FAVRE OWNS YOU!!!

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Brett Favre threw his arms into the air in jubilation and skipped his way right into the arms of his teammates. Then he did it again, and then yet another time.

Favre, playing at the top of his game a night after his father died, threw four touchdown passes and was 15-for-18 for 311 yards to help the Green Bay Packers take a 31-7 halftime lead over the Oakland Raiders on Monday night.

Favre capped his phenomenal first half when, while falling backward under pressure, he lofted a 43-yard pass that Javon Walker snagged for a touchdown by jumping between defenders Phillip Buchanon and Anthony Dorsett to grab the ball. Walker also caught a 23-yard TD pass in the first quarter.

A red-faced Favre, a towel over his shoulder, wore a huge smile on his face while standing on the sideline as the clock ticked down to intermission. His passing yards were a personal best in a first half and the most overall since Peyton Manning had 324 against Buffalo on Sept. 23, 2001, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
