Brett Favre shares Father's Day message, warns against mixing politics with sports
NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre joins 'Fox & Friends Weekend' on Father's Day.
Father's Day comes around every year — and no matter how much time we have beforehand, it’s often really tough trying to figure out what to get dear ol’ dad.
He’s that special guy who lends a helping hand when we need it, provides a shoulder to cry on or just fixes things when they break.
Whatever your dad (or stepdad, or grandfather, or uncle) is to you, he deserves to be honored on Father’s Day.
Here are some great gift ideas (beyond the ubiquitous tube socks or obligatory tie!) for the millions of dads across America.
