epic record breaking right handed Hall-of-fame hand shake. "Put in the ol vice"
Me being from L.A south central to be exact. Grew up with family who where fans Raiders cowboys 49ers. For some freaking reason I got a magazine an it had favre in the pages an I said the colors are different from what I'm used to seeing but that 4 favre just got a hold of me an ever since 1992 I've been a packers fan. 2 H.O.F QB 2 in 30 + years. Thank u both 4 12 but 2 rings nah we need more. It broke my heart seeing him in the biqueens colors.
Bart, Brett, and Aaron. Amazing 👏
And now Love
"How many people's in the stands? 30?"
Really good film!
Not a packers fan but definitely glad I got to see one of the many legends play during my lifetime
I watched him win the Super Bowl with Reggie in New Orleans. He was definitely beloved by the packers fans.
Great video! Favre is a legend. He should have started playing for Tampa Bay until he was done and everything would have been cool.
