Product Description
No other contemporary athlete has been as admired among peers and beloved among fans as Brett Favre. From his arrival in Green Bay in 1992 to his retirement in 2008, the Packers' strong-armed, free-spirited quarterback thrilled NFL fans with his exemplary talent and passionate style, and inspired them with his courage in confronting personal challenges. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED's tribute to Favre is the definitive account of a remarkable career, collecting the best stories and photographs from the pages of SI to chronicle Favre's rise from humble coach's son in tiny Kiln, Miss., to premier passer of his generation and th personification of the American sports ideal. The product of SI's unparalleled NFL access and insight, Brett Favre: The Tribute include 16 of SI's finest Favre stories, by such renowned writers as Peter King, Michael Silver, Leigh Montville, Jeff MacGregor and Alan Shipnuck, plus brilliant pictures from the recognized leader in sports photography--stunning action shots, intimate portraits and candid off-the-field moments--that illuminate this incomparable athlete. Brett Favre: The Tribute stands as an enduring testimonial to an American icon, a man who, more than any other of our time, played his game the way it should be played.

 Brett Favre: The Tribute October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you love Brett Favre, you will love this book.
Sports Illustrated has compiled wonderful pictures taken of Brett from a young child, and brought it to the end of his career for the Green Bay Packers. We learn about Brett, struggles he faced, and watch him grow throughout this book.
Brett is not your normal, average high strung football player. He loves the sport and loves the game. This book explicitly depicts Brett's life, his world, and his wonderful talent.
A Great Synopsis of a Great Career October 6, 2008
Brett Favre is one of the best players the NFL has ever seen and this book pulls together all of Sports Illustrated's best photos and stories hightlighting important moments throughout his career (prior to the NY Jets). This book is a must for any Favre fan.
Don't Let The Cover Photo Fool You September 16, 2008
This is an excellent review of Brett Favre - a very intimate look at the best quarterback in the NFL today. The photo they used for the cover of the book is terrible. It may scare some people off from buying this book on Brett Favre. I was very pleased with the contents although the cover photo could have been much better. I think SI wanted to sell more single magazines at $7.99 each than this 242 page SI book that can be had for a little bit more money.
 farvre tribute book July 13, 2008
I bought this item as a present for my husband in May so I thought I would buy another for a nephew. The second one (this order) came in slightly damaged on the corner because it wasn't packed properly. It was billed as a brand new book so I think it should have been perfect. Maybe it was dropped by the delivery person.
BRETT FAVRE TRIBUTE July 7, 2008
I purchased this book for my son-in-law as he is a Green Bay fan. He loved it! Lots of colorful pictures, history and stats. The delivery was prompt and the whole ordering process was smooth.Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)
