Florida Couple Names Twins Born Yesterday Brett and Favre
by CriticalFanatic
>7 days ago

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.

The poor Favre kid is going to spend his whole life wondering what would've happened if he was born first and was named Brett.  He's screwed.

It's a weird name but by the time they're in grade school none of the other kids will have any idea who Brett Favre is, especially in Florida.  What I found funny was that the parents said they were planning on doing this 'for years' and it has nothing to do with the retirement.  You were planning on having twins for years?

Please, in a world where kids are named "Apple", "Kafka", "Rumer", and my favorite "Tabooger" courtesy of Dan Cortese, "Favre" is somewhat pedestrian.  Besides two kids who would have otherwise been unknown are now forever linked to that day, and have acquired fame through no act of their own... uhhh, you know what, they'll both be in and out of rehab.

No, they've been planning on abusing their children for years...

That first day of school will be tough, the teacher calling him Fav-Re. I hope he has a good middle name.

His middle name is Moses.  So it's a crappy yet biblical name.

If you want to name something after your favorite player that's what dogs are for, not your kids.

I got my friend Michelle's son Sandberg's jersey for his third birthday.  When he wears it he comes running up to me, spins around, and says "Look, Ryne Sandberg, #23...the best second baseman ever."  Michelle says that between his daddy and me, the poor child is doomed to love the Cubs forever.  And if it's left up to us, he will.

It could be worse.  Since they are in Florida, they could have been Warren Sapp fans....
