Brett Favre is scheduled to give the Philadelphia Eagles a pep talk on Saturday, a day before Super Bowl LII. Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount, however, does not seem excited with the idea of Favre sharing his Super Bowl experience to the team. After all, he has two Super Bowl rings, twice as many what the Hall of Famer signal-caller owns. When asked whether he had listed a few questions to throw at Favre, Blount had a straightforward and hilarious response, per James Palmer of the NFL Network.
I asked LeGarrette Blount if he has anything he wants to ask Brett Favre Saturday morning when he speaks to the #Eagles. He said, “How many Super Bowls has he won?” I said one. Blount laughed and said, “Na, there ain’t too much I want to ask him”

Brett Favre’s appearance in front of the team is an initiative by Eagles head coach Doug Pederson, who thinks that having a one-time Super Bowl champion speak to his team would boost his team’s confidence ahead of the highly anticipated showdown with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It’s a nice coaching touch by Pederson, as it will give Eagles players a great opportunity to get the insights of someone who has won a Vince Lombardi trophy before, but he will have to try harder to impress LeGarrette Blount.

Perhaps Blount forgot that Favre’s only Super Bowl win came at the expense of the New England Patriots in 1997, and while that was a completely different team than the one the Eagles are are going to face this Sunday, there might be some helpful insights about their opponents that the three-time NFL MVP could part to Philly.
Then again, Blount played for two seasons with the Patriots, so yeah, the 31-year-old running back probably does not need Favre’s help.
