You know what happens when our consecutive days your guitar hero guitar you just received goes kaput and then your bike breaks while your riding it? You get in a really crap mood that is only heightened by spending upwards of $400 on books for class. The only thing I feel like doing right now is screaming, but you all don't care you want jokes and entertainment. I'm not mocking (drafts) today though, I'm hitting you up with a dose facts you never knew before courtesy of the greatest tome of knowledge known to man: Wikipedia.

Brett Favre was the second of four children and attended
Hancock North Central High School where he played baseball and football. Favre started for the Hancock North Central baseball team as an eighth-grader and earned five varsity letters. He played
quarterback,
lineman,
strong safety,
placekicker and
punter in a primarily
option, run-oriented offense coached by his father, Irvin Favre.
Even his father knew not to let him throw the football.#2 Favre began his freshman year at Southern Mississipii as the seventh string quarterback and took over the starting position in the second half of the third game of the year against
Tulane on
September 19,
1987. Favre, despite suffering a hangover from the night before and vomiting during warm-ups, led the Golden Eagles to a come-from-behind victory with two touchdown passes.
"Come on. Some defender get open."#3 According to the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other sources, during the physical after the trade to the Packers, Brett Favre was diagnosed with
avascular necrosis, the same degenerative hip condition that ended
Bo Jackson's career, and doctors recommended he be failed. Wolf overruled them.
"Oh Crap, better hurry up and throw this pick before I get hit!"#4 According to
Michael Holley's book
Patriot Reign, the Patriots were considering
Tom Brady and
Tim Rattay in the 2000 NFL draft, both of whom had received positive reviews from then quarterbacks coach Dick Rehbein.
Tim Rattay's lack of goat love turned the Patriots off.#5
