Brett Favre is headed to the Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor after a stellar career that spanned 20 seasons and included 11 Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl title. But Favre was also a Hall of Fame prankster, which he recounted recently during a conference call with reporters.
"When it got extremely cold and guys had to park outside in the outside parking lot," Favre said, via FOXSports.com. "We would go unlock their cars because it was gated. 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."
So that sounds awful. But in the spirit of equality, Favre didn't discriminate when it came to practical jokes. Rookies, vets, coaches -- everyone was a target, as evidenced by this awkward trick-or-treating Halloween stop at the house of then-Packers coach Mike Holmgren (you can see the YouTube clip here, in all it's 1990s majesty). There's also this oral history of Favre, as told by his backup QBs and former coaches, that includes a hilarious anecdote about Favre, John Madden, a production meeting and some foul-smelling sulfur.
