Favre love-fest continues

The Wisconsin Legislature passed a resolution honoring three-time MVP quarterback Brett Favre.

If you haven’t heard, Favre retired last week after 16 seasons with the Pack.
Rep. Phil Montgomery, who met wife Deanna Favre while campaigning in 1998 and Favre himself a few years later during a push for public money for Lambeau Field renovations, was the chief sponsor of the bill, according to the Associated Press.

Montgomery for legislators how Madam Favre told him she didn’t need his campaign literature because she votes in Mississippi and how Lord Favre would attend high school football games and pass out leaflets about the renovations.

It was unclear from the story whether Montgomery recommended starting the process for pushing canonizing Favre for sainthood. Nor did the AP story determine whether Montgomery would campaign for Favre to enter the NFL Hall of Fame as a Green Bay Packer. Sources say there may be an underground movement underway to have him inducted as an Atlanta Falcon.
