A Real Hero!...By Thom Abraham

Brett is legend in my book. The last of the great "old school" guys. It's not always pretty. He's not always healthy, actually, barely ever is he healthy. And he has never had the best team of talent around him. Yet year after year, we see him make the guys around him better. We see him make plays that look like they were drawn up in the back yard. And then we see the purity of the game. The fun that he has is so evident. That huge, southern boy smile, through that roughneck face. Throwing snowballs, high fiving officials... He is the best things of the NFL to me. A true football hero. A true football legend.
