BRETT FAVREI’ve always shown up, always been prepared. Everything I do comes back to the example I want to set.

BRETT FAVREInitially, I know that I handled it worse than she did and I think partly because I’ve always been… every bit of adversity I’ve faced up until the last year and a half is adversity I brought upon myself – or the opposing teams have given me.
