Brett Favre spotted playing in dodgeball tournament

Found January 15, 2013 on Busted Coverage: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brett Favre,  Nick Foles
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings,  Philadelphia Eagles

Via Busted Coverage:

How has Brett Favre been staying busy this winter? Oh, just by taking part in a Friday night dodgeball tournament at the Temple Baptist Church in Hattiesburg. Billed as the ’5th Annual Dodge Ball Tournament,’ Favre was easily the biggest celebrity name in the $30 per team tourney.

The Gunslinger has been busy with alternative sports. You might remember back in November when he participated/cheated in a Southern Miss sorority 5K.

From what we can see of the Twitpics, Favre is looking rather gray, but athletic. The three-step drop still looks smooth.  It’s like the guy hasn’t lost a step.

To say the locals were excited to play dodgeball with Brett would be an understatement.

Nailing guys in the head? Yep, sounds like Favre will be ready to roll once the Eagles call in August after the Nick Foles experiment begins to fall apart.

  • Whether you like Farve or not this is awesome, if you did not like dodge ball in school your a wimp. I'm sure in todays school they probably don't let the self esteem generation play. I bet it would hurt like HLL getting hit by him. Let the negative comments begin, have fun Brett!

  • "Bratt" looks a little heavy. Part of getting older I guess. Seems like dodge ball would be a good sport for him. He's dodged enough defensive linemen in his day along with a few inquiries as to his cell phone activity!

  • Awesome! I'm sure that red ball packs quite a punch when he's throwing it!

  • I'm older so I remember both Dodgeball, and Bombardament. How bad would that suck to have Brett Favre slinging a dodgeball straight at your melon?
