Brett Favre a shoo-in for Pro Football Hall of Fame

It's the definition of a "sure thing."

The next class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be announced Saturday, and former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is sure to be inducted.

It's #4's first time on the Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot, but his stats and stature make him a shoo-in.

"Nothing is ever a lock, but I am honored to be here," Favre told NFL Network. "I never dreamed of MVP, I never dreamed of the Hall of Fame, I dreamed of playing. And running out with my helmet off, like I did in the Super Bowl. That is all I ever dreamed of, so all of the other stuff, Pro Bowls, MVPs, Hall of Fame potentially, are things that are over and beyond of what I ever dreamed of. And I am extremely thankful for that."

Interceptions (cough, NY Giants loss in 2007 that I'm still having nightmares from, cough) aside, one of the all-time greats. Truly a pleasure to watch on the gridiron. Thanks for the memories!

I wonder if he will sext a photo of the HOF ring on his junk.

One insanely durable player, beyond his stats.

That’s right, I forgot all about that. It was pre-Weinergate, IIRC. Maybe it inspired Huma’s hubby.

His most odds-defying moment may have come while in purple:

LOL! (I'm in Minneapolis and there are lots of Packers fans here too; they sure were vocal when Favre came to the Vikings for one season.)

He threw the ball as hard as anyone. Sometimes maybe too hard.
