As I type, there is 6:57 remaining the 4th quarter of the NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. It's tied at 20. I don't follow the NFL like I used to, but I'm watching with a passionate rooting interest. It's all about The Brett.
I want to focus on these last seven minutes, so I'm not going to run down the 101 reasons why this game matters. There's a taste here, if I'm being too cryptic. #4 epitomizes something that transcends the game of football. He's playing for something more. Brett Favre gives us all hope.
Over a week ago I changed the header image for this site so it included a number four. Many of you emailed me, wondering what the heck it meant. It means something special. There is only one player in the National Football Player I'd do that for, and that's #4.
There is now 5:09 to play. It's Brett's time. This is for all of us.
