Hey, we're talking about Brett Favre a lot tonight! Wonder why! His 297-game streak is over and he's selling footballs to commemorate that and his backup is playing all right against the New York Giants except for on handoffs and Peyton Manning is your new streak leader and OH MY GOD look at that hideous purple hand on the Gunslinger (warning: his hand is really gross):
I am not a doctor, but it appears Brett Favre's arm has died. Fox's Pam Oliver is wise to keep her distance. Insert any "one-armed, flyin' purple-handed" or whatever joke you've got, because humor may be the only way we'll pull through this.
If his hand looks that bad, just be glad he's wearing long sleeves, because the rest of his arm has got to look even worse. Keep in mind it's a shoulder injury, too. Is Favre entirely purple under all those layers? Like in Avatar? Say it with me:
Favratar.

Honestly, that looks like more of a lighting issue than anything else… :-p He looks vaguely purple-tinted all over to me.

Ouch...

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

I tore my hamstring once and the purple dripped down my leg to my ankle. The rest of his arm might look ok now.

Both hands and his face are the same color...
Nothing to see here.
