Packers QB Brett Favre - 2007 Sports Illustrated Sportsman

Uploaded by: BaderTV
Video Description:
Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has been chosen as the 2007 Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year" for symbolizing in character and performance the ideals of sportsmanship.
Favre has started 249 consecutive games, the longest streak ever by an NFL quarterback. This season, his 16th in Green Bay, he tied Bart Starr for most seasons in a Packers uniform. He also broke Dan Marino's career records for touchdown passes and pass attempts. With 60,912 passing yards, Farve should soon surpass Marino's career record of 61,361.
Favre's Sportsman credentials include an impressive history of philanthropy. In 1996, Favre established the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, which has donated more than $4 million to charities in Wisconsin and his home state of Mississippi, including $1 million raised to assist Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties on Mississippi's Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Favre is the fourth NFL player to be named Sportsman: Terry Bradshaw (1979, with Willie Stargell), Joe Montana (1990) and Tom Brady (2005) were the others. Favre is the first Green Bay Packer to earn the honor.
