Always Anna

I almost hyperventilated when I tore the ad cover off of my new Sports Illustrated yesterday, revealing that Brett Favre has won the 2007 Sportsman of the Year honor.

Alan Shipnuck writes in the article, “He has rarely been flawless… but he’s always shown up.  Through pills and booze, through cancer and car crashes and heart attacks, he has played on. … It is for his perseverance and his passion that SI honors Favre with the 54th Sportsman of the Year award.  But there is more to his story than on-field heroics.  On game day the whole of Green Bay may live and die on Favre’s rocket right arm, but his greatest legacy lies in how many people he has touched between Sundays.” 

Brett, I love you.  And I admire you too!
