Favre's Backups Give Special Insight Into The Former Packer Quarterback

Nate Peterson with CBS Sports provides a unique look at Favre's career by speaking with many of the quarterbacks who played back up roll to the Packers Hall of Famer. 

The Chronicles of Favre-ia includes stories from Ty Detmer, Marc Brunell, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Steve Bono as well as coaches Steve Mariucci and Andy Reid. 

A sampling of type of stories included is this gem from Mariucci:

I had those three quarterbacks over at my house a lot, Mark, Ty and Brett. I have three sons, too. We had spaghetti, and we ate, then all of the sudden those three quarterbacks went downstairs in the basement with my three kids to play dodge ball. Gayle and I stayed up, we start clearing the table and doing dishes. We can hear them downstairs, yelling and having a good time, balls flying, hitting the walls. Just like a bunch of kids. Well all of the sudden, they shut the lights off. That was going to be the next part of this game. They're going to play dodge ball, with the lights out. OK? And then I hear, "Aaaaaah! You Son of a …!" I go, "Oh my god, somebody got hurt." We go run downstairs. Brett Favre hit Mark Brunell in the face with a dodge ball point blank. He had a welt on the side of his face. Probably could've took his eye out. Dodge ball. In the dark. Probably from 5 feet away. It was like, "OK, guys, game's over. Do we have to do this right now?" They were all a bunch of kids.
