Video: Madden 09 Cover Athlete Brett Favre on Letterman

David Letterman interviewed retired Greenbay Packers quarterback, Brett Favre, the recently announced cover athlete of the Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition.

“Brett Favre is a perfect fit for the Madden NFL 09 cover, as he epitomizes everything the franchise has stood for the past 20 years - longevity, excellence, and a love of football,” said Madden NFL 09’s executive producer Dale Jackson.

Favre is certainly one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s in the Hall of Fame, is the only three-time MVP in the league, and finished his 17-year career as the NFL’s all-time leader in touchdowns, completions, attempts, yards and wins. The man was good at his job, is what I’m saying.
