Brett Favre is done playing for the Green Bay Packers, but he will make one last appearance at Lambeau Field, during the Packers' regular-season opener, to have his number retired.And since that opener is on Monday Night Football, you can bet that ESPN is going to be a wall-to-wall Favre fest that day. Bob Wolfley of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports:
Favre's wife, Deanna, was described by ESPN's ombudsman as the first Monday Night Football booth guest whom the viewers approved of. I have a feeling Brett will be the second.ESPN plans to send the entire crew of "Monday Night Countdown" to Lambeau for the game. ...
So in addition to the crew there covering the Packers-Vikings game, with Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski and TonyKornheiser in the booth, the "Countdown" collection of Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, Steve Young, Emmitt Smith and Chris Mortensen is scheduled to be on site as well.

Good football player, 2 and 1/2 MVPs, but let's move on. We have seen enough of him already.

GREAT football player; one of the greatest ever.
3 time MVP and all the QB records. With all that he's done on and off the field, he deserves all the air-time he gets. Appreciate it ANY time he comes around, because it doesn't seem like he'll do it much. He was THAT special and I'm a Giants fan from way back in the day.
