Inför nattens stora showdown i NFL dammar jag av den här helt underbara Brett Favre-historien. Deion "Prime Time" Sanders, en av tidernas absolut bästa cornerbacks, helt otroligt vindsnabb och förmodligen det närmaste man kan komma utopin "shutdown corner", delade med sig av sitt favoritminne av Favre i en tv-sändning förra säsongen:
"He's the smartest quarterback I've ever played against in my life. I remember one year, when I was in Dallas and Green Bay was coming into Texas Stadium. I was excited all week because they put in a backside corner blitz for me and I knew I was going to have an opportunity to sack Brett Favre.
In the game, it was time. I crawled up to the line and started coming. But right before I got there, he released the ball, and as he was releasing the ball - as he was releasing the ball - he said to me 'I knew you were coming, Prime!' I mean he was saying that and throwing the ball in the same motion. I just turned around and walked back to the huddle laughing my butt off."
