Ziebart says, "Not quite. His athletic abilities, he can probably throw a ball about five times farther than I could ever imagine."

Putting all jokes aside, Ziebart has a deep passion for football. He's been playing and coaching for over 30 years. He says his kids will yell "here comes Favre" but not everyone agrees.

Ziebart says, "Some people say I look like Brett Favre some people say no resemblance at all, it's everyone's own opinion."

Ziebart says people confuse him for Brett in grocery stores and gas stations, but his favorite run-in was last last summer while he was in Green Bay during the Packers training camp.

Ziebart says, "I got up in the morning it must, about 6 or 7 o'clock, I had a bunch of kids yelling Brett Favre can I get your autograph I turned around and said I'm not Brett and kept on running."

While he could have signed those autographs, one thing is for sure Ziebart and Favre share a passion for what they do. »

Even though it'll be extremely cold at Lambeau Field for Sundays game Greg Ziebart says the thousands of fans will warm the stadium; his prediction, 34-17.
