dr z says:
Green Bay Packers (2-0) Mike McCarthy, the coach, said he wanted Brett Favre to show more consistency, which means a higher completion percentage, this year. Against the Giants he completed 76.3 percent (29-for-38) , aided largely by 14 straight at the start of the second half. He's normally not a high percentage thrower. The last time he topped Sunday's mark was in Game 6 against Minnesota in 2005 (28 for 36 for 77.8), 28 contests ago. See that, you tell the kid to do something and he does it. Who says he's not coachable?

Whoever was on FOX radio today specifically described Farves's game today as one where he was having a lot of fun.

jay mariotti:
``Football Night in America'' was a Dark Night in Chicago. Not only have the Cowboys replaced the Bears as conference favorites, the Packers are 3-0 and two games up in the NFC North. Grossman's inconsistency is more maddening when juxtaposed aganst the verve of Brett Favre, who is 37 going on 17 and back as the league's biggest feel-good story. Earlier, Favre whipped a game-winning pass that would have cut through a concrete barrier. It was a howitzer throw, leading wideout Greg Jennings perfectly on an inside slant and sprint for a 57-yard touchdown. You know what this means, I know what this means.

17yo is kinda young. "He's playing like a high schooler" isn't really a compliment.

"he's playing like a pop warner player" wouldn't be really accurate tho.

a guy my dad grew up with played for the packers and i guess the golden boy had a snootful and was acting on a sense of entitlement with someone else's date. things escalated and my dad stepped in to tell everyone to either shut the fuck up or take it to the parking lot when hornung clocked him.

forks otm:
Whatever the appropriate label, something's working. He was no game manager in the classic sense against Minnesota. He was in command from start to finish of the game's tempo and momentum, and the confidence that flowed so easily in his glory years is back in full force. Dare we say it? No. 4 is having fun again.

he didn't particularly look happy pills just before the game either. he looked INTENSE.

still having fun on bye week according to peter king's mvp watch:
4. Brett Favre, QB, Green Bay. On his bye Sunday, Favre did not chart any passes. My guess is he spent a long time cutting the grass, edging the front lawn where it meets the state highway in front of his house in Mississippi, then, for fun, watching the History Channel until he fell asleep.

We interrupt Hype Week to bring you news from the other 30 teams in the NFL. Actually, just one team. The Packers.
I'd just gone to bed without about two minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Green Bay-Denver Monday nighter, but I couldn't resist. I put in an ear-bud with the Westwood One broadcast, listening to Dave Sims and Bob Trumpy describe how the Broncos went the length of the field and forced overtime on yet another Jason Elam clutch field goal as time ran out. Then Green Bay won the toss to start overtime, and the rest soon became history.
Brett Favre, 38 but playing like 24, faded back to pass for the 14th time since the half. For the 13th time he completed the pass, according to Sims, a high-arching spiral to Greg Jennings down the sideline, caught in perfect stride at the Denver 40 over Broncos corner Dre Bly. He jogged in for the winning touchdown.
"Brett Favre is magic!!!" screamed Trumpy.
"I need oxygen!!!" screamed Sims.
Stupid me, I should have stayed downstairs, with the TV on. Now there's no way I could sleep for at least 15 or 20 minutes. My heart was beating a mile a minute, like I was there.

Green Bay Packers (6-1)
Boy, I just love to watch Brett Favre in one of those night games, whether it's Sunday or Monday. I learn all sorts of swell things about him. That the game is fun for him. That he's just a little kid at heart. "Impish," I heard at one point, or maybe it was "puckish." I don't like to brag ("Not much," says FR) but I believe I can supply a new fact. I ran the tape back and got a hang time on his winning pass, honest. It was 3.04, bad for a punt but pretty formidable for a heave.
