It's french. I am guessing the R is actually supposed to be silent.

So then it's pronounced "Ickssecetboyfiend"? That doesn't sound right.

Uh-oh, that's it...I guess you have to go on my ignore list. I can't associate with ANY Red Wing fans.

No, in your case you can pronounce the R. Enjoy!

It's because he's from Mississippi (sorry if that offends anyone from there ). I am not a Fav-re fan and that is how I pronounce his name. I'm a Vikings fan, so even if Brett did pronounce his name the way it's spelled, I still wouldn't like him.

 

[dmfuru]

His last name, Favre, rhymes with suave when pronounced properly.

I Mr Favre (secretly...being a Chicago Bears fan its not really allowed)
