Everyone, it seems, is posting about Brett Favre’s joining the Packers Hall of Fame Saturday.

I have written a lot about the most entertaining player in Packers history, including his debut in a non-mop-up role, which didn’t look so great until the final, and most important, drive of the day — 92 yards, five plays (including a spike to stop the clock), 54 seconds, no time outs. (Followed, as you know, by the game-winning extra point that Favre was supposed to hold, but didn’t; he pulled his hands away at the last second and the ball stuck in place.)

And then, a playoff win …

… and the last great Packer moment at Milwaukee County Stadium …

… and a near-Super Bowl run that included considerable torching of Da Bears …

… and a Super Bowl win …

… and a game-winning drive for a new coach (again with no timeouts) …

… and a game-winning throw for a new coach that you cannot possibly duplicate …

… and a tribute performance to his father and high school football coach …

… and a one-play overtime in Denver:

Those are some of his highlights. There are lowlights too. It is completely appropriate that Favre holds the NFL career records for both touchdowns and interceptions, and if the NFL kept record of near-interceptions, that record would never be broken.

Sports Illustrated’s Where Are They Now? issue included a story about Favre that’s worth your time. SI.com also did an “Unplugged” story which also captures the intangible of Favre, as told by his first Packer coach, Mike Holmgren:

I still remember one time when, we’re driving, close game, and I asked him during a timeout what kind of play he liked. I grabbed him to focus him as I would on occasion. All the quarterbacks are laughing, and I’m like, what’s wrong with you guys?

Mike, Brett says, You oughta see your mustache. There’s an icicle in there.

Everyone is busting out. Then he went out and did it. He went out and scored.

Favre simply was the most entertaining Packer of all time, and maybe, between his highlights and lowlights and personality, the most entertaining NFL player of all time.
