The same thing happened with me a few years ago in that game where Favre played right after his father passed away. He had the game of his life that night and as he came off the field, tears were streaming down his face. I'm not sure if there was a dry eye in Lambeau that evening. I know there wasn't in my house.

Sports and life's inevitable influences sometimes collide and generate tremendous emotion. It's something we should celebrate, male or female, not ridicule.
