Maybe Brett Favre Won’t Look Like A Kid Out There Anymore

Brett Favre is an old man. It’s a fact that gets referenced frequently in the rolodex of gunslinger jokes, right along with the fact that it seems like he’s retired five billion times (hey, Jon Runyan made that one yesterday) and John Madden worships the ground that Brett’s cane touches. ↵↵But we’re going to be reminded of that fact even more, should Favre once again decide to return to play for the Vikings in 2010. That’s because, according to Larry Fitzgerald Sr. (yes, the journalist father of the Pro Bowl receiver whom you might remember from the hype before Super Bowl 43), Favre’s oldest daughter, Brittany, is expected to give birth to her first child. (UPDATE: The child has arrived!↵

↵↵Which would make Favre a grandfather and presumably the first to play in the NFL, or, failing that, at least the best known. Someone might want to check with Morten Andersen to see if he was a grandpa when he was playing. That is, if you can rouse him for his afternoon naptime.↵
