The internet is a curious place. And its latest debate is not a Brady vs. Montana montage. Imagine a bar debate cranked up to Monday Night Football intensity. One side swears a silverback gorilla could bench-press the ’85 Bears. The other argues 100 men would swarm it like ants at a Fourth of July picnic. Yes, the internet’s latest storm is about 100 men vs. 1 gorilla. Okay, now toss Brett Favre into the mix. The Packers legend isn’t just armchair-quarterbacking this circus—he’s dropping truth bombs shorter than a two-minute drill.
This isn’t Favre’s first rodeo with chaos. Remember the ’90s when he turned fourth-quarter comebacks into an art form? Now he’s wading into a viral storm where logic and testosterone collide harder than a tailgater’s fender bender. It’s the kind of debate that makes you scratch your head and wonder, ‘What on earth?’ But that’s exactly what makes it so intriguing. And Favre has stepped in with a simple yet powerful message that’s got everyone talking.
On April 29, Favre reshaped the debate with two words: “They win.” Replying to an AI analysis of 100 men versus a gorilla, he clarified, “If this was 100 NFL players mixed with OL/DL/LBs—they win.” The internet erupted. Stats flew: gorillas bench 1,800 pounds, bite harder than lions, and terrify humans like IRS audits. But Favre, ever the strategist, sees a huddle. His take? Classic gunslinger logic: Surround the problem and outlast it. But the debate’s roots trace to 2022.
It’s when Ravens players pondered this absurdity post-Steelers win. Now it’s a cultural wildfire, hitting 217 million views. Tech analyst Mark Gadala-Maria fueled it with an AI breakdown video asking, “Can 100 unarmed men defeat a gorilla?” MrBeast eyes it for content; meme lords smirk. However, Favre’s take cuts through the noise: football IQ trumps primal rage. But long before weighing in on gorillas, Favre faced heat for his ties to animal testing.

In 2019, he championed PreVPro, a concussion cream tested on beagles using Mississippi welfare funds. Sources claim Favre knew about the dog studies, calling them key to “legitimizing” the product. Though he denied direct involvement, investor decks listed him as “executive leadership.” Besides, Favre’s animal-linked drama spans decades. And he found himself on the wrong side of things in the previous decade as well.
In 2008, PETA blasted him for a locker room “prank” involving a blood-filled bag of dead wildlife, labeling him a “coward.” Now, as he advocates for human dominance over gorillas, critics spot a pattern: reducing life to strategy. Whether testing creams or theorizing brawls, Favre frames chaos as solvable—if you’ve got enough bodies. Meanwhile, another drama unfolds: Shedeur Sanders, the draft’s fallen star, sits waiting for his phone to ring. Enter Favre, again, with a playbook only a gunslinger could write.
When Legends lift Legends
Brett Favre wasn’t done. His week blurred past and present. One moment, he’s dissecting primate brawls; the next, mentoring a 21st-century QB through draft-night limbo. His message? Grit outlasts hype. As Shedeur Sanders’ draft freefall stunned fans—plummeting from QB1 chatter to Day 3 obscurity—the Hall of Famer tossed a lifeline.
“Heck I didn’t care when I got drafted,” Favre tweeted. “It’s what you do when your # is called that matters, not when you were taken. On top of that, the team that drafted me didn’t even want me.” Favre knows rejection. Atlanta drafted him in ’91, then traded him fast. But he became a three-time MVP. Sanders, once a lock for the top 3, now mirrors Favre’s path: underestimated, itching to prove 31 teams wrong.
Sanders’ stats (14,347 yards, 134 TDs) scream first-round talent, yet teams hesitated. Favre’s advice? Make them regret it. But why do we love these clashes? Maybe it’s the same itch that made Rudy a classic or had us rewinding The Fridge’s touchdowns. Underdogs vs. Goliaths—whether animal or draft board—stick to our ribs like Grandma’s apple pie. Brett Favre’s career screamed resilience; his tweets now echo that.
Philosopher George Carlin once joked, “Man is the only animal that thinks about animals.” Maybe. But if 2025 taught us anything, it’s this: Never bet against a gorilla…or a guy who once played through a broken thumb.
