From FOX News: GREEN BAY, Wis. — David Witthoft finally shunned his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in 1,581 days.
The 12-year-old Ridgefield, Conn. boy wore the No. 4 jeresey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003.
David's father, Chuck Witthoft, says Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 on 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.
So, Greg, it looks like your record is safe. How often does your wife wash and mend your Favre jersey?
