Joe Stewart, Jayson Wissmueller and Matt Bannach got Brett Favre's autograph Saturday morning, but they've been wearing his signature since 2007. The three friends paid $50 each to get his signature tattooed on their arms (Wissmueller and Bannach) and heart (Stewart) right before they deployed to Iraq with a Milwaukee-based Marine Reserves unit.
They showed Favre a photo of themselves taken by a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photographer at Twentynine Palms, Calif.
"He said, 'When was this picture taken?' And we said '2007.' He said, 'You've grayed a little,'" Wissmueller joked at a tailgate party at Brett Favre's Steakhouse shortly before Favre's induction ceremony.
