EducatedBet…Streak Ends!

Number 4

Finally, David Witthoft shunned his Brett Favre jersey for the first time in 1,581 days.

The Ridgefield, Conn. boy, 12, wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David’s father, Chuck Witthoft, said Monday that his son’s last day wearing the jersey was April 23 — his 12th birthday. Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.

Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago, and attended his first Packers game in December. He’s also planning to attend the Sept. 8 game when the Packers retire Favre’s No. 4. His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

Wow, I thought I was a huge Cowboys fan and I really am but this kid really really loves Favre. This is pretty bad a**…we know that the jersey was getting small but this kid did not care at all. He probably wore it to school everyday and had to deal with his classmates ripping him apart…but he did not care all he cares about is NUMBER 4! And now it comes to end, but I feel that this streak is better then the real number 4!
