Weird Favre Fact Found while Doing Research
I did a piece on Brett Favre's retirement for the Wednesday newspapers.
And I came across the quirky bit of information:
Brett Favre's career ended, it now turns out, when New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes nailed a 47-yard field goal in overtime.
Turns out, the maiden name of Favre's wife?
Deanna ... Tynes.
Yep. Just like the Giants kicker.
No relation, as far as we can tell.
But two people named "Tynes" looming large in your life. What are the odds? I mean, do you know anyone else on the planet with the surname "Tynes"?
I don't.
Anyway, kinda weird.
