Favre's jersey

[CaptainKickass]

So, yeah...

There's been too many threads about Favre 'round here in recent history. It's become way more Packer centric as of recent times, thanks to outstanding performances in the pre-season. I am stoked for the regular season.

So - in the spirit of recent times on this board, I elect to continue our own PackerRats "streak" if you will, in good fashion.

I will not start another thread about Favre.

Instead, I will start one about his jersey.


Now, I watched tonights Queens/Texans game, and I'll circle back to that momentarily, but first let's go back to the over-orchestrated and highly staged day that Favre flew to MN and signed with the rival.

When approaching the podium - Favre is there with Wilf & whomever holding up his new "#4" jersey. And just for a second, I get the feeling that all three of them in the spotlight looked at the jersey and thought the same thing:

"Ummm...that jersey looks a couple sizes too big" - they thought. So did I.

------------------------------------

Now quickly flash forward to tonights MNF pre-season game. What did my eyes behold?

Favre wearing a jersey that appears to actually be a size or 2 bigger than what is called for.

Did anyone else notice this?

I mean, it kinda looks like he used to be a big fat lineman. Then he maybe had some gastro-bypass surgery, but he continues to wear the same jersey post-op.

WTF is up with that? Am I insane?

Kinda sounds like it.

[sheepshead]

I have an actual game jersey, NFL actual game not a replica, not a game worn. Signed by Favre in a shadow frame. It looks like that. it only gathers at the sleeves and waist.

Kinda sounds like it.

Sorry Ras. I forgot you're a Queens fan.

Despite the punctuation indicating such, those are actually 2 independent questions.

Question 1:

WTF is up with that? (the jersey bit)

Question 2:

Am I insane? (strictly rhetorical - no response necessary)

Ok -

So seriously - WTF is up with Favre and his "Big & Tall" jersey?

?

[pasquale]

You're not insane, unless we both are. I noticed this too, but not until tonight when I saw him on TV. I'm not really sure why I did take notice, but I clearly wouldn't have given it a second thought if it wasn't a Purple 4.

I couldn't help but just stare at it.

[MOBB DEEP]

speaking of his jersey; you know its STILL #1 seller right?!

I got email today from nfl shop.com telling me that my order is delayed and they will let me know when they get more in stock! dayum! i ordered it the day after he signed, not the day off b/c i was too lazy to go get wallet out my truck....maybe i can get one from a local sporting goods spot and cancel my order

ALOT of favre lovers out there obviously; buying up his jerz

Brett Favre -

Even past his prime, still has the proverbial "it" factor to set the league on fire.

Somebody needs to resize that and make it into an av.

You can do that anytime! What was your old one at JSO anyway?

It was just the generic Packer logo. Man, that was a LONG time ago.

[sharpe1027]

After shelling out the cash to buy a new #12 Jersey, getting rid of an otherwise perfectly good #4 Jersey just added fuel to the fire.

I was thinking that was it. I can remember a lot of them, but maybe the more generic ones have slipped my mind.

When they asked Favre if he was upset about being burned in effigy, he responded, "I Don't care. I don't even know where Effigy is." :rs:

I know the Packerrats ladies always thought Favre was smokin' hot.

They were wrong when they said nobody would find a use for Favre's locker and its left-over contents.
