Brett Favre accomplished a lot over his Hall of Fame career, but his former Green Bay Packers teammates might not have the fondest memories of him.
Favre, in case you haven’t heard, is a well-documented prankster who often terrorized the Packers’ locker room with practical jokes and gags. And if you don’t believe us, the 46-year-old ex-quarterback recently provided evidence by regaling reporters with one of his cruelest pranks.
“When it got extremely cold and guys had to park outside in the outside parking lot … we would go unlock their cars because it was gated,” Favre said in a conference call Tuesday, via ESPN.com. “We’d go out and get into someone’s car and we would move it to the far end of the parking lot and leave it running with the air conditioning on.
“So when we got out, we would take like a cup of water and we’d throw it on the door and it couldn’t open. When they finally were able to get in, it would be — as you could imagine it’s 30 degrees, 0 degrees, whatever outside — it was even cooler inside. That was a cruel prank, though, in Green Bay.”
You think, Brett?
Enduring Wisconsin’s winters is painful enough, but stepping from subzero temperatures into an even colder car sounds like a nightmare.
Of course, Favre’s strong play on the field probably made his antics more tolerable. But the ex-QB, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month, insisted it was all in good fun.
“To me, I could not believe they were paying me to do what I was doing,” he added. “There would be guys who’d seem so miserable, and I could not figure it out. I always tried to do my best to keep it as lighthearted as possible.”
