Real ZooKazoo Sports Hero!!!

This post is going to talk about one of my sports heroes! Brett Favre! He is now 100 years old and is still a starting quarterback in the NFL. He has to be one of the toughest players of all-time. Playing in 267 straight games- over 16 years without missing a game. He's been the qb of the Green Bay Packers my whole life. Now, he is qb for the New York Jets after a messy dispute in the off-season. I'm glad that he's still playing and I hope he continues to play well.

One of the reasons I like him so much is that he seems to have such a good time playing the game. He seems to really enjoy it and treats it more as a game than a job. You can see it when he's laughing and celebrating after throwing td's. There was a snowy game last year where he made a snowball and threw it at a rough. There was another time when he celebrated a great play by a wide receiver by giving high fives to another ref nearby.

It seems like all the other players in the league really respect him to because he plays so hard. The usual stereotype of qb's is that they're not as tough as the other REAL players. That they don't like to get hit (that makes sense to me) or to do any hitting. Well, Brett Favre is the opposite. Sometimes on running plays, he actually tries to block 300 pound linemen. These are just some of the reasons I like Brett.

Do you like Brett Favre? Or do you not like him because you're a Minnesota Vikings or Chicago Bears fan (sorry if you are)? Do you have any other sports heroes? Let us know!
