Brett Favre, in my opinion, is just a guy who loves the game of football and doesn't want to give it up.  He has such a passion for the game.  I respect that he continues to strive to improve, to push himself to the limits, to succeed ( Read more... )

My sister-in-law will turn 50 next week.  The procrastinator that I am, I've not gotten a gift yet.
