Brett Favre

"I went to [a drug rehabilitation clinic in] Topeka," says Favre, "because the pills had gotten the best of me…. It was hard—I was someone used to doing what I wanted to do. But now I feel I have a way to handle stress without pills. The biggest thing I've learned is to turn to the people around me—friends, coaches, [longtime girlfriend] Deanna [Tynes]. Before, I was keeping a lot of things inside me."
