So my son is on a road trip from Sioux Falls to the Tennessee Smokey
Moutains for awhile next week.  They stopped in the night at some hotel
outside of Nashville after traveling 15 hours the first day.  This hotel
is nothing fancy, but Ok for a night.

The next morning my son
goes down to the car and passes where they have the breakfast room and
sees a familiar face.  After returning to the room he says to his wife
he just saw Brett Favre.  She doesn't really believe Brett would be at
this highway dive hotel kind of in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway,
they head down for breakfast and he's still there.  They started
visiting with him and they asked for a picture, and Brett was happy to. 
Aaron said he's a super laid back friendly guy.  Brett was staying
there while traveling to see his daughter play college volleyball.

My
son is 6'1'' and weighs in around 210.  He said Brett is a massive
dude, and really looks like he's in shape.  They didn't talk football,
but they did discuss traveling.  Brett wished them well traveling with
the two kids and laughed about having their hands full. 

Now I like #4 even more.

I told my son I would've brought up those two GB games the first season he was a Viking.  Those two games are right up there as my favorite games; especially the first one in Lambeau.

Thanks Kentis.  My son texted me that pic this morning with no explaination.   My daughter-in-law call us shortly after filling us in.   I returned the text telling them to give Brett a "Skol!" from me.  B)

That's cool. And that is totally Favre, he is not one of those people running around in Versace.

Great story, HappyVike!  Favre is in my top 5 Viking QB's just to piss off Puker fans here in Cheezeville! ;)

One of my smaller laments as a Viking fan, not having Favre here 25 years instead of him in GB.
