Brett Favre Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Brett Favre:

I'm not perfect.

So much of a professional athlete's success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with... always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad.

Brett Favre

It's been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can't believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.

Brett Favre

I consider adversity being good sometimes, you know.

Brett Favre

As you get older, you look at things differently.

Brett Favre

Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.

Brett Favre

Well even before she was diagnosed with the cancer, I would have said that she was a lot tougher than me and most guys would probably say that about their wives and it's probably true in most cases.

Brett Favre

My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she's probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do.

Brett Favre

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.

Brett Favre

I'm not perfect.

Brett Favre

I don't worry anymore about where's the big hangout Tuesday night, Friday. Couldn't tell you and no one comes to me for advice anymore in those areas anymore, so real boring I would say.

Brett Favre

That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened.

Brett Favre

And having a strong family, you know we've lost some members of our family and had some setbacks, but I think a good family and kids all those things I thought at one time... you got to be kidding me... Those things are so important they enable you to go on.

Brett Favre

The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way.

Brett Favre

God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point.

Brett Favre

In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Brett Favre

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.

Brett Favre

Life deals you a lot lessons, some people learn from it, some people don't.

Brett Favre

I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know.

Brett Favre

There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can't do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that's not going to change.

Brett Favre

Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.

Brett Favre

I, most talented players don't always succeed. Some don't even make the team. It's more what's inside.

Brett Favre

Sometimes you get caught up in what's going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you're not just a regular guy.

Brett Favre

I don't really care what's going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought.

Brett Favre

If I'm going to play, it's going to be 100-percent commitment.

Brett Favre

I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.

Brett Favre

But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.

Brett Favre

The town, the team, it's a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don't have football as an out.

Brett Favre

You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.

Brett Favre

I'm pretty boring really.

Brett Favre

I know I'm not doing myself any favors by continuing to play.

Brett Favre

Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.

Brett Favre

Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.

Brett Favre

Wisconsin's a special place.

Brett Favre

It's a difficult job to do, but that is why we do it. Only so many people can do it. But it, it enables you to... for a brief period of time to kind of get away. You have to go back and deal with, but it's a good escape.

Brett Favre

With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I'm running out of chances.

Brett Favre

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.
