Brett Favre Doesn’t Remember His Daughter Playing Soccer

In a recent radio interview, Brett Favre says he doesn’t remember his daughter playing soccer. The record holding, former Green Bay Packers Quarterback, was talking about the long term effects of the many hits he took during his stellar 20-year career.

Brett Favre is one of the best quarterbacks of all time, playing in 321 consecutive games, an NFL record, and throwing 552 touchdown passes.

Now he wonders how all those hits will affect his long term memory, after he was made aware of the summer in which one of his daughters played soccer.

“I don’t remember my daughter playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer,” he said when asked about his experience with concussions during an interview with Sports Talk 570 in Washington.

The retired quarterback, who is reportedly being pursued for a return to the NFL, readily accepts that he is like most people who forget where he put his glasses, when they are sitting atop his head.

“I don’t remember that. I got a pretty good memory, and I have a tendency like we all do to say, ‘Where are my glasses?’ and they’re on your head. This was pretty shocking to me that I couldn’t remember my daughter playing youth soccer, just one summer, I think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing volleyball, so I kind of think maybe she only played a game or two. I think she played eight. So that’s a little bit scary to me.

The 44-year-old grandfather adds that is a scary prospect, “For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me.”

While active, Brett Favre was legendary because of his toughness and many times played while injured, during the 18-years it took to start in his 321 consecutive games, between 1992 and 2010.

Now, he is unsure of what the consequences of pushing himself so hard are, “I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll,” Brett Favre said.
