40 and dominating the NFL? How does Brett Farve do it?

40 year old, gray haired, gun slinging, Brett Farve is the oldest quarterback to ever play the game of football, won yesterday with a dominating performance in which he threw 4 td's and had no interceptions. Brett Farve and the Minnesota Vikings took on the Dallas cowboys for a chance to go to the NFC championship game. It was never a contest. The game looked to be going the Dallas cowboys way for the first 2 drives until Minnesota's dominating defense woke up and took over the game. Brett Farve, known as the old man, passed a beautiful, deep ball 40 yards in the air to Sydney Rice for the first touchdown of the game. From then on the cowboys were under fire from the defense, couldn't stop anything on the offense and turned the ball over 3 times. That was without the 40 year old taking over. Brett Farve had one of his best; if not best game, of his career. The Dallas Cowboys were supposedly "the hottest team in the playoffs" but I think that Brett Farve is the hottest player in the playoffs after that performance. He proved that age doesn't matter. After the game Farve in his press conference said of the game "the most fatigued I got in today's game was when I celebrating with my teammates." The man is a child at heart. I loved his performance yesterday. It was like watching a little boy in the candy store. It doesn't matter if you hate, love, or despise the man you have to respect his performance yesterday.. with the exception of the dallas fans.. but if you love the NFL and you love football at all you have to put this performance down as one of the greatest of all time.. and it was by a 40 year old boy! I love Brett Farve! Let's Go Vikings!
