SANDY, Utah (AP) — Former NFL great Brett Favre stopped by a high school football practice in a Salt Lake City suburb this week to sign autographs, take pictures and giving a speech to the team.
The Deseret News reports (http://bit.ly/1uXxCiU ) Favre told the Alta High School players in Sandy, Utah to have fun and remember that their playing days will be over before they know it.
