Brett Favre will be back!

This may be Brett's last year or not. Go see him play, if he is playing in a stadium near you.

No matter what you think of Brett and the Packers, he is one of a kind.

PS I have had Season Tickets to the Packers' games since 1960.

If he stays healthy through training camp, Favre will be able to add to his ironman string of 221 consecutive regular-season starts (241 including playoff games). No other quarterback in NFL history is even close, with Peyton Manning holding second place among active quarterbacks with 128 consecutive starts.

Favre has never missed a start since coming off the bench on Sept. 20, 1992, for an injured Don Majkowski and rallying his team to a 24-23 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

By playing another season, Favre has the opportunity to break a few indelible records:

• With 25 touchdown passes, he will pass Dan Marino's mark of 420.

• With 290 pass completions, he will pass Marino's mark of 4,967.

• With nine victories, he will pass John Elway's mark of 148 as a starting quarterback.

Favre would need to play at least two more seasons to break Marino’s record for most passing yards. Marino passed for 61,361 yards in his career with the Miami Dolphins; Favre’s total stands at 53,615.

When I think of Brett - I think of "There's Something about Mary" and 'Why don't you fill me up, Buttercup'

Like him....but I think it only helps the Pack tread water for another year....no chance of winning

I grew up in Chicago and was a diehard Bears fan. Now, after living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the last nine years, I have been converted to a Packers fan mainly because of Brett Favre. He is really fun to watch. I just hope he doesn't throw as many interceptions as he did last year. Oh, I still root for the Bears when they aren't playing the Packers.

Did I lose or win my bet?

Good news. I had a bet with my BIL over whether he was coming back. Now I cannot remember which side I took. O well, we bet a bottle of wine so I win either way.

I think it will be impossible to get tickets in Green Bay so I'll have to look at other cities if I want to go.

Maybe my BIL can scrape up some tickets.

I will get hate mail for this but I always thought the Pack won inspite of him not because of him. He may set a record this year for ill advised passes.

I will happily watch the implosion again.....I like and respect BF but I am no fan of GB.

Now they just paid a premium price for one of my former favorite Raider players Charles Woodson.....but CWood has been hurt for the last 4 seasons....I can't understand why they are paying him so much for such a long contract at his age and with the continuous injury issues.
