As you would expect, people on social media immediately started taking shots at Favre and making him the butt of their Saturday morning jokes.
Wait what happened to Brett Favre as guest picker? Did he just invite the current FSU cowgirls on the bus and refuse to come out?

No Brett Favre. Talked to ESPN employee. "Jet broke down."

Chris Fowler: Just got a text from Brett Favre with his picks.
Lee Corso: [grabs phone] Not so fast, my friend.
"Word from our source @ #espncollegegameday is that Brett Favre plane had mechanical issues & he probably won't make it." #Depressed

Wait, he's coming back.
Never mind. He's not.
Ok, he's back on.
Nope, he's gone
Maybe there is time to get Katy Perry to do an encore.
