Brett Favre Completes 20 Straight Passes in Thanksgiving Day Feasting of Lions

Did anyone catch that postgame interview with Brett Favre today?

The contrast between the boys in the studio and the player on the field was so interesting, both physically and attitude wise.

James Brown wants to talk Brett Favre—Brett Favre wants to talk Donald Driver.

"Well I'll tell you one thing that worked well for us was Donald Driver. I tell ya, he makes me look great—I threw him a couple of three yard passes, and he's almost impossible to tackle on the first go around."

Donald Driver.

Not Marvin Harrison, not Randy Moss, not Terrell Owens—but Donald Driver. A two time pro bowler, but surely not a Hall of Famer.

Favre completed 20 straight passes today. He went 31 for 41 for 381 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no picks.

He's solidfying his legacy as one the very best of all time. The spotlight is on him. But first things first: he's gotta give props to his teammate.

A bright eyed, Hollywood Hank Dan Marino with gelled hair then enters the conversation, looking 35 years old, and asks the grizzled Favre, looking like he's pushing 55, whether he's having one of his best seasons ever.

Favre looks like he has tears in his eyes—maybe it's because of the cold whether in Detroit, or maybe because talking about the game he loves brings out so much emotion in him.

He looks up and says that he feels he's better than he's ever been. That his decision making skills are more mature now, but he's still being aggresive and making plays. That he is playing as good as he can play thus far this season.

James Brown asks about Brett's thanksgiving plans. "We'll be home shortly. It's a short trip for us, but DeAnne stayed up till midnight last night cooking." Favre then elaborates on all the details of his upcoming feast.

Tom Brady is out impregnating models, and Brett Favre can't wait to get home for a hearty thanksgiving meal courtesy of his beloved wife.

It's been such a pleasure to watch Favre this season. The man is a class act, both on and off the field.

He represents everything that is good about the game of football—he has the heart of a lion and is all team all the time. He plays through injuries and pain with regularity.

And he won't quit playing football until he is physically unable to throw the ball any longer.

These are great times for the NFL fans of America. We have two outstanding teams in each league that play consistently quality ball week in and week out. We are witnessing one of the greatest individual team performances in the history of the game. A rookie runningback with Barry Sanders-like juke moves is leading the league in rushing.

And to top it all off, we have the privelege of watching Brett Favre, at 38 years old, working his magic once again.

It's the season we've all been waiting for, and it's finally here. Bring on the playoffs.
