For example, a group of Brett’s fans put together a really cool book – “Letters To Brett Favre: A Fan Tribute” – comprised of hundreds of messages from fans all over the world. On top of that, the project’s author is a young stroke survivor, and potions of the profits from the book are being given to the Special Olympics in honor of Brett.

This is a great story, one I would have enjoyed hearing about on ESPN. Did they cover it? No. Instead, they played hour after hour of the same Favre stats we all have embroidered on our brains from sheer repetition. I had to hear about this story through a small town newspaper that was sitting in the lobby of my doctor’s office.

If you’ve had enough ESPN for now, click off your set and go visit the web site for the book. It’s far more interesting than anything our friendly neighborhood sportscasters have talked about recently.
