It's been really refreshing to see that the sports world hasn't been overreacting to the Brett Favre retirement news. I mean, ESPN hardly even touched on the matter and Packers fans seem to be taking this in stride. Or not.
First there was mass pilgrimage to Lambeau Field to pay their respects. Then there's the Pro Football Hall of Fame being inundated with phone calls from eager fans inquiring about seats to the 2013 Induction Ceremony. But none of these stories pales in comparison to what a Florida couple did yesterday.
Dave and Emily Kinsaul, diehard Packers fans, gave birth to twin boys yesterday. It was a joyous moment that helped them forget about the sad news regarding #4.
That didn't mean he wasn't in their thoughts, however. In fact, they named their twins Brett and Favre. That's right, Brett Kinsaul and Favre Kinsaul have been welcomed into Packer nation.
I would expect Brett's childhood to go rather smoothly, but I'm afraid Favre is facing a lifetime of alcohol and vicodin jokes. Sadly, this is only the beginning. The couple plans to have a third child named Interception.
