I could listen to Brett tell stories all day.
Hot chocolate, chili dog.
Reminds me of another Bret, Bret Hart. Both very passionate about their profession, all time greats, brutally honest, not exactly the most charismatic, but excellent storytellers.
Like how he stole money from the poor? Great story!
@@dspears666 never stole 1 dime. You're a little simple if you believe he had any authority over ANY state money's...smfh
@@604cuinkillah LOL. You probably think Trump won the election too, right?
Remember this kids if you get a concussion take a shower, get some hot chocolate, and a chili dog and ride off to the sunset thanks Sheriff Brett!
lol!
Grin Future He was Deputy Sheriff at one point was all I was saying lol
Lol

😂😂😂
Brett looks like he's in a miniature chair talking to a miniature man.
You should see his interview with Shaq
Now I can’t unsee it
Brett's vein is like the Mississippi river
I can definitely relate. I had a concussion following a fall off of a 20 foot ladder. I fractured my right clavicle, left radius and ulna, ribs, L5-S1 transverse process, lacerated kidney and liver, and punctured lung. Because of the concussion I don't even remember the fall. and anything that happened shortly afterwards. All I remember is waking up in the ambulance wondering why I was laying down when I was just at work.. Then I passed out again and don't remember anything until after my surgery was over. People tell me that I was conscious the whole time.
Concussions are serious business.

If you think not being able to remember an hour or two is serious business then you should try drinking until you black out. It would scare the shit out of you, lol. Fuckin pussy.
Did you get a chili dog and a hot chocolate afterwords?
My mentor got one and in the 80s in college and his friends tried to take him to his place and he kept denying that he lived there even though he did. They asked him for a phone no. They said he gave them his ex-girlfriend's phone number from high school like freshman year, crazy stuff
D2K did you fully recover from the concussion?
To think this man played Qb and had a consecutive start streak that today seems like DiMaggios hit streak
I could listen to Brett talk all day! One of Favorite sports stars of all time...
I watched all the clips--great interview. You go beyond superficial questions, but Favre is obviously comfortable & responds with surprising candour.
To prove the memory loss Favre suffered from the final concussion he explains; he didn't even get the pass off, he was sacked and not pushed, but viciously thrown into the ground by Corey Wootton. Then didn't go straight into the locker room, he put on a jacket and sat on the bench.
He did mention he put a jacket on and sat on the bench. But yea I don't think he realized how long he'd been sitting there before going into the locker. Probably seemed like half a minute to him.
One of the greatest Vikings QBs of all time. We couldn't be more proud of Brett. Skol!
F that!! Football is literally killing ppl. Fu** Football
This breaks my heart
Brett Favre lookin like he can still play linebacker. Damn.
Reynaldo Venturina Jr: Favre CAN still play, and he is a tough cookie. But he would not dare play again. In 2012 Jeff Fisher offered 42 year old Favre a starting QB position with the Rams. Favre turned it down because of too many concussions. Today Favre works out with high school and college athletes. At age 50 Favre throws so hard that he often breaks receivers' hands, sometimes shatters them. Look at all the QBs that could not throw at the end of their careers (P. Manning, Marino).
@uncle rey Brett Favre did not play linebacker. He played quarterback
@@chrissmolik8091 i know. But the way his body looked like right now he look like a linebacker
@@aldeux7086 Really?! That's interesting to hear
@@hehhehhuhhuh7014 Brett never broke any hands you idiot, he broke fingers. Also, he’s not going around breaking high schoolers hands or fingers lol
Can you imagine the thought process of eating a chili dog and hot chocolate. That’s more of a double dog dare
I watched my friend snowboarding get concussed after slipping off a rail (he was wearing a helmet) and my dude couldn’t even tell us where he was after.. was completely blank for almost an hour.. asking every 5 minutes “wait why are we sitting here?” Scary shit
Shower, hot chocolate , chili dog....sunset...awesome day. Thanks for everything#4
Classic interview, thanks Graham
leading up to this game, the Vikings punter (Chris Kluwe) tweeted that the NFL was providing a safe environment and the unheated field at UofM was a safety hazard.
Since the majority of Viking fans were excited to play outdoors in the cold again, nobody responded positively to that tweet.
Then it ends a legend's career
He didn’t throw a swing route. He was still holding the ball.
Cte
CTE is a real concern for the man.
I had multiple concussions in iraq from ied blasts. Even years later I still have black outs, light headedness, and these brain zaps(don't know else to explain the sensation). It's no joke. Having a TBI already, it makes me think I probably have CTE as well.
How many ieds did you experience?
It is indeed a horrible injury, I’m finally feeling better after 15 months of hell.
@@rkingslime6679 6 direct strikes. As in my vehicle, or on foot within a 6-8 foot proximity. Lost conciousness twice, once for around a minute.
Scary last sentence for sure. The man was a true ironman when it came to starts I mean just look at how many seasons he had with 16 games started and played. Just plain amazing!!
I could hear him talk and tell stories forever
I was such a huge Favre fan. The GB Giants NFC title game where it was freezing. One of the last GB games he played, killed me.
I think all those hits and concussions are taking their toll. He does an hour a week on siriusxm NFL channel talking football and times it seems he struggles to get the words out on what he’s trying to say.
I love football just never played I choice basketball instead. I guess the fear of being injured or having concussions is what led me not to play it someways I wish I did play but hearing stories like Brett I believe I made the right choice not to play.
I think Brett is not remembering the last play correctly. He was not just shoved, and fell. He was spun in the grasp of Corey Wootton and tackled /sacked hard to the ground. It was not a little push.
You look great Brett. All the best to you and Diana
I love the Brett Farve. He my best running back all time.
brett favre is still a childhood legend lol
Nemo The Zeus what is the "lol" for?
@@joelmcnultymusic lol
That game was the worst games I saw playing college field frozen. Vikings out of the playoffs and one of the legends hit solid ice... it was horrible feeling. I don't think I wanted to see football after that I did but it was bad. Favre is all-time sad to see him unconscious like that.
Man, I have been watching this same interview (cut up into 3 minute chunks) for weeks now...and the thing I always think is: For a guy I have seen take a million hits - old Brett still seems to be cognitively intact. I mean, he is twice as articulate as most, if not all (certainly the Fox) of the ex jocks doing analysis on TV!
I think he may have "Homer Simpson" skull syndrome....like a second helmet for a skull.
Wish more would talk about consussions like boxers
Scary stuff
Nope. Not the reason at all.
NFL contracts are big because NFL revenues are big. Only reason.
+Georgie Arn they actually aren't big at all . Compared to basketball and baseball
Would've been cool to see Favre back up Vick in Philly or play for the Bears when Cutler got hurt.
SHUT UP SHUT UP
@@nickdoane348 ?
You dont need a concussion to get cte "sub concussive blows" shaking , impacts...
You can tell from not just this video, but the interview in general, that Brett has trouble finding the words that he is looking for and it’s just sad.. Right now, it’s not terrible, but Brett continues to age, it’s only going to worse.. We need to appreciate him now before he ultimately passes
Watch an old interview he has literally always talked like this
Joe Namath did a series of hyper baric oxegen therapy sessions for a few months and he says it helped his memory loss tremendously. Brett should try it and others who have has concussions.
Karo French
Brett has no symptoms and hyperbaric treatment is pseudo science. Placebo is a hell of a drug.
maybe he just couldn't remember how bad his memory loss was.
Greatest gun slinger
Playing football I had a concussion every game from pee wee thru high school
The physician who developed the term CTE stated that those who play football through a professional career may receive 70 thousand blows to the head. It's sad that the NFL intentionally tried to ruin his career. All he wanted to do was to increase awareness, help to decrease concussions along with helping the players who are at the greatest risk.
I just watched concussion...I really hope he doesn't have cte 😳
Unfortunately, he does. And that sentence refers to almost every professional football player.
Scott Chiware i'm pretty sure brett dont have it he wouldve lost his mind and kill his family or himself already if he does
Scott Chiware I think he has it
ALex-X oh ok DOCTOR, thanks for that. Really puts my mind at ease.
You're telling me Aaron Hernandez had it and he played for 5 years till he got charged with murder. But Brett doesn't have it? Are you kidding me!?! That's preposterous.
I was taking a good nap 🤣
He went and got a chili dog😂
He wasn’t very honest about his last concussion. Corey Wootton slammed him pretty hard into the frozen turf. It wasn’t a gentle push.
I had two playing youth football, and travel hockey, that I DIDN'T know about for 3 weeks. I thought it was just migraines, turns out I had two undiagnosed concussions.
Jon John Guess so.
Alex BigShid
You are too fat to do sports.
Brett would have played more seasons if Leslie Frazier hadn't benched him the following game. That was it, I think he had enough B.S. when he knows more about football than the coaches.
Still had the ability to play a few more years but 2010 was a just diseased season for the Vikings after the collateral damage from the NFC chapionship game.
Actually head coach Childress didn't have a choice in the matter... the new concussion protocols are different now compared to the 90s . Under the new provisions , any player with a suspected concussion ,( per Dr's evaluation) must sit out and not play until cleared by physician..
I think i got CTE watching this video. But I don't remember.
Football turned this man into a veteran
Was this shot in Graham’s dollhouse?
You need to do Lance Armstrong
jfloyo11 pervert
Did lance blow your back out
I had a mild concussion and was throwing up could not function
I wonder what he will look like 20 years from now.
Anyone else concerned that the last play he describes... and what actually happened, don't line up? He never threw the ball or was "pushed" he was wrapped up and went down for a sack.
Yeah that kinda confused me too
He probably doesn’t remember it correctly because he was concussed, like is that not obvious?
@@Drewitall54 Totally not like the title says "his last concussion" or something
If you're not gonna add something useful, don't comment on a two year old comment.
@@TJskillz169 don’t make dumb ass comments on RUclips then
@@TJskillz169Wow!
1:55-2:09 i was always taught a concussion is when your brain get's hit so hard that your brain literally moves around in your head, that's what i thought a concussion was at least?
If it feels like a sledgehammer hit you 9 out of 10 you have a concussion
Jesus he has some giant mitts
I wonder if the vicodin and the hits combined hurt or helped his brain?
Brad Rousseau welp opiates kill nerve endings , the brain is mostly nerve endings , people die from opiates , bowel function dies from opiates , memory dies from opiates, self control dies from opiates. So good thing he won the battle of pain killers long ago , cuz i think he'd be long gone
chili dog
he needs to hit up joe namath
Corey Wooten is the guy that in his career
I remember that shit field. Sad game.
Cannabis for concussions!
Hey, you don't need to smoke it anymore, to get the medicine, you didn't hear, cheers!
And actually it helps people with lung issues, but that's none of my business! Research online is a wonderful thing!
Maybe that's what death is like !! Just a hot chocolate and a chili dog while you're riding off into the sunset 🌅
toughest qb EVER!!
Interesting that when Joe Namath retired, he bought himself 120+ dives in a hyperbaric chamber to force oxygen into his body in order to break up those amyloid proteins that accumulate in the brain.
He still does TV commercials at 77 y/o & played 13 yrs & suffered 5 concussions
Your singular pseudoscience anecdote is a brilliant rebuttal to actual data.
What if we have helmets with sensors? and after either A) a certain amount of g's a players absorbs has a max until he is pulled or B) signals hits big enough to generate damage to the brain so they can be pulled
Have guys on each team that just watch over the helmet numbers. Almost like a TV with Stock numbers ticketing. Except 11 men on side and 11 on the other. Also maybe fix facemasks. Why are they still like coated steel? Maybe a material that doesnt destroy you lmaoooo
Extend roster from 53 to at least 60. I say 69 jk
But these guys aren't just trash, humans. They should be protected long term. We only get one brain and we really cant fix it.
Favre did a bad job articulating, but his point is that all those times he got up seeing lights/stars, most of the time his head didn't take a whack. The problem with concussions is they can and do happen when you take shots to the chest or upper body. The G-forces of sudden changes in direction cause your brain to rattle around in your head and since your brain has absolutely no feeling or sensation, it has no idea when it's been injured. Getting knocked out is your body's defense against concussions, and it actually works well when you take shots to the head. But these minute-by-minute "dizzying blows" that put stars in your eyes that all football players deal with through out every game? They're all causing minute amounts of brain damage and no amount of head protection can stop that (and in fact, it makes it worse: a player padded to the gills is much more likely to full-tilt sprint into tackles than one without, and the danger today is that full-speed play enabled largely by excessive padding and helmet tech)
Hit so bad he doesn't even remember what really happened lol .
Wasn't even a bad hit, but when it's just right... the lights go out
Hot chocolate and a chili dog
he said university of Minnesota? ?
they were playing on that field because the metrodome collapsed
Insurance Fraud.
Look up Zygi Wilf when you get a chance.
Georgie Arn fuck you
Yea vikings played there when the metrodome collapsed. Shit was cold
TCF bank stadium is an outdoor stadium not far from the old metrodome. The Gophers play there. It was very cold and raining sleet that night.
dudes pretty much burnt up, sad : (
These guys need to be taking cerebrolysin
You just know Brett is going to suffer from CTE. It is not going to be pretty. I hope I am wrong.
Brett has already had some symptoms.
I hope Favre turns to the Lord for help! Only Jesus can heal CTE 🙏
That's not how it works
@@jonathangarmuth8975 Well, Christ *could* heal all, if he wills. God created us, which entails that our knowledge couldn’t possibly surpass his, so the things listed as irreversible by finite medical science could be healed by an infinite God.
I just phrased what the OP said in a way that could be easier to understand.
Another retired player trying to scare current players and rule committees. It can be a dangerous sport, like so many sports. PLAY ON!! Brett should worry about all those pain killers he took for so many years over the head knocks.
