After years of denial and evasion, Brett Favre has admitted to brownieman.net that he is an old hillbilly. The Vikings QB, who recently came out of retirement for a record 32nd time, will appear on the cover of Redneck Times magazine, due to be published on Sunday. “Yes I am a hillbilly,” the cover of the magazine reads. “I cannot be a role model if I lie or hide this any longer.” This admission brings to an end years of speculation over the QB’s ancestry. “At one time, Favre was one of the bright lights of the NFL but he has since faded into obscurity. If it wasn’t for the speculation about his hillbilly-ness, I doubt anyone would care about him at all,” said Andrew Bassett, a life-long Vikings fan. While Favre is likely to insist that his admission has nothing to do with his career, there is little doubt that it will project him far from the hills of Mississippi and into the media spotlight once again. The Vikings open the regular season next week in Cleveland.
