1990: A very close call
Brett Favre, then an incoming senior at Southern Miss, was involved in a car accident in his home town of Kiln, Miss. on July 14, 1990. He suffered critical internal injuries in the crash and had to have 30 inches of intestine removed. Miraculously, he was back in the starting line up for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles a month after sugery.
1996: Much happier times
Six years to the day after Favre's near-fatal accident, he married his long-time girlfriend, Deanna Tynes, on July 14, 1996 at St. Agnes Church in Green Bay. The couple's courtship dated back a dozen years to his first year at Hancock North Central High School in Kiln.

2004: If you build it, they will come

Birthday Flashback
Former Packer punter Bucky Scribner was born July 11, 1960. Scribner, an 11th-round draft pick out of Kansas in 1983, beat out incumbent Ray Stachowicz to win the Packer punting job as a rookie. He went on to rank third in the NFC that year, but Scribner -- a Packer rarity as a left-footed punter -- only spent two seasons in Green Bay.
