First off I like Dallas next week against the Vikings - no matter where the game would be played but I want to give some props to Brett Favre. The Cowboys last Superbowl was in 1995 when they beat the Steelers. One of the best games I've ever seen though was the NFC championship game that year when Dallas beat Green Bay at Texas Stadium. After the game Mike Holmgren personally came to the Cowboy locker room to congratulate Troy Aikman, telling him: "You were great - as usual". Brett Favre was the Green Bay quarterback that day. Dallas had the following on their roster: Troy Aikman Michael Irvin Emmit Smith Bill Bates Jason Garrett (now the Cowboy offensive coordinator) Daryl Johnston Nate Newton Deion Sanders Larry Allen Jay Novaceck Russell Maryland Charles Haley Wade Wilson The Packers had on their roster: Farve Edgar Bennett Gilbert Brown Mark Chmura LeRoy Butler Ty Detmer Antonio Freeman Keith Jackson Dorsey Levens Jim McMahon (can you believe it?) Fred Strickland Reggie White After that trip down memory lane, it is amazing that Farve is not only still playing, but arguably has had his best season ever. That dude should go into the HOF the day he retires.
