Overcame a serious drug addiction to become a Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Famer. Brett Favre is simply legendary.
Gabriel Hunt and then have Green Bay fans turn on him when Rodgers came along. Shittiest fans in the league....
@@alexcorona those Vikings seasons were extremely underrated. favre's last shot to glory in his 40's was simply amazing.
@@alexcorona the fans didn't... Management made that decision.
He was addicted to drugs when he won the super bowl😂
Facts and Vicodin is very hard to get off of too
My boy farve was throwing TD after TD after TD straight geeked up on Vikes haha
Lifxzvb throwing tds off the perk 30s, perkys calling, the perkulator🥶
While playing for the vikes lmao
@@daleatsoverton3677 hahahahahahaha. Well done!!
How can he be "your boy" when you can't even spell his last name right?
Wow I didn't even know he was addicted to drugs
Henry Ha his sister got caught with a meth lab
elchucofried lmaoooo
Tony tone or he might be to young to remember that
He was at *a dozen pills* a day when he bottomed out
It’s just pain killers
I broke my back in two places playing football when I was 17 and listening to Brett Favre talk about painkillers helped me flush them down the toilet when the addiction got real.
I'm a Cowboys fan, but I got all the respect for this guy and team. He was a one of a kind. Top 5 QB all time, no debate.
I'm really glad Brett got sober, drugs can cause all sorts of losses. Glad he turned his life around. Never knew he had gotten addicted. I'm sure it happens thru out the league.
3 straight mvps but nobody talks about how he was addicted during those years.
those were the peak years of his career, after Holmgren left GB for Seattle is career went down hill.
The pills made him great
@@moonman2588 well it made him not feel alot for sure
Dusty Davis
Its like when everyone praises kurt angle for winning with a broken neck, when even he himself said the pills he was on made him feel BETTER than he ever was even with the injury.
3 straight MVPs is absolutely insane
There will never be a more entertaining NFL QB to watch on Sundays.
Guarded Soulz micheal vick
Vick??!!?!?!?!?
Ernesto Escobar That's the Dog fighting ring we are talking about football
Vick is nowhere near as good or tough or watchable then Favre...
Ovo Eli Favre was better, Vick was the greatest highlight reel, there's a difference
You have to respect the guy, I remember watching him break the TD record. His stats may be broken, but he will always be an icon.
Legalize cannabis in the NFL. They can benefit from the CBD. which means they won't be high as kit when they play.
playinragz you are so dumb. Cannabis is a life saver.
Before taking medical cannabis (marijuana) watch this video. czcams.com/video/qRhz92GKlWE/video.html
Alex D. That’s subjective.
@@JaneDoe-ci3gj You don't by any chance know John Doe do you? Any relations?
YOUniverse1234 you're name fits you very very well
Toughest athlete on the face of the Earth
Makes me sad that life has gone by so fast and ill never get to watch another brett favre again...
Sport writes the best stories.
Poochie except the Lions battle with refs.
There will never be a better QB. You can break his stats and records, but you could never be as tough as him
cams tough
Dbz dokkan fanatic Dbz lover The guy who walked out of his post Super Bowl interview is tough?
+Kaiser Amadeus physically yea
Dbz dokkan fanatic Dbz lover smh
Mattew Stafford played through a broken shoulder disk
Wow! He was so young! I was just a kid, never knew any of this was going on. The media treated him like Tom Brady in those days, he could do no wrong.
P.S. What is with the 90s, football stars and these shirts? Lol
jermed2001 the good days
jermed2001 it’s called fashion LOL
Lifelong Giants fan, I can't stand Greenbay, but Farve is easily one of my favorite quarterbacks of all time
Favre
I wasn't a big favre fan while he was playing but then I watched the game when his dad passed n he never complained n played every game no matter what he's one of the greats won't be another favre
I was never a packers fan but Brett Favre, you were a great quarterback!
What an inspiration
I remember those days; it never hurt to lose to Bret's Packers
Well, mymymy... Brett
@@brennanambrose8151 dude thank you!! I've been watching some Favre vids tonight and literally like half of these comments are "Bret"!?!?!?!
Brett
As a young kid growing up in Wisconsin I was a 49ers fans at first. Then Brett Favre came along I love watching brett and because of that I also became a packers fans. Today I'm still fan of both teams
I'm a Rodgers fan too but there's no one like Brett Favre
I was the biggest Brett Favre fan!!! He played with such passion and was as tough as nails. He'll always be my pick for the best Quarterback ever!!! #WeLoveFavre #GreenBayLovesFavre #4EVER
One of my favorite players was fun to watch!!
The way they are drugging these players to keep them going through injuries I’ll be very surprised if more players don’t have addiction just like him right now.
Very true. They don't screen for pain meds. They also don't screen to get them help either :/
bet there’s a bunch of hits that haven’t come out and saying anything
Brett was an amazing Qb even though I’m a cowboys fan I loved watching him unless he was playing us
This is one of the most powerful videos the NFL could ever put out
Even as a Vikings fan, I have to respect the man. Really a legend of the game
What do you mean even as a Viking
Brett Favre was a Viking
After Brett farve there came another legend
Who
@Mr Glass ik it was a retorical question
Oh yeah yeah
Favre
Aaron Rodgers needs rehab. I've never seen him play a game without pen dot eyes. Facts
That's because 90% of the times he's outdoors. The sun pin dots your eyes. Not saying he ain't taking them though.
LEGEND.
Could always count on this dude for a big pick
I wish I was able to watch him i was born in 2005 only got interseted in 2014
1:17 thats not Brett Favre thats Al Bundy
Favre will forever be my favorite player
I really like the game of football, however what goes on behind the scenes is leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
NFL players, pro wrestlers, MMA fighters etc some men burn their candle at both ends and arent meant to grow old.
0:16-0:20 Who hit me? Y’all better hit me harder than that
The same thing happened the first week with Rogers and the bears lol
5:06 Holding #73
wow. That's gonna have such a huge impact on the game!
His hand was In a fist. Not holding
Reggie White RIP.
anyone knows what music it is at: 5:00 min ? thanks folk
That man loved football. Cant judge him the game was on him,
Farve really reminds me of will farrell the way he trash talks
Packing In the heat.
Brett might not have been the most talented QB ever, but goddammit he was the best.
imo favre is not the best qb ever but he is the most interesting qb I have ever watched from a total head case that sucked in Atlanta to a 2 time MVP and 1 time superbowl champ/MVP its just amazing
I need the song name 0:28
I just realized the packers are the most original team they always keep the same style good about and good wr and this is in the 90s and they still have the same jerseys Nice! P.S I'm Denver fan not just going insane about Green Bay because I like them
Video starts at 0:00 thank me later
thanks
Told ya so
U da real mvp
Valerie Cusimano 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank..wait is there a price for it
As long as he has been playin he also has the most bad stats to like interceptions,incompletions etc.??
Brave Brett Favre
So that's why he signed with the Vikes
And Atlanta let him go! 🙄🤷🏾
But i get u man I really do
🐐
And in my opinion that is the most forgotten Super Bowl Contender of all time, the 1997 New England Patriots
It was the 1996 New England Patriots
Against " DA BEARS"
Thank you Chicago for all the wins over the years. If you weren't in the Pack's division We Might not of made it to the Playoffs as much😥
Brett is a great guy, I love his mentality. It may rub of strange on modern soft Americans, but it takes grit to make money.
His(everyones) health is more important than some stupid game
I think the most him because of this
When players get fed up, and quit they are immediately without insurance or any help from the league.
Vikes are the real ironman record holder
Farve is easily the toughest QB to ever play
To a thief, whom steals from the poorest in Mississippi to "donate" to his former college. Why hasn't he been brought before a judge for his actions?
Young Brett Favre sort of looks like an old John Daly.
Respect
But they made rules for greats like him to show up for the show....
I’m just saying....
mmm.... painkillers taste so good.
Brett Favre should've been Johnny Manziel's mentor. *Watch our videos and Subscribe to our channel...Thanks!*
Voice Of The Student (VOTS) not really because you can't teach what Bret farve had determined, tough, a gunslinger and just compassion for the game makes Bret easily a top 5 QB
They Hate The King -THTK LOL
He didnt want to mentor rodgers what makes you think he would care about manziel
2:59
Canelo Alvarez going to rehab
This video should serve as a promotional device for Sackler pharma. Preforming as well as Favre did while high? Simply immaculate. #oxycontin2019 #ballsackler
" There's Dorsey Levens"
Now you see him now you don't.
Watch Him Go from Stud playing in the Super Bowl. To DUD jumping Ship For More$$$$$$$$$ money
He went back two more times his addiction didn’t end there
They act like playing against the bears good is impressive lol
captain gaylord well when Brett played the Bears were better then they are now
Bears used to actually be good.
Ironically get packers ad
That’s why these football players look a little older than others is the pills and shots(needles)
Toughest human being in history
They edited Nike logos overRebok logos
Frank Blazi no they didn't nike did NFL jersey back in the day also
Before Reebok took over completely, each team had their own jersey producers. Nike, Reebok, Starter, Wilson, etc.
Super Bowl 31 rematch twenty years later?
Logan Dihel would have been funny with an upgraded Favre and Bledsoe.
Pats fans: who was Dre Bloodshow?
parks yup. Who is dre bloodshow? Not a clue lmao. I do know drew Bledsoe tho
L C don't think you're quite wrapping your head around the joke
parks lmfao he didn’t get it
Respect Farve way more than Rodgers - vikes fan
Skol TV maybe coz he played for Vikings too 🤭
Tom Brady Tom Brady is getting bad bro
Packers Fan...No respect for Rodgers. Total respect for Favre!!!
Don't pretend the team docs didn't give him those drugs over and over again.
this is all well and good for favre but what about all the other guys crippled by their "doctors and trainers" with addiction...oh they don't exist? ha sure
What a frak.
Pay back the loans, you thief!
Was he suspended after the NFL found out he took pills?
Dominus Limo no the Packer doctors gave him those pain killers. This is why lots of players want them to legalize cbd so they don’t have to use those pain killers & then get addicted to them.
"All-American", that's a different way to say all white. Still 💘 Brett Favre. MVP.
If only they were allowed to use cbd.
Was he addicted to paracetamol?
NomadicFerret84 vicodin
Wait he was on drugs? I don't believe the title. Oh I see it was medicine.
WILD DAWG its drugs too
? A pill addictions still a drug addiction last time i checked
It's a drug, from the same stuff they smoke in Pakistan. Just because a doctor prescribed it doesnt change it.
@@alexcorona he was buying them from friends that got scripts
Elway the GOAT
Public Pineapple go #7
BlueTube Games 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😎
Hell no
I see people go to jail for this same story.... addicted to self medicating.... y is he a hero but the guy working at Amazon a criminal ?
But Joe Montana will always be number 1
ImDCrazyOne FTW!!!!!!! In my opinion tom Brady is better, but joe Montana was his idol and Brady is standing on Montanas shoulders because Montana really shaped the game of football
Tom Brady*
ImDCrazyOne Savage Elway's had no supporting cast for his first 3 super bowls
Let's not forget he's thrown the most ints in league history
I will never like tom Brady CHEATER CHEETER
I guess you never cheat especially with spell check lol
