LeGarrette Blount doesn’t want any damn advice from Brett Favre

The Eagles running back threw a little good-natured shade at the ol’ gunslinger.

Brett Favre has one Super Bowl ring. That’s half as many as LeGarrette Blount has after winning Super Bowl XLIX and Super Bowl LI with the Patriots.

That’s why Blount isn’t all that interested in picking Favre’s brain as the Eagles get ready for Super Bowl LII against the Patriots.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is going to have Favre speak to his team on Saturday evening. Blount was asked if he had any questions for the Hall of Famer:

For what it’s worth, Blount says he was joking:

Pederson was Favre’s backup with the Green Bay Packers for seven years, and the two have remained friends. It’s not the first time Pederson has had a successful athlete talk to his team before a big game. Kobe Bryant addressed the Eagles before their 43-35 win over the Rams in Week 14.

Sure, Brett Favre is a legend. But Blount does have a chance to triple Favre’s ring count if the Eagles can pull off a win against the Patriots on Sunday.
