the guy who did the throat slash gesture and got fined by the nfl because of it?
sounds a wee bit hypocritical if you ask me......
New York, December 1, 1999 -- The NFL banned the latest fad among its players -- the "throat slashing gesture" -- used to taunt an opponent or to celebrate a big play. The league sent a letter on November 23, 1999 to all 31 teams informing them that the gesture is no longer acceptable. George Young, a league vice-president, said the gesture "appears to depict an unacceptable act of violence" and it has even been nicknamed the "O.J.".
An NFL spokesman said that if a player makes such a gesture on the field, it will be deemed "taunting" or "unsportsmanlike conduct" and subject to a 15-yard penalty. Additionally, the player will be fined $2,500. The NFL's most popular players caught on videotape making the gesture include Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers, Warren Sapp of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Keyshawn Johnson of the New York Jets and Willie Whitehead of New Orleans Saints. In Whitehead's case, he made the throat slashing gesture after sacking St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner in a November 28th game. Field officials did not penalize Whitehead. However the gesture was replayed numerous times on TV, and he was fined from the league, according to the Washington Post.Leave a comment:

Many people of southern area (Louisiana and Mississippi are) have french blood in them. Look at some of the town names. Read some of the early history of the Americas.
Favre is about as french as you can get. When translated it means smith or ironworker.
So some where is his family history a ancestor was an iron worker.Leave a comment:

Thats the Brett Favre i like.
Even though im a Broncos Fan , i have always liked Farve , i live in the south and have followed this guy's career since he played at Southern Miss, i loved it when he led the Golden Eagles in a upset win over Florida State who was ranked number 1 at the time and i love it that he is playing good in the playoffs again, the only time i root against this guy is when he plays Denver, i hope to see a Packers vs Patriots super bowl with Brett pulling the Biggest upset of his career.
