  • Favre's jersey

    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?

      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.

        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?

          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.

            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

                  I've read before that Favre could get hot under the collar.

                    Brett Favre -

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

                        Nothing beats flaming the former Packers QB on an internet forum.

                              He's sure going to take a lot of heat when he returns to Lambeau Field this year.
