Do you know who gets to wear the gold jacket?
Closers!
Brett Favre wasn’t always a closer in his NFL career, but he still got to pick up a gold jacket on Thursday night. Favre joined the other seven members of the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame class in donning the traditional jacket at the Hall of Fame dinner.
In true Favre fashion, the only guy in the bunch without a tie on.

Of course, the man of the hour — much to his own delight — was Brett Lorenzo Favre.
