Brett Favre gave some advice to Deion Sanders

In November, news broke out that Brett Favre was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In the same interview with TMZ, when asked if he had any advice for Deion Sanders, Favre stated that the Colorado coach doesn't need his advice.

He is inspiring a lot of people and he should just keep moving forward.

"Not that he needs my advice," Brett said, "but just keep doing what you're doing. You're impacting so many people, and so many people are pulling for you, just keep it rolling." [H/T: TMZ]

The fans are relieved and are excited to see Coach Prime back on the sidelines, leading the Colorado Buffaloes to new heights.
