Brett Favre is the only player to beat all 32 NFL teams
October 7th, 2009 - 12:32 am ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt ( 1 comment )Minnesota, Oct 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The forty-year-old Brett Favre, notched up a cool distinction when on Monday night he became the first quarterback in history to beat all the 32 NFL teams.
According to reports, Favre passed for 271 yards and three touchdowns on Monday to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 30-23 win over Green Bay.
The three-time league MVP, who played 16 seasons earlier with the Packers, was playing in his NFL-record 273rd straight game. He connected on 24-of-31 passes.
The Vikings (4-0) have won their first four games in a season for the first time since 2003 when they won their first six, but finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
With this feat, he silenced his critics, esp. Packers general manager Ted Thompson, who had earlier replaced Brett with a younger and fitter Aaron Rodgers, two years ago.
As expected, Brett himself and his fans were over the moon. Over this feat, ”I don’t know how to explain it. I felt right, but I guess I never thought I’d be in that situation,” Favre said.
”I definitely wanted to get this win for Brett,” teammate Adrian Peterson said. ”He downplayed it all week, but I just knew it meant a lot to him. I could see it in his eyes.”

Mr. Brett Favre:
Thank you for being such a GREAT WARRIOR; my heart is broken right about now because I wanted to watch you and the Vikings in the Super Bowl; however, when I watch you struggle to get off the ground when those two guys tried to hurt you; my only wish was to pray that you come back to the Vikings next season to get a repeat; okay so now it will be to get the Vikings a Super Bowl Ring. I know how you feel but Warriors never give up until the JOB is done, Next season your line must do a better job of keeping those guys off of you or at least be more forceful kicking dirt in the other QB face once they hurt you. My favorite WARRIOR rest up; ask Mr. Peterson to get his head into the game and hold on to the ball; ask Mr. Rice to show up for the one that when we need small miracles and great catches; to the great catches made by the unknown receivers say thank you for being there; tell your guys to pull the ball out like their enemies; keep your head up because we have make mistakes; you mannedup and that is good enough from one WARRIOR to ANOTHER WARRIOR. The game was AWESONE. Now my shock is over; I pray for the SAINTS to bring home the championship because I expect you to teach them all a real lesson next season. Enjoy the off season and know YES YOU CAN because nothing is impossible (see small people still have a will to live after being buried under building in Haiti); next season WARRIOR. Thank you for your COURAGE to show up that valid my motto “Live Life with courage and dare evil to get in your way”
