SHE WASN'T SELLING AUTOGRAPHS
When we were in Killarney, Ireland, this Summer, I saw a woman at our hotel who had on a Favre family tee shirt.  I didn't bother to talk to her, but a friend of mine from New Jersey did.  She claimed to be Brett's mother, there on a church mission.

I believed it when Steve told me.  He simply said, "Well, tell him he has fans in New Jersey." 

But then recently there was this impostor Brett in Green Bay (pictured) charging for autographs while keeping his head down.  So, now I'm wondering if that was really Brett's mom, as substantiated by a woman with her, or not.

I had a student named Taylor Hornung.  She said her father often used his name to get better seating at restaurants, once having to resort to an impersonation of famed Paul Hornung himself.  Adding Taylor was named Taylor after Packer running back Jim Taylor.

There just seems to be something about impersonating a Green Bay Packer.

So as Cardinal pitcher, Joaquin Andujar stated on multiple occasions, "youneverknow".
