1,561 Days, Fan Finally Takes Off His Favre Jersey

David Witthoft, the youngster who had been wearing the same Brett Favre jersey every day for more than four years, has finally taken it off. The timing of Favre's retirement actually works out pretty well for the young fellow. He was turning 12, and as 12-year-olds often do, he was growing quickly. The jersey he was given on his 7th birthday barely covered his torso these days.

Whoa!! That's insane!!!

 

what a geek, lol

 

I remember seeing this story on ESPN when they first talked about how long he had been wearing it, Finally took it off. Get you a Rodgers one son

 

Kind of a douchebag. If I went to school with that kid I would have kicked his butt and ripped it off him years ago, just to be an butthole.

 

He'll be able to take the rodgers one off after the third week...

:icon_wink:

 

yea because you're such a tough badass

 

LMAO!!! rep!!

 

Kid probably smells pretty bad too...he's the smelly kid.

 

Did his parents at least wash it? If not, what the hell were the kid's parents doing letting him wear it that long?

 

she (the mom) said she washed it every other day

 

In that case, it's not so bad. Probably saved the family a crapload of money, too. I guess what they say is true. The only thing more durable than Brett Favre is a Brett Favre jersey. :icon_thumleft:

 

Ummmm....yeah...ok.

 

...

 

Shiet he got on ESPN, and im sure packers would prob be doin something for him. So good on him. If only 2% of people these days supported their team that much.

 

damn at least buy him more then one jersey.... were they poor?

 

I don't think it was a money thing at all, I think he wanted his jersey to have as many consecutive starts as Favre

 

I don't see any problem with that. He's just a kid.
If a grown man did the same, I'd be worried about his mental health but a 12y old kid... no issue here.

 

It's pretty funny. The kid got some attention out of it.

 

yea that is pretty crazy. he must of been a die heart Favre fan
