His spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is well-deserved, as he joins quarterbacks like Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Roger Staubach, among others. I’m going for a world record. For his career, he finished second to Jerry Rice in career receptions, most consecutive games with a reception (190) and most career 100-yard games (59). During Pace’s 12 seasons in St. Louis, the Rams had more gross passing yards (50,770) than any other team in that span.

Sure, Favre crossed the line with some infuriating decisions at times, but ultimately it was his fun-loving personality and insatiable will to win that put the title back in Titletown.
That event served as the final mend between the Packers, their fans and Favre, who originally retired in 2008 only to change his mind later that summer.
I wanted to find out why it was there and got reaction from fans. I went and hid in my room, and as I got up the nerve to come out later, that person and I, we played basketball, we talked. “We played two-hand touch, and we played tackle if it was snowing”. “I don’t regret anything, and that’s what I’m most proud of”. “Definitely a strong woman of faith, she fought cancer in the public eye, and not only won, but she managed to inspire so many, including myself, along the way”. “Thank you. God bless”. “It could be workouts or practice – why didn’t I complete every pass?” “She was going to be here”.
“This occasion marks the fulfilment of each and every goal I have had”, Pace said of his athletic career.
Favre’s wife, Deanna, presented him. He never told his father he heard his dad’s remark, but it stuck with him.
“I could be the only inductee of this great hall who didn’t make his high school football team”, he said. It was the last high school football game of my high school career and …
“So never discount being a father and the statements that you make. you are very important to your children”, he said. “To play a game I love so much for 20 years and have all the wonderful things happen, what a blessing”. He will redeem himself. I know that’s what my good friend the commissioner and the players union desperately want and are trying to do today. He has it in him’. “But I never had a auto growing up”.
“When he came down to MS, he said I need eight hours of you sitting pretty much still”, Favre said. My chest kind of swelled up. And, again, I never told anyone. “But I never had a vehicle growing up”.
His pure joy and unbridled exuberance in the aftermath of that game were the same exact emotions legions of Packers fans were feeling at that instance. And since then, we all know what the Packers have done.
Favre’s 186 wins are tied for the most in National Football League history. “When I’d drive home, I would say to myself, ‘This is stealing!'” “I love you. You mean more to me than anyone”.
“It was a small group of men, just 10 of them if you can believe that, 10 African-American assistant coaches in the entire NFL”. Despite reported uncertainty if Favre would play, his appearance against the Raiders never really was in doubt. “You get one of those in a lifetime and he was mine”.

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has not officially said whether Rodgers, a two-time NFL MVP, will sit out the game. “I had dreamed of playing in the National Football League, believe me, way more than I thought about my schoolwork”. If you had, somebody else might be standing here talking. You need technique and fundamentals.
