Why? is Brett Favre still playing, well perhaps still playing

I think the simplest answer is that he is still a kid at heart, a forty-two year old kid. That in its self is pretty amazing. The kid in us is usually slowly pushed out by the rigors of life. However if you are able to get into a business that still has elements of a game, namely the NFL and survive for a couple of decades and still have great ability then you stand alone as the great Brett Favre. I saw him on Leno the other night. He has a glint in his eyes, an impish look and singing "pants on the ground" after the Dallas game. He is truly one of the lucky ones in this life and I wish him well.
