World's Biggest Waffle To Welcome Brett Favre Home
Even the most causal sports fan knows about Brett Favre and the problems he has making up his mind. Earlier this year, Favre was all about retirement, then all about playing football, and then back to dreaming of 365 days of golf. Well he finally decided to toss the pigskin around for one last season—we’ll see if one last season turns into more next year—and has led the Minnesota Vikings to an undefeated start. In about two weeks, Favre will return to Green Bay to play the team he led for many years, and the city’s citizens want to ensure that Favre has a warm welcome back home.
Mayor Jim Schmitt of Green Bay is asking for public suggestions for respectable ways to welcome Favre back to town. One of the best suggestions so far is to cook up a giant waffle in the shape of a number four—Favre’s uniform number. This will be a somewhat subtle dedication to the player’s reputation for indecision regarding his retirement. Another idea was to play a reel of all Favre’s interceptions while in a Packers uniform before the game.
If you have a good idea, and it isn’t too mean, head over to the City of Green Bay’s website to send in your thoughts. We’re eager to see what kind of antics the city will unleash on its former star. Tickets for the game are definitely sold out, and you probably need to sell your first born to raise the cash to buy a pair from a scalper. Best bet is to just bring some syrup and butter and hope that the waffle is constructed without too much trouble. If there’s no waffle, just down a few Sheboygan brats from the tailgate party offered by Brett Favre’s Steakhouse—he opened the place before he left.
