David Witthoft, 11, of Ridgefield, Conn., who hasn't stopped wearing his Brett Favre jersey since Christmas four years ago, finally attended his first Green Bay Packers game Sunday, Dec. 30, 2007. Witthoft traveled with his family to Lambeau Field to watch the Packers' 34-13 victory over the Detroit Lions Sunday. Witthoft admits he will probably soon have to hang up the jersey, which he received for Christmas in 2003.

Mid-Daily Items: Favre Jersey Sacked



Maybe it just wasn’t impressing the girls anymore.

Whatever the reason, 12-year-old David Witthoft finally shunned his Brett Favre jersey for the first time in 1,581 days.

The young man from Ridgefield, Conn. wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. His father, Chuck Witthoft, said Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 — his 12th birthday.

Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.

Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago, and attended his first Packers game in December. He's also planning to attend the Sept. 8 game when the Packers retire Favre's No. 4.

His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

- Pull over and put down the dog.

A California lawmaker wants to ban motorists from holding pets on their laps while driving and getting caught can result in a $35 fine. The bill passed the Assembly on a 44-11 vote on Monday, and heads to the Senate.

Assemblyman Bill Maze says his legislation has nothing to do with pet-loving celebrities who are photographed driving around Los Angeles with their small dogs.

Maze says he introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving with three dogs on her lap.
