The Twitterverse was buzzing Wednesday with the news that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had, finally, created an account. Not surprisingly, Rodgers quickly built a massive following (us included).
(Quick aside: If more of you want to follow OBOD on Twitter, that’d be cool by us. Come on, guys. Please?)
While surfing around various Twitter sites Thursday evening, we at OBOD uncovered a gem of a scoop: Brett Favre also appears to building a Twitter page.
We were only able to uncover a rough version of the page (we’d provide the link, but we’re afraid we’ll get in trouble), but amazingly, Favre already has a solid amount of Tweets up. We highlighted and copied most of what was there – his profile picture, a three-shot of a pair of Wranglers, a Hyundai and the Sears logo unfortunately wouldn’t paste on our site – and are more than happy to share it with you now.
Again, this is an OBOD exclusive (get to the back of the line, Schefter!):

So there you have it, dear readers. It looks like No. 4 just can’t let Rodgers have anything.
Oh, and sorry for the bad language. Don’t blame us – we just printed what he said.
Have a good weekend, everyone.

Very funny. I knew it was too good to be true – Brent’s too lazy to Twitter.
Not too lazy, foundinidaho. Just can’t make up his mind about whether he wants to tweet or not.
