Posted in Larry Fitzgerald of the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder reports that if Brett Favre decides to play another season in the NFL, he could become the first ever active player to be a grandfather.
Fitzgerald reports that Favre’s oldest daughter, Brittany Nicole, is due to have her first child fairly soon.
It is weird to think of any NFL player as a grandpa, so I immediately questioned whether this article (dated March 30th) was an April Fool’s joke.
Given the taboo that would have been broken by claiming that another man’s daughter is pregnant when she is not, I have to assume this report is legit.
So, our starting quarterback is going to be a grandpa.
Hmm.
Weird.

Adam, you need to check your spelling. I think you meant through not trough. Just tellin ya not making fun
Haha, thanks. Should be fixed now. It is a shame that our program doesn’t spell check the title of the article, too
wierd……….
Hey it’s Larry Fitzgerald. i wish the football version came to his hometown team
adam I sent you an email did you get it. Its with a new email address so it might be in junk for you
Yeah, I got it but disregarded it becuase your site send me too many emails. Shoudl I ahve read it?
really it does? i’ll try to change it. This ones actually from me
It’s a guest article from my site. it should be from a different e-mail
Congrates Grampa Brett!!!
Yeah, that is Weird…
I’ve heard from some insider message boards last fall that one of his daughters was pregnant but nothing else. So it may be true. The kid would be born by the fall time. Maybe the Vikings can sign him right away …
Actually, grandpas are more capable people than we sometimes get credit for. But hearing this gets me started thinking…
I’ll bet George Blanda was close to being a grandpa.
That’s a good point, Blanda had 11 children, too. You’d think one of them would have procreated prior to his retirement.
You tell ‘em Buds!!
In facts Buds, word has it you can sing “Pants on the Ground”, better than Banjo did last year. True?
Freds, the rumor is true. I know the right words too. However, my children would insist that I only sing it in the shower, and Mrs. Grant would agree. I don’t believe anyone ever heard me sing in public, and I will keep that record intact.
Fred wonders how Brett gets along with his son in law?
He and I get along just fine… thanks for asking
Freds telling Mrs. W.!!!
Hey Coach, Old George was 48 when he kicked his last field goal back in 76′
So he had to be close…
Thanks Charlie, and I would guess that Mr. Stenerud may also have come dangerously close to the grandfather player category.
Don’t forget about Morten Andersen. He has over 47 years old and still kicking it. (no pun intended)
has = was
Hey Norse, how old was Gary Anderson when he finally hung it up. He was getting pretty long in the tooth also.
Gary Andersen was 45 years old when he played in his last year in 2004.
Thanks Norse, I couldnt remember for sure. Sorry if I brought up any bad memories.
That’s alright. The therapy sessions seem to working these days. At least I don’t go hide in my closet anymore when I see or read his name. Wait…standby, I’ll be back in 10 minutes!:)
It’s a damn shame that all we remember about him was one missed kick. Kinda feel sorry for him because he wasnt the only one that choked in that game.
Gary who? Never heard of him!

I’m glad you put him out of your mind CC
Yeah I watched NFL Network’s top 10 blunders (or something like that) last night. Anderson was like #6, Marshall was #1.
The bit out Phil Luckett was my favorite part, however.
I have a rather obscure annoyance from most others about the ’98 championship game. Robert Smith running out of bounds when all we needed to do was keep the clock moving is still my greatest pet peeve. At least Anderson’s was a physical “just miss”. RS was more of a blunder from this coach’s perspective.
I. Love. This.
