Brett Favre: Legendary Quarterback Surfaces at Saints Game

Brett Favre has been spotted at an NFL stadium, and no, he's not taking reps to potentially replace Tim Tebow.

The legendary quarterback is currently chilling in a box at the Superdome, taking in a shootout between the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions.

Favre was reportedly interested in the Chicago Bears quarterback position in early December. However, the Bears opted not to sign him, meaning the 42-year-old will have to be content with watching this year's playoffs.

Favre is obviously no stranger to comeback stories, and his throwing arm had to be itching while watching some of this season's performances.

In 2011, the NFL is undeniably a quarterback's league. Drew Brees shattered Dan Marino's single-season passing record, throwing for 5,476 yards. Tom Brady (5,235), Matthew Stafford (5,038) and Eli Manning (4,933) weren't far behind.

Also, three quarterbacks threw for at least 41 touchdowns this season, with Brees once again leading the way (46).

Favre's personal single-season bests of 4,413 yards and 39 touchdowns pale in comparison to the numbers quarterbacks are putting up these days. However, if Favre's prime came 10 years later, he would be putting up obscene numbers like Brees and Co.

Unfortunately for Favre, his playing days are in the rear view mirror. From here on out, he'll have to settle for lighting up backyard defenses in Wrangler commercials.
