Seeing Favre around town not that unusual

By Alan Hinton
Hattiesburg American


orty minutes before he planned to open his Alpine Snow snowball stand one morning this past summer, Mike Phillips looked up and saw a recognizable face.

The man was dressed a little different from what Phillips, and millions of other football fans, usually saw. In other words, he was not wearing a green or white jersey with the No. 4 on his back.

But there was no doubt, it was Green Bay Packers legendary quarterback Brett Favre. He was at the snowball stand with one of his daughters.

"Can we get a snowball?" Favre asked.

Phillips opened for business 40 minutes earlier than usual that day.

"I asked him how things were going," Phillips said. "He said, 'Things are growing so fast with it raining so much that I can hardly keep up with it.'

"I did not mention football to him."

Phillips is an avid University of Southern Mississippi football fan. That's where Favre played in college. And now Phillips is a Packers fan, because of Favre.

But Phillips did not mention football to Favre because Hattiesburg is where Favre lives, at least when the NFL season isn't going on, and he figured Favre got asked about football enough.
