What drives the NFL fans to be still obsessed with Brett Favre?
Is it because he more often then not played the game like a kid on a sandlot? Are we all still searching for that little kid inside all athletes and hoping that they all enjoy the fact that they make millions to play a game?
Is it hoping that he catches lightening in a bottle and goes out via John Elway?
Not just Packer nation, but the nation of NFL fans seem still to grasp hold of the legend that is Brett and can't seem to let go.
It is the only reasonable explanation for this obsession that the media seems to have in reporting every little movement that Brett makes..
Or is it just about web hits and traffic? Brett sells you know..
D'OH... now I contributed to the obsession.. 10 lashes with a wet noodle please..

3. He's been up front and very candid most of his career
4. The streak. His determination and toughness, his regular guy attitude

Grave - I'm glad you answered Pack's original question because it was starting to go off on a tangent again.
I'll add a #5 - he's such an "every day guy" that folks almost can live vicariously through him. Heck, in this depression, all the more reason to root for an every day guy to make it.
I'm hoping he plays for the Vikings and they win 14 games (losing 2 to us while we win 16) and he throws for 30+ TDs. I'll always love the guy for entertaining me for all these years. Since he started playing football, I've been through 3 layoffs, 2 pretty bad recessions, homeless, through college, through graduate school, had a child, got married, made and lost a fortune in the stock market, played in what I thought would be my final Heavy Metal band, changed my career a bunch of times, and so much else that I could go on forever. Through it all, Brett Favre started game after game, for the Packers except for last year. That's awesome. That's consistent, something you just don't see in football.
