Good, I hope the Eraser and Ray get to say hello to him up close and personal come fall.
Oh, and I hope Leber gets a good "opps upside the head" in there as well.

Updating a previous report, Al Jones, of the Mercury News, reports Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre is thrilled to be returning for the 2007 season and is optimistic on where the club is headed next year. "I am so excited about coming back," Favre said during an exclusive interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald. "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."

He is coming back to sweep the vikings for one more season.
This should also give you more to talk about this off season since the vikes are terrible and can't even get your own people to pay for a new stadium, unfortunatley he has to play in that garbage dump again =(

I read where he wants to get Moss for a receiver.

FAVRE COMING BACK FOR 2007
pft.com

Packers quarterback Brett Favre will play in 2007.
On Friday, Favre told the Biloxi Sun-Herald of his intention to return.

"I am so excited about coming back," he said. "We have a good nucleus of young players.
We were 8-8 last year and that's encouraging.

Take a deep breath, the Favre crotch-sniffing is still alive and well.

"My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch. I'm excited about playing for a talented young football team."

We heard just yesterday that several players expected Favre to be back.
And why shouldn't he?
Last year, there was a dark cloud hovering over the franchise like a UFO at a trailer park, and no obvious effort in the offseason to infuse big-name talent onto the roster.

Favre eventually opted to come back, and his decision initially looked like a bad one.
But then the team began winning games, got itself into the playoff hunt, and wrapped things up with a New Year's Eve drubbing of the Bears.

In a conference that is more watered-down than the mixed drinks at a bar owned by George Costanza, the Packers have a great chance to make it to the playoffs in 2007.
And who knows?
Maybe Favre will get a chance to pull a John Elway and ride into the sunset with his second Lombardi in tow.
