[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1060916, member: 18006"] As much as he pissed me off sometimes, still.... for years, as I watched him, I knew that when he moved on, I would never enjoy watching Packer games quite as much or in quite the same way as I did when he was playing. In fact, I knew I would never really enjoy watching[I] NFL football[/I], period, quite as much or in quite the same way. He brought a carefree, exuberant, teenage "all in on every single play" joy to the game that no other player ever really seemed to bring. The excitement, the pure [I]thrill [/I]of the game. As much as I would traumatize the cats every time he pitched up an idiotic interception, he brought something to the game that no other player has ever shown before or since. He was truly one of a kind, a completely unique player, and there are very few players in any sport that you can say that about. In fact, I can't think of a single one to compare him to. I miss him. I miss feeling the way I did every game day for 15 years or so. I miss looking forward to a game all Sunday morning or Monday afternoon as much as I did, I miss enjoying a football game as much I enjoyed them when he was playing.... watching him stand under center, calling out the signals, waiting for the snap, and wondering what the hell was going to happen in the next 3 or 4 seconds - every single snap. What crazy split-second play I was about to see that no other quarterback would be capable of, or for that matter even consider trying to make. Brett, you exasperating, infuriating ****head... thanks. I wouldn't trade those 16 years for 100 years of watching Peyton Manning, John Elway, or even Tom Brady or Bart Starr. Just... thanks.
