Favre the Prankster

Brett Favre played a pretty disgusting joke on one of his teammates over the bye week.

[Jets' linebacker Eric] Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton's locker.
Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton's locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.

As disturbing as this joke was, it is a really good sign. Brett has to be getting comfortable with his teammates if he thinks he can pull something like this off.

The legend lives on

What a pleasure to be able to see Brett continue to play. His pranks wil be accepted in time. He was a raw kid from Mississippi when he came to us. He’s matured tremendosely; he may not be the “Broadway” in Joe, but he will do tings you’ve never seen before. I may offend some but he’s the best of my three favorit to watch. Unitas, Montana, and Favre. Taking nothing away from other. Brett is a legend in his own time.
