Brett Favre anniversary...

23 years ago today,the Packers traded for a little known second round pick of the Atlanta Falcons,named Brett Favre... his first meaningful game time was,in the third game of the 1992 season,when starting quarterback Don Majkowski went down with an injury that basically ended his season,and,unfortunately,for him his Packers' career(he never got another start for the Packers),against the Cincinnati Bengals... he fumbled four times,fans booed heavily,for second backup Ty Detmer,and the Packers still down 23-17,but with 1:07 left,and on their own eight yard line,he then tossed a 42 yard pass to Sterling Sharpe,and with thirteen seconds left,tossed a touchdown pass to Kitrick Taylor,to win the game,24-23,over the Bengals... he then started an amazing 320 game ironman streak(including playoffs),against the Pittsburgh Steelers the next week,and beat them,17-3...
