“The funniest line from Brett Favre. I’m playing with him in the Pro Am in Memphis in August. It’s 125 degrees. Daly said at the 1:13:51 mark on Spotify.

Brett Favre was one of the most durable quarterbacks of his era. The Southern Miss product’s professional career spanned three decades.

Favre has one of the most impressive résumés in football. He is a one-time Super Bowl champion, three-time MVP, one-time Offensive Player of the Year, 11-time Pro Bowler, four-time NFL passing touchdowns leader, two-time NFL passing yards leader, and he’s a member of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team. Favre was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

Favre is widely considered one of the best quarterbacks of the 1990s; he also thrived for large spells in the 2000s as a member of the Packers, New York Jets, and Minnesota Vikings. He called it a career at the end of the 2010 season.

John Daly’s hilarious story about Favre indicates that the three-time MVP maintains his competitive edge. However, it’s unlikely that he’ll be getting tackled by any 350-pound lineman anytime soon.
