Brett Favre has told the Biloxi Sun Herald in his native Mississippi that he will be back for the 2007 season. Remember when NBC chose to air the meaningless Packers-Bears game because it could have been the last game for Favre and John Madden surmised that Favre wouldn’t be back because he was crying so much after the game? Well, Madden was wrong.
I am so excited about coming back. We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year and that’s encouraging.
My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch. I’m excited about playing for a talented young football team.
Brett Favre is such a media whore. He couldn’t wait till after the Super Bowl to make his plans known? He had to go public on the Friday before the Super Bowl? Please. The greatest interception thrower in the history of the game sure has a huge ego. This is good news for 1) Brett Favre and 2) Packers’ opponents this year. This is bad news for 1) Packers fans and 2) Packers players. One more year retarding the development of Aaron Rodgers while the Packers miss the playoffs so Brett can keep living his dream.

One reply on “Brett Favre will be back for 2007”
sad — Like Jerry Rice before him, this is a case of a superstar with nothing left to prove hanging around too long. As a fan I want to see him go, but I can understand how it would be hard to walk away from something you have been doing all your life.
