Paul Hornung predicts winless Favre

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Paul Hornung was one wild guy and one great football player for the Green Bay Packers, and then there was that betting incident and back in those days they did not fool around with that stuff and one of pro football’s greatest stars at the time was suspended.
That is what makes Paul’s comments about Brett Favre funny, really. You don’t even know if he is saying the truth or just going for the laughs. Throw in the fact that he is a diehard Packer and the whole thing becomes pretty meaningless.
Hornung predicts Brett Favre can't win as a Viking
Here is what Paul had to say.
Still charismatic and boastful at 73, Hornung pleased the many Packers faithful in attendance at the Marshview Conservation Club’s 10th annual sports banquet with his prediction on how Favre and the Vikings’ season will turn out in 2009, should No. 4 end the drama and finally sign with the Packers’ bitter rival.
“(Favre) ain’t going to win in Minnesota,” Hornung told the crowd on Tuesday night. “I’ll bet on it.”
That last line drew waves of laughs from the 300 people in attendance at the fundraiser. As any diehard Packers fan from the Glory Years knows, the “Golden Boy” was suspended from the NFL in 1963 for betting on games.
