After a crushing defeat to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre, wasted no time in deciding upon his future. And that future is the 2014 Winter Olympics. When asked what event he was going to enter, Favre replied "All of them."
Although a shocking revelation to most, those in Favre's inner-circle have known of his Winter Olympic dreams for quite sometime. He briefly considered quitting football after the 2001 season to focus on making the U.S. squad in time for the 2002 Salt Lake games.
In fact, Favre also revealed that his off-season workout regimen includes many Olympic favorites like Alpine Skiing, the Nordic Combined, and Figure Skating. He told reporters, "I look badass in a spandex body suit." When one reporter smirked at the comment, Favre grabbed an ice skate from his locker and stabbed him in the face.
Favre refused to answer any more questions, but with his football legacy already sealed, Favre said he owes it to his fans "to be known for something other than throwing 4th quarter, season-ending interceptions."
For a man who's retired from football a couple times, starred in films with Ben Stiller, and is an avid wearer of Wranger brand denim jeans, this doesn't seem like such a far-fetched idea. Rather, it's just another notch on the bedpost for the modern day Renaissance man that is Brett Favre.
