TFD: Photo sure looks like Brett Favre's head on Sage Rosenfels' body

Amusement.

This is hardly a big deal, but the Vikings sent out a disc recently with photos of all their players. The image they sent of Brett Favre looks ... well ... manipulated. Specifically, it sure looks like they took a head shot of Favre and put it on fellow QB Sage Rosenfels' body. Please study and note that despite the differences in color (probably our fault, and we don't know how to fix it), the uniform (creases, lettering, etc.) is exactly the same. Amused, we sent out an e-mail inquiry to a couple of Vikings media relations guys. Both were nice about it, but neither could confirm our suspicion (they legitimately didn't know), so we'll have to let the eyes be the judge. Again: not making a big deal of this since head shots are typically all that are published. But we're still amused. And the Favre picture was clearly included JUST IN CASE HE PLAYS. We can't stress that enough. But hey, it was nice of the Vikings to let Sage be Favre's body double.
