Report: Favre will soon be a grandpa

With a head and a beard full of gray hair, quarterback Brett Favre already looks like a grandpa. Soon, he reportedly will be one.

Larry Fitzgerald, Sr. of the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder recently reported (via Jeff Ash of the Green Bay Press-Gazette) that Favre’s oldest daughter, Brittany, is soon expected to give birth to a child.

Favre, who was 19 when his daughter was born, apparently would be the first grandfather to play in the NFL, if he returns for the 2010 season.

UPDATE: Despite some accounts that George Blanda had as many as eleven children, he apparently had only two. Thus, it’s possible that he wasn’t a grandfather when he retired in 1976, 27 years after getting married.
