Newborn twins named Brett and Favre

Last update: March 6, 2008 - 4:34 PM

Brett Favre's retirement this week may mean out with the old, but the Packer quarterback's name has new life in the retirement mecca of Florida.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that David and Emily Kinsaul of Palatka, Fla., named their newborn twin boys Brett and Favre.

"I was hoping we'd have at least one year of him still playing," David said. The twins were born Feb. 22.

The Press-Gazette report says David Kinsaul grew up in Florida, moved to Madison, Wis., and lived there for about 3 1/2 years and now is back in his home state.

"There's a whole culture up there, watching the games and being interested in the Packers," he told the newspaper. "I just really missed it. And I loved watching Brett play. You could just really tell he loved the game, and he was fun to watch."
