A Wisconsin radio station is asking angry Packers fans to reconsider dumping their Brett Favre gear.
Two talk show hosts at WTDY in Madison are collecting old Favre sportswear and donating it to the homeless.
Dan Deibert and Kurt Baron call themselves the Wisconsin Guys. They're collecting Favre jerseys, hats and sweat shirts as part of a "4 The Poor Jersey Drive."
They say burning, shredding and running over Favre gear are all "pretty good ideas." But they say a better idea is donating the "useless" clothes to a Twin Cities homeless shelter so they don't go to waste.
Donors will be entered into a drawing for tickets to the Packers-Vikings game in Green Bay on Nov. 1.
The station will deliver the gear before the Oct. 5 matchup in Minnesota.
