He grew up in a small town in Mississippi, with a strong father, loving mother, and great siblings. They lived in a rural area but in a house big enough to make sure that everyone was welcome. He was always taught to work hard and sweat harder. This man\u2019s name is Brett Favre, and he grew up to become one of the strongest, most powerful, and most recognizable quarterbacks in the National Football League. He broke records and won awards every season of his nearly two-decade long career.
\nBrett Favre is known for a lot of things in the NFL, and was one of the league\u2019s most influential stars throughout the 1990s and even into the 2000s. He played for a whole plethora of teams, including the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings. However, he is most well-known for his role on the Green Bay Packers, where his cannon of a throwing arm really put him on the map.
\nWell loved by everyone for his friendly and easy going attitude, he treated everyone kindly and with respect. However, there were certain times when his friendliness would devolve into a scandal, and the lives of him and the people involved were severely affected.
\nHowever, with all of this good came deep, stinging pain, both physically and emotionally. From becoming addicted to painkillers to missing out on his home life with his family and young daughter, all the way to his not being taken back by the Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre\u2019s journey has not been without pain and sacrifice. And yet, despite all of this pain – from the texting scandals involving hostesses and massage therapists all the way to his severe addiction to prescription painkillers – he was still able to become an inductee into the NFL Hall of Fame. This is Brett Favre\u2019s emotional, rollercoaster of a story.
\n[post_page_title]Brett Favre: the untold story[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre is one of the greatest\u00a0football players the sport has ever seen. A talented quarterback with a magical hand. But the way to stardom was not easy for him. From raising two daughters and the death of his father to his very own pill addiction and various scandals (including the embarrassing “texting scandal”). This sports great has definitely seen it all. This is his untold story.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Before the scandal: an exceptional talent\u00a0[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre hails from the small hamlet of Kiln, Mississippi. This tiny town of only 2,000 people ensured that someone with Favre\u2019s skills would quickly become a big fish in a small pond. The fact is that even now, despite the fact that the town is on the other side of the country, Green Bay Packers signs are everywhere. Kiln is about an hour outside of New Orleans and a half hour from Biloxi.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The childhood home[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter the Favre family moved into Kiln, they decided to build themselves a giant house with a huge deck. The family loved to entertain as much as they could, and they also had enough acreage to hunt and fish to their heart\u2019s desire. Interestingly, one of the reasons the family wanted such a big house was because Favre\u2019s father wanted to have as many parties as possible without having to leave home.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The first game ever[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen first starting out, Brett was not picked to be the quarterback of his Pee Wee team. In fact, while playing in his elementary school\u2019s \u201cFifth Grade Jamboree,\u201d Brett ended up scoring three running touchdowns. However, to his dismay, when he scored the third touchdown, a jealous player from the other team came and pulled his pants down. Talk about being a sore loser and having no sportsmanship.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The dad coach[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen Brett Favre eventually went out and joined his high school football team, he was put in as the primary defensive blocker. The high school football coach was always a lot harder on him than on the rest of the team and always pushed Brett to do better and work harder. This harshness could have been because the coach was actually his very own father who just wanted the best for his son.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The car accident[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett would eventually go on to leave Kiln and play football at the University of Southern Mississippi. In his first game was sent in to help his team win when they were down, and Favre led his team to a 31-24 comeback victory. However, his career nearly ended when he was in a car crash which ended with doctors taking out 30 inches of intestines. Instead of resting, he went out to play against University of Alabama and took his team to victory 27-24.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Picked by the Falcons[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre would leave college and eventually get picked to be a player for the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 as the 33rd overall draft pick of the season. However, he never really played, and was instead used by the coach to win bets about who\u2019s player can throw the ball the farthest, with Favre enabling the Falcons coach to consistently win. The coach would also berate him for being from Mississippi.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The beginning of the addiction[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre took pride in his ability to be such a dependable player and athlete. He relished in the fact that his teammates, coaches, and of course his fans could rely on him to perform near miracles on the field nearly week after week. However, this led to him neglecting himself and his body. He started to take painkillers to mitigate his chronic football pain and then began to take the pills regularly and recreationally.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]High school sweetheart[\/post_page_title]
\nDeanna Favre is Brett\u2019s wife, and the two have been together since they were in their freshman year of high school. They were together all during their college years and even gave birth to a daughter in 1989 who they named Brittany. This came at a difficult time in their lives as they were both young college students with no money, and their parents could not really afford to help them out.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Paving the way to the texting scandal[\/post_page_title]
\nThree years into Brett\u2019s Green Bay Packers career on the other side of the country, Deanna was having a tough time with the long distance relationship. Deanna wanted baby Brittany to have a father, and she wanted to be close to her partner. Therefore she decided to move up to Wisconsin to be with him. However, it was only then that she realized the Brett was not right and that he was addicted to pills.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Getting treated[\/post_page_title]
\nIn terms of getting off of pain pills, Favre admitted to the world that he was in fact addicted, and then stated that he would be going to a treatment facility in order to break his addiction of the medications. Deanna was sure that this rehab treatment would destroy their relationship, but to her shock, it only strengthened the bond between the two. Brett asked Deanna to marry him after he got out.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Net worth: the\u00a0$110 million man[\/post_page_title]
\nWith so much success and him being a household name for nearly two decades, we would expect Brett Favre to be doing quite well financially. However, we were not prepared for how well this Mississippi southern boy was doing. He is worth approximately $100 millio and receives about $9 million per year from various endorsements. And since he lives on a ranch, he does not seem to be spending that much either.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]No time for scandals[\/post_page_title]
\nOn October 2004, 35-year old Deanna Favre went to a routine gynecological exam. Her physician checked a lump in her breast that she discovered accidentally a few months before. The doctor was suspicious and he decided to send her to perform a biopsy in the Van Dyke Haebler Center for women. The result came the next day – she had breast cancer. After receiving the news, Deanne and her family were crushed. She told herself that everything will be fine, as she puts her trust in gold and faith.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Chemotherapy[\/post_page_title]
\nFortunately, the doctors informed Deanna that her cancer was Stage II, which is a relatively early stage and could be handled without removing her breasts. She had four rounds of chemotherapy and six weeks of radiation. Very soon, she lost her hair yet she remained strong and confident. Brett decided to announce her illness in public, which led to an overwhelming support from the fans. After a few months, Deanne\u2019s wishes finally came true as the cancer was finally gone. Since then, Deanne began a leading activist and fundraiser against the disease.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The huge\u00a0move[\/post_page_title]
\nIn the middle of the 1991-1992 NFL season, the Falcon\u2019s coach got bored of Favre and decided to trade him to the Green Bay Packers. They were impressed with Favre and wanted the rookie to star as the Packers\u2019s second string quarterback. However, just two games after being traded, Brett was forced to step out onto the football field and perform on account of the first string quarterback being injured. Brett would lead the Packers to victory over the Bengals 24-23.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Didn’t understand the instructions [\/post_page_title]
\nOne of the things that made Brett Favre so deadly on the field was his ability to run the football so quickly down the field. This strange strategy was actually done for a reason – Brett just did not understand the plays well enough for him to fully predict where his teammates were supposed to be on the field. When receiving instructions from coaches, he would just nod and smile, pretending he was understanding what they were telling him.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The cannon hand[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre had the strongest throwing arm the Green Bay coaches had ever encountered. They said that one of the main reasons Brett was so crazy and reckless on the field was because he knew that he could simply thread a football between two defenders due to how fast he threw the ball. In fact, he would throw the ball so hard that receivers would be injured trying to catch it.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Record breaking throws[\/post_page_title]
\nBy Favre\u2019s second season he was already beginning to break long standing records including bringing the Green Bay Packers to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. He also broke the team\u2019s all time pass record in 1994 and sent the team back to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. However, Brett did not take care of his body like he should have been and ignored his injuries.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]One step closer to the texting scandal[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter Brett finally proposed to Deanna after dating for close to a decade, Brett decided to forgo the honeymoon and get back to Green Bay for that season\u2019s training camp. This showed Deanne she was not his first priority. While in rehab he decided that he wanted to be better all around, and decided that he would bring the Packers all the way to the Super Bowl. With a noticeable fire in his eyes, Brett Favre got to work.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title] Second daughter[\/post_page_title]
\nThe Favre family welcomed their second daughter Breleigh back in 1999. She came into the world as her dad was at the top of his game, scoring various lucrative sponsorship deals, TV appearances, and demi-god status with fans of the Green Bay Packers. However, despite all of this, Favre made sure to remain a grounded, level headed individual who was relatable to everyone he met.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Fun dad, not so\u00a0loyal husband[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough, the illusion of him as\u00a0a loyal husband will soon come to its\u00a0sour end,\u00a0Brett Favre is\u00a0known as a fun dad. He was that father who blasted country music as loud as he could while dropping his little girls off for school while the rest of the parents listened to public radio. Brittany has a fun story of her father throwing dozens of tennis balls at her as she was walking into school, and her trying to throw them all back at him. He did this to embarrass her in front of her friends.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The comeback[\/post_page_title]
\nOverall, Brett Favre\u2019s battle with his addiction to painkillers, along with his coming back from the rehab center in better condition than ever before really made the Green Bay fans love him. He was not only the star of their favorite team, but someone who also goes through his own personal struggle with his everyday vices just like any average guy. Once back from rehab, the fans always backed up their quarterback.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bigger and better than ever[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter coming out of rehab, and with the fire of beating a conquering his vice burning in his eyes, Brett Favre led the Packers to their best season in more than three decades. The team led the NFL in scoring during the 1996 season, and even went to win the NFC Championship. According to him, that NFC game was the most meaningful event in his career due to the huge amount of support he received. He beat the Panthers 30-13.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Home again[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre followed through on the promise he set for himself and for his team at the beginning of the 1996 season to take the team to the Super Bowl. It must have been a sign therefore that the big game was to be held in New Orleans, just a short one hour drive from his parents\u2019 home in Kiln, MI. It was time to go head to head with one of the NFL\u2019s best teams, the New England Patriots.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Audibly better[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre somehow made it all the way through a career in college football without ever knowing what a nickel defense was. But that had all changed by the time he went toe to toe with the Patriots in the Super Bowl. He was able to predict what the defense was going to do perfectly, giving audibles to his players to switch up plays. Because of this ability, Brett was able to beat the Patriots 35-21.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]America’s darling[\/post_page_title]
\nThe entirety of the United States fell in love with this man from Mississippi. He was a genuine guy who was relatable to people of all ages, creeds, and colors. This was at a time when most sports stars were similar to European primadonna soccer players who had no idea how to interact with the average person. However, despite winning the Super Bowl, Brett knew that there was much more that needed to be done.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Everyone’s friend[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett Favre was known amongst his teammates for being a huge joker and goof. He was willing to talk and joke to anyone about nearly anything, provided that they were willing to do the same with him. He was adored by everyone from the janitors and the CEOs of the organization to the ball boys and secretaries, as well as his entire team. Favre says he was nice to everyone simply because that is the right thing to do.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Death of a dad[\/post_page_title]
\nBrett\u2019s father died in 2004 which simply devastated both him and his family. Favre looked up to his father, and his father was the reason he started playing football in the first place. There was an NFL game the day that his father died, but Favre knew that he would have to play. His father would not let something as trivial as his own death stop Favre from getting out on the field.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Favre’s best game ever[\/post_page_title]
\nThe game against the Oakland Raiders began. However, in a tribute to how well loved Brett Favre was all across the United States, both Raiders fans, as well as Green Bay fans, gave him a standing ovation as he went out onto the football field. As if to throw away all the grief he had pent up inside, Brett played his best ever game of football, with four touchdowns thrown in just the first half.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Beginning of the end[\/post_page_title]
\nFavre was on top of the world and imagined that he would be there for quite some time. However, when the Green Bay Packers picked up quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Favre sensed that something was going on. Brett was happy to have Aaron, so long as Aaron did not actually have to play. However, Aaron was somehow able to get into Favre\u2019s head, and he played his worst ever season that year.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Fighting for the hill[\/post_page_title]
\nIt took two years, but in the 2007 season Favre went back to break record after record that season, giving both his team as well as the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin win after win. His teammates, spurred on by Favre’s fire and the energy from the fans made it all the way to the NFC championships. Yet, Brett Favre, everyone\u2019s favorite quarterback, choked. His team lost to the New York Giants 20-32.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Over?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt was after that season that Brett Favre said that he wanted to quit football. However, during the off season he changed his mind and tried to get added back onto the Green Bay roster. He went to go play for the New York Jets and scored a $100 million contract. However, he did not perform well that season and was traded to the Vikings. He was so excited to beat the Packers in any way he could that he got the Vikings record of 12-4.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Ending on his terms[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, at the age of 40, his body simply could not sustain the force of a 300-pound lineman freight training his way into his body any longer. It was for this reason that he ended up quitting for good, yet on his own terms. When he quit, the Green Bay Packers, invited him to the stadium for a ceremony in which Favre\u2019s number 4 was retired from the team\u2019s roster out of respect for him.
