Here are some memorable moments from Brett Favre's career:

Sept. 13, 1992, at Tampa Bay. Favre completes his first NFL pass -- to himself. A deflected pass lands in Favre's hands, and he is tackled for a 7-yard loss. Favre completes eight of 14 passes for 73 yards.

Sept. 20, 1992, vs. Cincinnati at Lambeau Field. Replaces injured starter Don Majkowski in the first quarter, and never looks back. Favre leads two scoring drives in the final eight minutes of the game.

"The Green Bay Packers didn't win the National Football Conference championship game earlier this month, but needy people in some other countries around the world are expected to soon be sporting T-shirts, sweat shirts and hats proclaiming that they did."

That, according to Susan McBride Rothman, the NFL's vice president of consumer products.  200 T-shirts, sweatshirts and hats proclaiming the Packers as NFC champs were made by either Dick's Sporting Goods or Sports Authority and they have been making the donations to places like Zambia and Nicaragua since 1994 for the needy.
