Brett Favre Hall of Fame Speech | 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame | NFL 

I'll never forget the night after Favre's dad passed away. That was the most magical night of football i've ever witnessed. The Raiders fans were some of the most brutal fans in sports and even they were rooting for Green Bay that night, it was such an explainable feeling watching that game.

Most consecutive starts played by a quarterback. Whatever records you may think of, I might bet my life savings that it won't ever be broken. Toughest quarterback ever.

As a Raider fan, I'm glad we treated you well in a time of great heartbreak. I always like Farve

He is proud of you brother,, I bet he's telling everyone in heaven," look at my boy! He's in the Hall of Fame!"

I live in Green Bay and have been a Packer fan since 1951. I have seen all of the greats play and no one ever brought more excitement to the Packers and the community and the state of Wisconsin then Brett.

I can't help but notice it is more about those who helped make him who he is rather than about him. Class.

I can't believe he's in the hall of fame, I never thought he would be in it because he never would retire to get inducted. GOAT

Farve is all heart. This made him fun to watch and easy to root for.

I'm a BEARS FAN AND .....I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!

Brett Favre has got to be one of the dopest athletes of all time, dude loved to play the game and it showed on and off the field.

According to my Mother in Law ' I never threw a interception that was my Fault'.. Priceless..

Even as a die hard bleed orange blue and white Bear's fan, nothing but the utmost respect for this guy. One of the greatest EVER!

The amazing thing is : Brett was already a hall of famer before his dad died. Brett was a hall of famer by 2001. #Favre4Ever #Legend

Favre would've dove for the fumble

What a speech!! Just exactly like he played the game! He was one of my heroes growing up, glad to finally see him get into the HOF. Go Pack Go!!

Brett Favre is outspoken about not being a perfect human being.... just a guy with true grit and determination to become a better person.... addiction, personal issues.... I live in new england, its 2021 and damned near sacralidge to say anything other than Brady being the GOAT.... this man is a MAN who KNOWS it wasnt just his abilities but the support of others te that got him here.

One of the best HOF speeches I have ever listened to. Well done Brett.

One of the greatest. If you're a real fan this will bring you to tears.

Favre gave love to Raiders fans and the late Kenny Stabler. 💯🙏

What I love about Brett is he gave it a 120% in every game and played with such passion.

Any other fifty something year old men tear up when he talks about his father?? My wife will never get why this game is so important to many of us.

Bretts father was with him at that Oakland game...what a legacy for father and son

This was definitely one of the most honest, incredible speeches ever. It's unfortunate there are some idiots on RU-vid who decide to post stupid stuff and not honor Brett for his career. Was he perfect? No! Did he make mistakes? Yes! But you know what? He will always be a legend on and off the field.

I am not a Packers fan but man I loved watching this guy play. He was all heart! And one hell of an arm. I'm not saying he was the greatest but he was the most exciting QB to watch play by far.

Favre is such a beautiful soul . Best Hof speech I've ever heard. He talks about everyone else and his family rather then him. Simply amazing . Love this . The way it should be.

Favre is the definition of tough and disciplined. he earned everything he got.

Favre has my respect. Inspirational. He talked more of family members achievements than his. He's a lucky guy You can see that his wife was a huge part of his success. His family for that matter. Maybe it's what gave him the strength to do all that he did? I miss him.

Toughest quarterback to ever play he is all heart! Congrats Brett I loved watching you play.

Die hard Steelers fan here: That being said, it was a great honor watching “The Gunslinger “ play against my beloved Steelers.

I'm a cowboys fan but I'm an even bigger Brett favre fan the greatest quarterback to ever step on a football field congratulations Brett thanks for the memories

that's a guy who really really really loved football that's why it was hard for him to retire.Congradulations well deserved

NO player has EVER done MORE for a franchise than Favre did for Green Bay... When he came to GB, The Packers were the "Cleveland Browns" of the NFL. They hadn't won in years and there was even talk of folding the franchise because they had fallen to the bottom of the league financially and had little hope of creating the revenue that Dallas or New York could. When you went to Green Bay back then, your career was over. It was just to get one last paycheck before exiting the league. But Favre changed all of that. He put fans in the seats wherever he went. Ron Wolf got Reggie White to come to Green Bay because White saw that things were beginning to turn around and that was because of Favre. I was in a sports bar the day Favre came off the bench to replace The Majik man. There were TWO of us in that bar watching the Packers that Sep. day. 2 years later there were 200. That was Favre. Say what you will about Brady, Manning, and Montana, but NO ONE has been the face of a franchise like Favre and NO ONE did more with less. The only HOF players he had was White and Moss. He played for 7 different head coaches. T.B. P.M. & J.M. played for a combined 5 head coaches. He didn't have the luxury of a dome, perfect west coast weather, a HOF core of WR's, a HOF coach for his entire career, or an O-line that could give him 8 seconds to throw, or 4-5 rec. sets to throw a 2 yd. hitch passes to. He had to compete against the 9er dynasty, the Cowboy Dynasty, and the pretty good Viking team with Moss & Co. in his own division. He didn't have rules that forbade touching the QB below the waste or forbid helmet to helmet contact. He didn't get the privilege of his WR's not being touched after 5 yds. He took more shots head on than TB PM & JM combined, yet he never missed a start. Vicodin....? That was ONE year...! He once lead the league in passing with a broken thumb on his passing hand...! He carried his teams for more than TB, PM, or JM ever had to. It was Favre who got Lambeau field remodeled, put GB back on the map, gave a re-birth to "Packer nation" and under his leadership, became the winningest QB in NFL history. And what QB could play from 1916-2016, in any era, any system, any coach, and under any rules...? That makes him the GOAT....! Say what you will about Favre, but his kind will NEVER be seen again.

And another nail in the coffin of my childhood is driven in...

Too many QBs and different offensive schemes that each QB ran, so I don't think any QB can be called the "best QB ever"... but WITHOUT A DOUBT, FAVRE WAS THE MOST EXCITING QB TO EVER PLAY THE GAME! From underhand passes to left hand tosses to sideline pranks to tackling his own players in the end zone after a TD... NOBODY played the game like him.

I have met Brett, in the 90s, a summabich gunslinger for the Packers, he had yet to win a SB then, but I was a huge fan, I got lucky to go to a training camp to see him play and he was about to enter the practice field, with a cowboy hat on, I said, "Yo Favre!" He looked right at me, and I asked if he could sign this football card (had him wearing a falcon jersey) But it's one of the most amazing moment of my life (also met Sterling Sharpe who I was a huge fan too, great combo of these two) I wish I could watch a videotape of that moment... thank you Brett!

The most REAL person in NFL history. That's why we all loved him and still love him so much.

Brett's HOF speech is just as heart wrenching as Jim Kelly's was in 2002 ! Believe me, I know- I was there in 2002 for Jim's Hall of Fame Enshrinement ! That was a weekend I will never forget !

Best part is starting off with Kenny Stabler respect well deserved and im sure his family was thankful for it

This guy is probably one of the classiest players to ever play football.

he is easily one of the top 5 greatest qbs ever.period...yes he threw away countless championships games..but his abilities to take his team's there over and over again from 25 to 40 his team's were consistently on the cusp of winning a championship,that along with the stats puts him in the conservation of one of the best to do it...period

Way too long, not a Packers fan and wasn't really a Favre fan until now. Amazing speech that he gives without notes. Well deserved, Brett.

Easily one of the top 10 qbs of all time

I'm a longtime Cowboys fan but congrats to Brett and he had one heck of a career.

Brett Favre is the Kobe Bryant of the NFL. Few might have greater stats than him but he's definetly one of the GOAT's.

I need me some wrangler Jeans now!

The greatest PLAYER in NFL history, period. Played with more heart, determination and grit than anyone, period. The streak says it all. The toughest position in sports. Hunted by everyone and couldn't be stopped. The GOAT.

Hey Brett....you've arrived buddy and I know your dads proud. Thanks for 20 years!

Brett Favre is the Brett Favre of football.

Brett Favre is without a doubt one of the 5 greatest QB's of all time.

Best HOF speech of all time.

I'm a die hard eagles fan, but growing up (I'm 21) I had a green favre jersey and absolutely love the way he played. he played like the fans would if they could

I usually hate speeches but this one was not boring not even for a second... Great player, great person really respect this man.

This made me even more proud to have been a Favre fan..

Every time I watch this speech I think of him as a guy drawing up sandlot plays and just having fun, and look where the fun of the game took him. No matter how hard he got hit, he got back up to play some more. True grit and determination, desire and love, pain and agony, the thrill of victory and elation, made it so we could all watch in amazement a true legend of the game. Thank you Brett for the memories.

The WELFARE KING!!!!!

best speech ever 1st one I ever seen from beginning to end without skipping a sec. thanks Farve -49ers Fan

Big arm. Bigger heart. Classy, magnanimous speech.

1 if the best, if not the best, HOF speeches ever delivered. NFL needs more guys like him, need 1 in general. He was so much fun to watch cuz he was so charismatic rather it was good or bad. Miss watching him play!

"THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR" BRETT FAVRE HALL OF FAME SPEECH 8-6-2016

I think Brett Favre is relatable because he had the skills to play the game while carrying his heart outside to the world. He married a good woman that went through a lot with him.

i cried through out the whole speech, i was blessed to have been able to follow his NFL career. Brett, thank you so much

Die hard Broncos fan. Really Like Elway but long live the G.O.A.T Brett Favre

The original 'GunSlinger'... Not even a Packers fan, but a Farve fan for Life😊. Very FUN QB too watch play, played with a BIG HEART!

Wow. I’m blown away by this speech, I’ve always liked Brett but this just added a ton of respect for him. What a humble man.

"we did everything together and thats something thats been lost with this new generation" so true brett, ty for this great speech.

Had to come back to watch this again.4 is all class.This really is a speech from the heart.

Lifelong Panther fan here. But Brett Favre is the G.O.A.T.

He’s the true definition of a family man💯

A class act all the way. Thanks for the memories Brett.

He ain't kidding about prettiest grandmother he ever saw I thought she was like 25 when it started

Watching football now is not the same without Brett Favre nobody nobody made it better to watch than Brett Favre

2018 and I'm still watching this, tearing up. what a legend, the gunslinger, thank you Brett for everything,. u made watching football so fun to me,. the game is Never gonna be the same without u,. no other player had as much fun as u did

dang... what a special moment in history- probably the greatest qb and man that has ever played the game.

As a vikes fan, I've been dying to see such a great QB that lead us to the 09 NFC championship, and a lot more against my rivals. welcome to canton, Brett!

He meant so much to me and my brothers after church growing up.

His father reminds me of mine. Hits me so hard.

I'm relatively new to NFL, started watching it barely 3 yrs ago, never watched him play but this speech is such a class act. Wish I could be as humble as him irl and an absolute beast at work.

Gracias Brett por todo, por tantos buenos momentos que nos diste y regalaste durante años a todos los fans del mejor equipo...... los Green Bay Packers, no me tocó la epoca dorada de Lombardi pero jamás olvidaré con lágrimas lo feliz que fui ese día que ganaron en gran parte por ti a los Patriots y corrias como un niño feliz y por fin vi a mi equipo campeón de NFL, los sentimientos y recuerdos estarán ahí por siempre.......gracias Brett Favre!

The special thanks for his mother in law is extremely touching. That's someone who has to win your love.

Brett is so right about being authentic that describes Brett... And shows how important a great wife is and Deana truly is a great wife and person... Also the importance of family and friends and teammates... It was a great and inspiring speech.. Thank you Brett for the memories

WOW... We need more NFL players like this guy...

What a great speech. Wow. I hated you as an opposing fan, but loved how you played, you would have been a perfect fit in Pittsburgh as well Brett :) - Steelers fan-

Wow, someone pass me the box of tissue......love you Brett!

As a bears fan, I really appreciated Brett’s personality and ability. He never said “I own you” to me and my people (Bears fans). Brett is in a class of his own.

Now THAT'S a Hall of Fame Speech! Awesome!

He's the greatest guy I've ever had the pleasure of seeing play in Green Bay and met only once briefly at a signing. Just a player guys guy on and off the NFL field.

There will never be another QB, let alone another player, of his caliber. He made fans, myself included, appreciate the game of football through his charisma and appreciation of it. Thank you Favre for all the great memories from 99-your retirement (I started watching football in 99 at age 9). May not have been the greatest statistic qb, but you made the game fun and you were def the most exciting player to ever watch. Congratulations #4, this is well deserved!!

I nearly cried watching this, he had such a love and passion for the sport, but still all he wanted to do was have fun and doing the ball.

Had his jersey as a kid and still do always collected his cards was my favorite player had so much fun playing and made everyone else want to

Die Hard Cowboys fan, Congrats to the G.O.A.T Brett Favre and that was an amazing speech. I may hate the packers but i loved Favre as QB.

As a Bears fan since I can remember, Favre was my favorite player as a kid. One of the toughest dudes around. One of the funnest guys to watch play the game. Old man Favre would be proud. Brett Favre - the best!

I've always been a fan of favre since I was a little kid congrats well deserved .

Someone gimme a tissue please!!, but in all seriousness happy to say im from Wisconsin and was able to watch this man play every sunday and give it all he had, and more often than not give us Wins, Some say he should have won more super bowls but that dont matter winning in the NFL is hard and no matter how u look at him Brett was a WINNER and a WARRIOR

One of the best speeches I've ever seen

Lots of Raider love in this one from Mr. Favre!! Love it RNFL

Thank you Mr. Favre for all the wonderful football moments you gave us. Wisconsin worships you & so does America. Thank you Deanna for keeping Brett focused during the ups & downs all these years. Bless you both.

Greatest of all time. Die hard Cowboys fan, but my hero was and always will be Brett Favre.

One of the best to ever do it, without a doubt.

We loved you Brett. I think the most important thing you said in your speech is that no one man is more important than the team. And by all means you have redeemed yourself and your father is looking down and is so proud of you so so proud of you. The fact that you have so much compassion and love for the game of football is unbelievable

Best quarterback 2 ever play football, thats my guy #BrettFarve
