Brett Favre brought it all during his lengthy Hall of Fame speech in Canton on Saturday night — tears, emotion, and laughs.
Long after he teared up while talking about his dad, Favre began talking about his former teammates. That’s when he got in a funny line about his former offensive lineman, Marco Rivera. Beware — this language may be inappropriate for some:

Favre was the final speaker of the night and went well over a half hour with his speech. Though he acknowledged midway through that he was going for a world record, it’s hard to say that he didn’t deserve the time, or that it wasn’t all worth it. From talking about the importance of his family to expressing gratitude towards his coaches and teammates, this was Favre’s night. And he ended his Hall of Fame speech just like he ended his playing career — with records and hogging all the spotlight as the center of attention. At least he got in that great line.
