Brett Favre interrupted his deer hunt to congratulate Peyton Manning on breaking his record

Peyton Manning took Brett Favre’s record, but Brett was too busy bagging new, different trophies.

Today, Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre’s all-time NFL passing yards record (although it may have been the worst game of Manning’s career.) Where was Favre as one of his greatest marks fell? In a tree stand, hunting deer. Where else?

Favre kept his voice quiet -- don’t want to disturb the deer -- and congratulated Manning. Favre’s love of hunting is quite well documented. I gotta say, he gets great wifi in that tree stand.
