Brett Favre has harnessed his country-boy enthusiasm, mastered the toughest position in the game and begun humming touchdown passes into impossible places. He's become a scoring machine, and with a swashbuckling style that seems a throw-back to another era, he's lifted the Green Bay Packers to football's highest pinnacle: Super Bowl champions!

This is the story of hayseed turned hero, the tale of a kid who lost a lot of his intestines -- and nearly his life -- in a car accident, but never lost the zeal for competition. He's a fighter, a talker, a winner and, finally, a superstar. Brett Favre is truly one of the NFL's most remarkable heroes of the 1990s.
