MINNEAPOLIS -- The election of Brett Favre to the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2016 has brought back a wave of interviews with, public appearances from and stories about the Ol' Gunslinger (which, judging by metrics, are catnip for fans and media members alike). Former Minnesota Vikings guard Steve Hutchinson was part of one of the more memorable twists in the last chapter of Favre's career, and Hutchinson resurfaced on Monday to share tales of what played out like a madcap caper.
Hutchinson was one of three Vikings who was spirited away from a training camp practice in August 2010, boarding a plane for Hattiesburg, Miss.
