It was a formality, but now it's out of the way - #4 now has just one more round of voting to go before he can start making reservations in Canton this summer.
On Thursday evening, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the Finalists for the Hall's class of 2016. To the surprise of no one, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is among those finalists.
As one of the most prolific quarterbacks in league history, Favre is a lock to make it this far and is in all practicality assured of a spot in Canton this summer.
