Brett Favre’s legendary status keeps growing by the day.
As the former NFL quarterback prepares to be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, stories have been leaking out in droves about the crazy, zany Favre and his many exploits.
Former Packers safety LeRoy Butler added his thoughts about his old captain, via ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. He was reminiscing about an injury Favre suffered back in 1995—one that turned his ankle “yellow, green, orange and brown,” as Butler remembers it, and he told Favre, “Dude, you can’t play next week.”
As most of us who watched Favre limp onto the field on many occasions are aware, he had a bearish tolerance for pain.
