CANTON, Ohio - Brett Favre thinks his Hall of Fame display is “pretty cool”, but until he saw it for the first time Friday morning he was not aware that a Minnesota Vikings No. 4 jersey was hanging in it next to his Packers No. 4.
Favre didn’t have any reaction to the dual acknowledgment, but he knows Packers fans will.
“Green Bay fans probably don’t like the Vikings jersey,” he said as he walked through the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his way to a luncheon with fellow Hall of Famers.
Favre insisted that he had nothing to do with the dual-jersey display and didn’t know anything about it until contacted by a media member.
“Who was that that asked me?” Favre asked. “(ESPN’s) Ed Werder. He said, ‘How do you like your display,’ and I said, ‘I don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about. So I finally saw it this morning.’”
Pete Fierle, vice president of communications for the Hall of Fame, told ESPN that the Hall decides what will be in each display. He said the players don’t have a say in what will be placed in them.
Regardless of where his career ended, Favre said he knows how he'll be remembered, even if his old quarterbacks coach, Steve Mariucci, had to rib him a little.
"With Mooch this morning, we kind of did a little walk-through and talked about it, and he kind of poked fun at Green Bay and Minnesota being in the same locker together," Favre said later at his official press conference. "But there’s no doubt how I will be remembered, and that’s as a Packer, as it should be.
"I wouldn’t trade my 16 years in Green Bay for anything."
