Favre vs. Testaverde - Old and Olderer!

Green Bay Packers vs. Carolina Panthers:  This senior moment is brought to you by Flexall Ultra Plus Rub for Joint Pain - or it should be, anyway!.

I couldn't pass on the opportunity to join in the good natured ribbing of Brett Favre and Vinny Testaverde - the oldest quarterback pair in the NFL who will face off on Sunday at Lambeau Field - with a combined age of 82 years, 44 days.

Favre, 38 is expected to start opposite Testaverde, who turned 44 on Tuesday.  And ever since it has been announced, the jokes have been rolling faster than a walker headed downhill.  "Whatever the jokes are, they're good, is the way I look at it," Brett Favre said. "Because we're still playing. And that says a lot."

So, just what is being said about the AARP Bowl?  How about they're serving prune juice instead of Gatorade; the team dinner will be held at 3 p.m., bingo to follow; it'll be "Cocoon" in cleats. 

Yep, all that and more.  When asked why he though Testaverde was still playing, Favre replied that he must really must love the game.  Either that "or he's broke, one of the two."  Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
