Brett is overjoyed at receiving the First Ever Wafels & Dinges 'Waffle Award' (photo)

I've just acquired this hot of the grill press release:

Wafels & Dinges Names Brett Favre

Recipient of Its First Monthly “Waffle

Award”

 

New York’s Premier Waffle Maker Honors Renowned “Wafflers”; Donation Made to Green Bay Soup Kitchen

New York, NY, Aug. 1, 2008 –  Wafels & Dinges, New York-based makers of traditional Belgian waffles today announced the creation of its first Wafels & Dinges Monthly Waffle Award, which recognizes high profile “wafflers.”  It highlights, in typical Belgian good humor, someone who has made news by significantly changing his or her mind on an issue.

 

The Wafels & Dinges July 2008 Waffle Award goes to NFL great Brett Favre, who tearfully announced his retirement on March 4, saying, "I know I can play, but I don't think I want to. And that's really what it comes down to."  In July, however, the Green Bay Packers quarterback said that he was "never fully committed" to retirement, is “100 percent committed” to playing football in 2008.  As of August 1, he was mulling over a reported $20 million offer from the Packers to stay retired.

 

What has ensued is a sports soap opera complete with thinly veiled personal accusations and tampering charges.  The NFL’s all-time leader in touchdown throws and passing yards sent a letter to the Packers asking for his unconditional release, which would enable him to play elsewhere.  The team, which had planned to retire Favre's No. 4 jersey during their regular season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 8th, has refused to release him.

      Wafels already has the best food in town Waffle wise - and they are always in the press with photos of celebs camping out to eat. THIS tops it and I was thrilled they sent it to me.
