„His style of play“ has nothing to do with football. You can hit hard without going for the head. 99% of players are able to do that. It’s a choice. Hard, legal hits are about controlling yourself and channeling your strength, which takes a lot more skill than just aiming for the head. Burfict just doesn’t have that. He played football like going hunting with an RPG. „Look how many deer I shot, I‘m such a good hunter“ except you didn’t shoot them but blast them to pieces, the meat is burnt and what you’re doing has nothing to do with hunting.
Favre was the reason I started watching football, seeing how much fun he had playing got me to sign up for YAFL. Brett Favre is the reason why I love football to this day
@Kaizaro123 Probably a bit of that too, Marcus Allen was a star and was getting bigger than the team, doing talkshow interviews and public appearances. Al Davis wanted to be the star of the team, what a shame.
In specific relation to just video games alone, when your name LITERALLY becomes a noun for football as a genre, having been around for basically almost as long as video games have been around, and you inevitably become THE standard for it... Yeah that's about as high as you can go

Man I love Brett Favre. Not even a packer fan, but dang he played the game the way it should be played. He loved the game and he loved the people that played it. I seriously miss him in the sport.
Sanders talking about carrying the nickname into the nfl and living up to makes me think about Sauce Gardner in todays game. I’m not even a jets fan but the guys living up to the name so far in his young career
Just imagine how good Namath could've been if his knees weren't already starting to shred at college. When word got around the league that Joe's knees were just about good enough to stand on and little else, there was an informal gentleman's agreement among the defensive units that they would try to only sack Joe from the waist and above. I kid you not.
I'm not from US, but I am a fan of am. football for 9 years now. I must say I love these shorts from NFL. It is showing me history which I could not see or even heard from anybody. I just gotta say Madden slicing duck or what that was with his hand was epic.....that was live? :D

You know you’re a good corner back when you’re known for your touchdown celebration

But No you just stated factsss primetime should've been #1 He eclipses everybody on the field ,tv , everywhere
And he was a WR.

Watching Romo talk about Brett Farve’s super bowl was the saddest thing I have ever seen.
Why? Romo never came close to a SB. Not like he was heartbroken near the alter.

I think so too, but his ole pal Brett Favre was right next to him.
It really is. The career that man had will never be surpassed. I mean the highest selling sports video game is named after him for god sakes 😂
They didnt even mention he started the turkey leg award on Thanksgiving
He started the virtual gaming industry too with madden its sick

When it comes down to the funnest QB I've ever seen play the game, Favre is the GOAT!
2 Raiders in the top 3 were the 🐐
Within the first FIVE plays the other teams QB MUST GO DOWN! GO DOWN HARD! - Al Davis
That’s some GodFather stuff!
“Al Davis loves all his players” except Marcus Allen.
Yup, he was willing to lose cause he liked the throwing game more than the running game. Sad. Raider fans like ignoring that lol
As much as i respect Al Davis's achievements & memories, i'm prone to agreeing with you on that! Marcus Allen was treated poorly by AD.

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich just like jerry Jones

Everybody's crying about Deon not #1. Joe Namath was the first media star. just enjoy the segments people. Its just a list
13:03 - 13:13 It's been confirmed: John Madden is actually the Kool-Aid man
The Mr. Miyagi Favre bit had me laughing so hard.
But let me say that Joe Namath is my favorite QB of all time , love him
Rest easy John Madden, the voice of football 🏈
Where is Pat McAfee?

I agree should've been in the top 20 at least
Isn’t he in the other videos about the characters?
He a kicker ..yall know they don't respect their position

Called it! Joe Willie Namath!
Deion Sanders always sounds like he should be a college professor
Prime time is still to this day my all time favorite player, and the player that really made me love the NFL.
"Take two weeks off and quit" that sound like the exact advise someone needs to give to 50% of the official +Al Riveron.
