Archie Manning and Brett Favre are fans to each other

When Archie Manning was playing for the New Orleans Saints as a quarterback, Brett Favre was still a young boy living n southern Mississippi. Although Manning never managed to have a winning season, Favre still took the former Mississippi star college player as his favorite quarterback.

With Manning being his idol, Favre also attended the Ole Miss to be a college football player there. Years later, Favre became a professional NFL player and also developed into a star quarterback. Then he was finally recognized by his former idol, Archie Manning, who made public statement that Favre was as great quarterback his own sons, Eli Manning and Peyton Manning. Knowing that Favre was formerly his fan, Manning said it was now his turn to support his alumnus.

While Favre never played for the Saints and always met his favorite team as opponents with each other, he at least has managed to join the Minnesota Vikings and get the number four, the number on Archie Manning jersey when the ex-NFL quarterback was playing his last career season with the Vikings.
