Hey y’all!  Gather ’round the learnin’ screen!  Brett Favre done brought his practical jokin’ to them city slickers on the Jets!  Yee-haw!

[Linebacker Eric] Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton’s locker.

Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton’s locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.

Woo hoo hoo!  Good one, Brett!  Oh man!  That was hiiiigh-larious the way he killed an animal and put the rotting corpse in his teammate’s locker!  That Brett, he just knows how to make a team come together.  Nothing lightens up a room like the smell of death!
