With each game I play, with each season I play, I’m running out of chances. You’re never guaranteed next year. You’re never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it’s there in front of you.
BRETT FAVREWith each game I play, with each season I play, I’m running out of chances. You’re never guaranteed next year. You’re never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it’s there in front of you.
BRETT FAVREMy job is to throw passes and be a leader.
BRETT FAVREI didn’t know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that’s obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
BRETT FAVREIn this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.
BRETT FAVREI know I’m not doing myself any favors by continuing to play.
BRETT FAVREMost talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside.
BRETT FAVREI don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
BRETT FAVREThat’s kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that’s hasn’t happened.
BRETT FAVREI consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room.
BRETT FAVREYou have to believe you’re great. You have to have an air about you. My success wasn’t because I was a great talent, but because I wanted it more than anybody else. Every minute I step on that field, I want to prove I’m the best player in the league.
BRETT FAVREInjuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
BRETT FAVREYou can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it’s a tough loss, you’re down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it’s amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you’re like it never happened.
BRETT FAVREMy wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she’s probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do.
BRETT FAVREIt’s been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can’t believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.
BRETT FAVREI think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.
BRETT FAVREIn the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it’s all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
