David Witthoft finally shunned his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in 1,581 days. The 12-year-old Ridgefield, Conn., boy wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a Christmas gift in 2003. David's father, Chuck Witthoft, said that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 on his 12th birthday. Witthoft conceded his son started to become concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.

I just don't know what to say.

I will assume the shirt was removed for regular visits to the washing machine to have lasted as long as it did.

bet the shirt smelled like no. 2

I did something like this once. It was all good. Nobody noticed.

May 6, 2008  07:56 AM ET

OK. You caught me.

Obviously, what you did was not anything like this. You do not where the same shirt everyday for 5 years and nobody notice.

Sure you could. Wear something over it so it couldn't be seen.

He is 12 now, and got the shirt in 2003? Like, when he was 7 or 8? The shirt still fits enough to pull over to his belt? Hopefully, it was 5 sizes to big when he got it...

Smart move by the parents. They saved thousands on clothes for the kid. Maybe even enough to pay for the therapy he will need...
