Packers: Favre cuts hair to support his wife

GREEN BAY, WIS. -- The cropped haircut Brett Favre wore under his baseball cap Wednesday served as a reminder that there are far more important things than Green Bay's 47-17 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

"I'm gradually cutting it down so I can be like my wife," the Packers quarterback said as he removed his hat to show the assembled media a close shave. "I had to ease into it."

Favre's wife, Deanna, was diagnosed with breast cancer in late October and began treatments three weeks ago that will cause her to lose her hair. "She'll look a hell of a lot better than me without hair," Favre said. "Maybe that will make her feel better. I don't know. She has to do it, there's no choice. Just whatever support I can give her."

Favre said his wife has her "up and down" days but is "hanging in there probably much better than I would. She has her moments."

This has been a trying past year for the Favres, beginning last December when Brett's father, Irv, died of a heart attack days before Christmas. Deanna's younger brother was killed in an all-terrain vehicle accidents three weeks before she was diagnosed with cancer.

"I'm doing all right, all things considered," Favre said when asked about himself. "We've had some tough things happen to us but we've managed to survive, and I don't see any reason why we won't during this."

Etc.

Rough year for the Packman. As much as I hate to admit it, he's a classy guy.

He's a very great athlete hall of famer, he is wreckless in his style and takes risks=fun to watch/or hard to watch at times if your a fan. He is a class act............................................

But he plays for the rival so he must be made fun of or at the very least dis-credited as much as possible

If people cross the line here lots of Vike fans are quick to jump in and call it. I don't think anyone here hates him or dislikes him on a personal level. Just tired of hearing about him

I'm a Packer Fan and I get tired of hearing about him all of the time. But I never get tired of watching him play when he is on his game.

Gotta bash him until he retires....just because he is a Packer!!! No disrespect to him personally though...he is a fellow Cajun (albeit from Mississippi)!

Very well said! Just like Mrdrae said, I am tired of hearing about off the field stuff, but on the field he's a hell of a ball player!

Pill-popping and his refusal to properly pronounce his name aside, I don't believe anyone has said anything bad about Farve, or dislikes him personally. I wish him and his family all the best, after all he earned it. On the field however, I hope he spends more time on his as* than on his feet, but that's football.
