Do you want to know what makes Brett Favre awesome? His Wrangler jeans? By golly, no. Is it his gunslinging style of play? Nope. His passion and fire for the game of football, the fact that he just can’t quit after all these years? Heavens no.

It’s his penchant for tossing dead animals into his teammate’s locker (via thejetsblog).

Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton’s locker.

Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton’s locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.

“It definitely had the wow factor,” said left guard Alan Faneca, whose locker is next to Barton’s. “I’ve never had a dead animal brought into the locker room, so yeah, it’s up there.”

Wait a second, haven’t I seen this somewhere before?
