Nine seconds.
That’s how long it took 46 voters from around the country to “discuss” Brett Favre’s worthiness for the Pro Football Hall of Fame during today’s selection meeting on the third floor of the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco.
That’s nine seconds out of an 8-hour, 49-minute meeting in which 18 finalists were considered for the Hall’s Class of 2016.
Yeah, that’s how good the ole gunslinger was. A Hall of Famer who stands out even among Hall of Famers.
And, oh yeah, Brett made it. The record-setting NFL ironman needed only his 20 seasons, three MVPs, one Super Bowl title and record 297 consecutive regular-season starts (321, including playoffs) to gain the votes necessary to become one of the 303 Hall of Famers in NFL history.
