Saturday Night Live‘s recent history when it comes to lampooning sports is, at best, mixed. During last night’s Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost dropped a joke about Brett Favre’s package, related to Peyton Manning breaking the NFL touchdown record. Granted Favre’s text messaging habits have been joked about plenty of times over the last couple days.
This also isn’t the first time SNL made a Favre dick joke. The show skewered him back in 2010 with an “Open Fly Jeans” sketch starring Jason Sudeikis.
