Report: Favre will soon be a grandpa

With a head and a beard full of gray hair, quarterback Brett Favre already looks like a grandpa. Soon, he reportedly will be one.
Larry Fitzgerald, Sr. of the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder recently reported (via Jeff Ash of the Green Bay Press-Gazette) that Favre's oldest daughter, Brittany, is soon expected to give birth to a child.
Favre, who was 19 when his daughter was born, apparently would be the first grandfather to play in the NFL, if he returns for the 2010 season.
UPDATE: Though we've yet to locate any official confirmation, it's likely that George Blanda also was a grandfather during his career. He was married in 1949 and had 11 children; it would be surprising if one of them didn't have a child of his or her own before Blanda retired in 1976.
"I have to keep playing so people over 40 will have somebody to root for on Sunday afternoons." George Blanda who played until he was 46
