Brett Favre is a class act


Brett Favre, Donivan McNabb, the Packers vs. the Eagles. Who do you root for?

On one side stood Donivan McNabb who had a slow start on the field this season not to mention the harsh comments made against him off the field.

It seemed as though he had a huge mountain to climb to prove himself worthy to hold his quarterback position.

Well, he did and has taken his team to the playoffs. It almost seems as though he is the underdog, so it was hard to pull against him.

Then the cameras switched to the other side and showed Brett Favre. What a class act this guy is. Oh sure, he has had his problems but came through them with his head held high.

He didn't quit and let it get the best of him; he is one of the most respected and talked about quarterbacks in professional football.

As you probably know Favre lost his father this season. Once again, he kept going. Instead of taking a few weeks off, he chose to play in the game that Sunday.

The camera shots showed him on the sidelines laughing with his teammates, but you could see the tears in his eyes. He is an important factor to this team, and he wasn't going to let them down even in his time of loss.

McNabb and the eagles went on to win the game with a field goal in overtime. Now the Eagles have the chance to win the NFC Championship and play in the Super Bowl. Favre on the other hand has to go back home and deal with the death of his father.

Favre may not have won the Super Bowl or the NFC Championship this year but maybe something far greater, the hearts and respect of millions with his dedication and character.
