Brett Favre versus Drew Brees--Very Similar Styles--who will win?
I love this thread because Brett Favre is fascinating and he's also facing a fierce competitor in Drew Brees from Purdue.
Favre is a grinder,a bull,a gloryhog,an emotional man,a person who likes to stick the dagger in the heart of the teams that he came from(ask the Packers and Jets).He's also a man that's faced great adversity personally.He's had to deal with an addiction to pain pills which is understandable.He plays every game with reckless abandon like nobody else.His wife Deanna has had to fight breast cancer,his brother Scott got in trouble with the law(I think he's in jail),and his father Irv had a heart attack and got into a car accident and died.That's a lot for anyone human being to deal with.Maybe Brett has something to prove.After his father passed away,he came through with a record performance on Monday Night Football that his dad would've been proud of.
.
His relationship with Green Bay is unfortunate.He dedicated years of taking a beating and bringing Green Bay back to the promised land and delivered.People were unaware that he was great friends with Hall of Famer and all time great Reggie White.He looked up to Reggie.White established a top notch career for himself and came to Green Bay to join Brett to try to win a super bowl and they came through.Teammates loved Brett and his special way of celebratory touchdowns.He was a grinder and Green Bay was the place for him.Age came into play and Aaron Rodgers slid into Brett's spot.That was not acceptable.Brett favre dosent play second fiddle to anyone .Especially on a team where he was a god and gave everything of himself.
Brett wanted a trade to Minnesota and he had to settle for the Jets.It was a brief relationship with yet another bad ending.
This is where things get interesting.Brett is 1 game away from the Super Bowl.He's had a spectacular season at age 40.There's going to be bad blood.He has something to prove and on a sidenote,could possibly meet the Jets.
The only team in Brett's way is New Orleans and star quarterback Drew Brees.Brees is the premiere quarterback in the NFL.He's gotten better with age and has been lighting up the scoreboard.He also shares a competitive streak and is not afraid to express his authority.Ask tight end Jeremy Shockey who didn't follow directions and carried some attitude himself.
Brees, personally,had problems with his mother....I'm not sure about the details but it's obvious by watching the fire in Brees's eyes,that he's out for blood and has something to prove also.
Two men,with two chips on their shoulders.Battle of the Titans.Two quarterbacks who have to be number one.The question is "who'll be number one" and win this game?
The game is in the Saints backyard.A city where hurricane Katrina has caused devastation.This is a toss up but after watching the Saints put a beating on the Cowboys,I'm going to pick New Orleans to go to the Super Bowl.Brees is on a mission and with Colston,Bush,and Shockey sprinkled in, they seem unstoppable. Brett has had a great season and proved his point.Congratulations go out to the Vikings but I predict that Drew Brees will be super in the Superdome and take the Saints,formerly the "aints",to the Superbowl.It's a must watch.--Don't miss it!
