MINNEAPOLIS – The father of Pro Bowl Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Jr – a long-time journalist for the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder – broke a story this week that Brett Favre just might become the NFL’s first active grandfather.
Brittany Favre, Brett’s 21-yr old daughter, just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and the soon-to-be Hall of Fame quarterback confirmed the news on his website:
"Deanna and I are very proud to welcome our grandchild Parker Brett to the Favre family," Favre said. "Parker Brett was born on Friday, April 2, weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz and we're pleased to say that both Mom, Dad and Parker Brett are healthy and doing great."
Favre’s youngest daughter, Breleigh, is only 10 years old.
I guess now it would be appropriate for his Vikings teammates to call him "Gramps" in the locker room.
Favre is no stranger to the Raleigh area. His Golden Eagles of Southern Miss lost to NC State in the 1991 All-American Bowl – his last collegiate football game. You can’t walk down Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh during the football season and not see at least one throwback Green Bay Packers #4 jersey. Also, how many times have Raleigh fans driven to Charlotte to see Favre play against the hometown Carolina Panthers?
Favre is even the co-founder of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, with twelve locations across the country – including Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte. There is no doubt Favre is one of the most marketable athletes/celebrities in pop culture today, and very well known in the Raleigh area.
The only thing that is in doubt is whether or not "Gramps" will return to fulfill his destiny as possibly the NFL’s first grandpa QB.
