Brett Favre

I like my teammates. ”

It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that. ”

I'm pretty boring really. ”

As a coach, they would love to sit there and say, 'It's going to be five steps, you're going to hitch up into a perfect pocket, you're going to look at number one - no; you're going to go to number two - no.' It doesn't work that way. ”

I love doing what I do. ”

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on. ”

That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened. ”

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life. ”

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember. ”

But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was. ”
