Daddy Brett of Brittany Favre is the first NFL grandfather QB

Brett Favre might not have been able to deliver a Super Bowl victory to Minnesota, but Brett Favre’s daughter Brittany Favre has delivered something even more significant: a baby boy. Nothing is more precious than a new child, and the birth of Parker Brett adds much new accolade to the Brett Favre career. Assuming he returns to play for the 2010 NFL season, Brett Favre could possibly be the first grandfather ever to lace up spikes within the NFL, according to various resources. George Blanda may have actually been the first active NFL grandfather, but that achievement is disputed.

21 in 2010, Brittany Favre is a proud mama

But Brett Favre guards the privacy of his family closely, so the media at large has yet to get Brittany Favre’s official reaction. Brett Favre’s daughter cedes the limelight to daddy Brett Favre, who made the following statement to the media (See source below) regarding Brittany Favre and her son Parker Brett:

“Deanna and I are very proud to welcome our grandchild Parker Brett to the Favre family. Parker Brett was born on Friday, April 2, weighing 7 lb. 7 oz., and we’re pleased to say that both (sic) Mom, Dad and Parker Brett are healthy and doing great.”

Congratulations to the family and to Brittany Favre

Even though Brittany Favre’s father (and Parker’s grandfather) Brett Favre may annoy some fans with his constant retirement talk, there is no doubt the grandfather quarterback can definitely still play. Some fans might jokingly wonder if he’ll play long enough to line up alongside Parker Brett, but of course that can be next to impossible. Brett is nevertheless unsure if he'll even return to the Minnesota Vikings in 2010, or if he's retire to his own business ventures such as payday loans no fax. He’ll be 41 years old on October 10, and he’s won more games than any other starting quarterback in NFL history (181). Yet the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder says Brett Favre will likely be back for more (See resource below). The publication quotes an unnamed source as saying “I t! hink he (Favre) does not mind trying it again.”

Brittany Favre should probably wait on "trying it again" until Parker Brett is out of diapers. Then again, Brett Favre never shied away from adversity as a player. Possibly this will run within the family. whatever Favre's daughter decides, she apparently has a loving family concerned for her.
