Brett was the second of four children and attended Hancock North Central High School where he played baseball and soccer. Favre started for the Hancock North Central baseball team as an eighth grader and got five university letters. He plays as a quarterback, lineman, strong security, placekicker, and spectator in a top choice, a run-oriented offense trained by his father, Irvin Favre, who is the head coach of the Hawks football team.
Irvin Favre says he knows his son has a great arm but also knows that the school is blessed with a good back. As a result, within three years Brett was on the team, his father running a wishbone, a run-oriented offense. Favre rarely throws more than five bait in one game.

It was Strahan's only sack of the game and gave him a record of the NFL single-season sack of 22.5, which topped Mark Gastineau's record of 22 sets in 1984. The controversy (Favre fell so easily) has followed Strahan continuously since he set a record. Jim Fassel, Strahan coach in 2001, said that when a respected athlete like Strahan is close to an all-time record, sometimes opponents want him to break it.
On March 1, 2001, Favre signed a "lifetime" contract extension, technically a 10-year contract extension worth approximately $ 100 million.
Favre and Packers continue to post positive results over the next few seasons. Throughout the 2004 season, the Packers had the longest unseasoned streak (13) in the NFL, despite an 8-8 record under head coach Ray Rhodes, a 9-7 season under head coach Mike Sherman, and no playoff berth either in 1999 or 2000.

The Brett and Deanna properties in Hattiesburg, Mississippi were also badly damaged by the storm. Favre was selected to continue playing in the 2005 season.
For the 2005 season, the Packers, despite throwing more than 3,000 yards to a record 14 times in a row, Favre has a season below average with just 20 goals and 29 interception leagues. The loss of guards Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle to free agents along with key injuries to Javon Walker, Ahman Green, Bubba Franks, among others, hampered Favre and the team. His girlfriend's rating was 70.9, 31 in the NFL and ranked one worst season of his career. After a disappointing season, many speculated that Favre would retire. However, on 26 April 2006, Favre announced that he would remain with the team for the 2006 season. Despite earlier comments that the 2006 season would be the last, Favre announced in a press conference on May 6, 2006, that he did not rule out the possibility to return after the 2006 season.

Beginning near the end of the 2006 season, word began to emerge that Favre was considering retirement. In fact, playing at Soldier Field against the arch-enemy Bears at the end of the season, Favre was applauded in the closing seconds of Packer's triumph as a show of respect from Chicago fans for their long-time foe. Moments later in a postgame interview, he gave a tearful interview with an NBC Sports correspondent, where he admitted his future is still in question. However, after much debate, he returned for the 2007 season, where his future was once again in doubt and frequently discussed topics, with many in the media speculating that if the Packers made the Super Bowl, Favre would indeed retire and hand over the reins to Aaron Rodgers who have not proven but talented, designed two years earlier as Favre's heir. In the end, the Packers fell in the NFC Championship to the New York Giants (who in turn defeated the much loved and previously unbeatable New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII).
On March 4, 2008, Favre officially announced his resignation. Although Favre stated that he has been willing to play for another year, he feels that another season will only succeed if he leads his team to another Super Bowl victory. He added a chance to win a small Super Bowl, and that he was not ready for a challenge. At his press conference, Favre openly wept for leaving the NFL. He stated that his decision, regardless of what was said in the media, had nothing to do with what Packer did or did not do. As if to contradict the statement made by his agent, Bus Cook, Favre said that his decision to retire was based on the fact that he did not want to play anymore. He said during the conference, "I know I can play, but I do not think I want to and that's exactly what happened."
On July 2, 2008, it was reported that Favre was in touch with the Packers about the possibility of returning to the team. On July 11, 2008, Favre sent a letter to Packer requesting an unconditional release to allow him to play for other NFL teams. Packers general manager Ted Thompson announced he would not give Favre an unconditional release and reaffirmed the organization's commitment to Aaron Rodgers as his new quarterback. The complicated things are Favre's unique contracts that give him the leverage to cancel potential trades by not reporting to the team camps to be exchanged if the Packers choose to go that route.
Favre spoke publicly for the first time about his comeback potential on July 14, 2008, an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Channel Recorded with Greta Van Susteren . In the interview, Favre said he was "guilty of early retirement", that he was "never fully committed" to retirement, and that he was pressured by the Packers to make a decision before the NFL Draft and early signing agent free period. Favre denied the notion that he did not want to play for Green Bay and said that while he understands the organization has decided to continue, they should now allow him to do the same. He explained that he would not return to the Packers as a backup and reaffirm his desire to be released rather than traded, which would allow him the freedom to play for a competitive team. Favre also accused Packers of being dishonest, hoping the team would be candid with him and the public.
In the second part of the interview, which aired on July 15, Favre expressed his frustration with Packer's management, talking about his sympathy for Aaron Rodgers succession issues, and insists he was 100 percent committed to playing football in 2008.
Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reported on July 16, 2008, that the Packers filed allegations of allegations against the Minnesota Vikings with the league office, accusing inappropriate communication between offensive coordinator Vikings Darrell Bevell and Favre, although one source stated that Favre may have been in contact with the coach head of Vikings Brad Childress. After the investigation, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell decided there was no violation of the rules of destruction.
Favre officially filed a recovery with the NFL on July 29, 2008, and the request was given by Goodell Commissioner, effective Aug. 4, 2008. Favre then flies to Green Bay to report to the Packers training camp. After a long meeting with head coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson, however, both sides agreed it was time for Favre and the organization to split up. McCarthy felt Favre was not in the "right mindset" to continue playing for the Packers, while Favre felt that his relationship with Packer's management had deteriorated to the point that a return to the team would not be sustainable.
The Packers have announced plans to retire jersey # 4 Favre in the 2008 season opener. The plan was canceled when he announced plans to return to the NFL. In March 2009, the Packers indicated that the team still intended to stop the number of Favre, but due to circumstances surrounding his departure from the team, no timetable was set.
New York Jets (2008)
After negotiating with Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Jets, the Packers traded Favre to the Jets on August 7, 2008, in exchange for a conditional fourth round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft with a performance escalation. The Favre season with the Jets started well; in Week 4 of the 2008 season, he threw six goals against the Arizona Cardinals, the best and one from the NFL record. This performance made him selected as FedEx Air Player of the Week. By the 12th week, the Jets had set a record of 8-3, including a victory over the previously unbeaten Tennessee Titans. However, the Jets lost four of their last five games of the season, including the final game against opponents of AFC East Miami division, who have secured quarterback Chad Pennington after he was freed from the Jets to make room for Favre. In those five matches, Favre threw eight interceptions and only two touchdowns passed, bringing his total season to twenty-two each. Favre complained of shoulder pain and performed an MRI on December 29, 2008, which revealed a torn biceps tendon on his right shoulder. After the 2008 season ended, in mid-January 2009, Favre told Mike Tannenbaum's Jets General Manager, "maybe it's time to look in a different direction" about the quarterback position. On February 11, 2009, Favre informed the Jets that he retired after 18 seasons. He remained a part of the Jets organization until April 28, 2009, when the Jets freed Favre from his contract, allowing him to sign wherever he wanted. In May 2009, he was officially cut from the Jets Reserve/Retired list. In September 2009, Favre again made the Jets news, as the NFL learned that the Jets realized that Favre injured his arm in the eleventh match of the 2008 season, and fined the $ 125,000 Jets for not reporting any injuries in any of the Jets' last five games.
Minnesota Minnesota Vikings (2009-2010)
After the offseason speculation, Favre was formally signed with Minnesota Vikings on August 18, 2009. He will go on to have a historic season where he surpassed former defensive final Jim Marshall to start in a row in one position, with 291, becoming the first quarterback in history NFL to beat every one of the 32 franchise leagues since the first NFL expanded to 32 franchises in 2002, surpassing Dan Marino's previous record for four-touchdown games, and named the Pro Bowl to-11. The Vikings finished 12-4 and advanced to the NFC Championship game, eventually losing in extra time to the Super Bowl XLIV champion finally the New Orleans Saints. Despite the loss, Favre set the playoff record to pass and pass yards previously held by Joe Montana.
On 3 August 2010, NBC Sports reported Favre's confirmation back to the Vikings but said that the 2010 season would be his last season.

He threw for a touchdown of the 500,000 and 70,000 yard against the New York Jets. On November 7, 2010, in a game against the Arizona Cardinals, Favre made a 446-yard career ride while garnering the Vikings from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win in extra time. On 5 December 2010, in a game against Buffalo Bills, Favre was hit by Bills midfielder Arthur Moats during a throw, causing him to defend an AC joint sprain on his right shoulder. Favre missed the rest of the game and was replaced by Tarvaris Jackson, who helped lead the Vikings to victory despite throwing three interceptions.
On December 13, 2010, due to his dislocated shoulder, Favre was marked inactive for the game against the New York Giants which ended his successive successive season in 297. Favre embarked on a total of 321 matches including a post-season appearance. On December 20, 2010 while playing the Chicago Bears outside at TCF Bank Stadium due to the collapse of Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome roof, Favre suffered a concussion after being fired by the defensive end Bears Corey Wootton.
