Today our purple general turns 40, i would just like to wish Brett Favre a Happy Birthday and hope he plays as well at 40 as he did at 39.

Was selected to play in the Pro Bowl ten times in his career.

Was a six-time First- or Second-team All-Pro selection.

Was named to the NFL 1990's All-Decade Team.

Consecutive Starts: 273 (295 including playoffs)

Career Regular-Season victories by a starting QB: 173 (Regular-season record: 173-100)

Career passing touchdowns: 472

Career passing yards: 65,964

Career pass completions: 5,805

Career pass attempts: 9,405

Career interceptions thrown: 311

Career games with at least three touchdowns: 66

AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997)(tied with Peyton Manning)

Career playoff interceptions thrown: 28 (tied with Jim Kelly)

First QB to defeat all 32 NFL teams.

Here is to more broken records(not sure how many more there are to break) and padding stats. SKOL VIKES!

ESPN has a list of his 40 most memorable TD throws:

here

Week 3 of this season comes in 3rd.

One of my favorites:

14. December 24, 1995: No touchdown pass symbolizes the toughness of Favre than this one against the Steelers. After getting drilled by three Steelers, the Packers call timeout so Favre can collect himself. Favre then coughs up blood on the sideline but returns to throw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Mark Chmura on the next play.

Man in the Arena

Now that is a QB that knows about staying in the Arena rather than watching from the stands, kabitzing/harping like Fran seems to be doing lately…Hmmmmm a bit of Sibling Rivalry/Jealousy going on here perhaps???? Go Brett!

I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

AP said in some interview video he was going to get him a gift

I wonder what it is.

REVENGE4FAVRE

I have to hand it to you. You stuck with Favre this whole time, when none of us thought he could do anything. And so far, the Vikings are undefeated, with a Win coming tomorrow. MY birthday! I am honored to have my birthday so close to the date of the greatest QB ever!

After the last two weeks he’s earned our gratitude and some Birthday wishes!

We are the vikings.......resistance is futile.

The next (new) record he breaks will be...

oldest QB to win a playoff game. Then there’s some more after that.

Let’s not forget “First QB to throw a TD using a walker.”

I wonder if Howie Long ever sacked him. If his kid sacks him that would be a strange record.

by Salty on Oct 10, 2009 12:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

That is an interesting question…

As a matter of fact, Howie Long had 1 sack in a game VS GB in 1993. Considering Favre was the only QB in that game, I think we have a possible record.

Now, if only Chris Long could figure out how to sack someone.
