They told Brett Favre he didn't have to play

On December 21st, 2003, Brett Favre's father Irvin died suddenly of a heart attack, no illness, no goodbye, gone behind the wheel of a truck at 58. The very next night, on Monday Night Football, Brett Favre played anyway. What he did over the next two hours, with the whole country watching, no one has ever forgotten. This is the story of the "Dad Game" and the hard old Mississippi high school coach who could only ever say "I love you" in the language of football.
