    He returns.

    Brett is back in GB today for an event at Bart Starr's Rawhide Ranch.

    He'll speak briefly at the steakhouse and at Rawhide Ranch.

    BLF has no plans to attend the Packer Falcon's game.

    I suppose he doesn't want to take from the teams by being a distraction.

    It would be a natural time to make an announcement of some kind of peace treaty, Packers, Falcon's, Bart Starr, etc, etc.

    Bart is too ill to attend, but is supposedly recovering from his stroke.

    Why does it have to be a big deal for him to attend? Why can't he just go to the game without fanfare? Sure, the cameras would pan to him once or twice, but unless the networks went overboard, there would be no distraction...
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    The game is on ESPN with Michaels and Collinsworth. They'd be all over it all night long.

    My thoughts exactly. He is 3 blocks from the stadium. Go to a box and watch the game. It doesn't have to be about you for once. Just go, don't tell the media and the world. Sure they will find out and show him on TV. But who cares if he doesn't fly in the same day and say he wants to suit up and play or something.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    At this point it's going to be a spectacle no matter how they go about it. If they put on a big show of him being there, well, it's a big show. If he shows up quietly and sits in a box, the cameras will find him and spend half the game talking about him and dollars to donuts he ends up on the field at the end of the game. There's just no way to do this quietly and without it turning into a circus and someone asking him why he decided to finally come back. It's been too long and the reunion is going to be an event.

    I think this was a good way to start his return. Quietly in and out of town, short appearance in front of essentially a hand picked crowd and some the Packers brass present (Mark Murphy was there).

    Favre attends Starr tribute, hints at 2015 reunion

    Jeff Ash and Mike Woods, Post-Crescent Media 9:10 p.m. EST December 8, 2014

    " If Brett Favre had any lingering concerns how the majority of Packers fans feel about him, they should have been erased early Monday afternoon.

    Appearing at a fundraising event for the Rawhide Boys Ranch at the Brett Favre Steakhouse, the future Hall of Fame quarterback received a long and loud standing ovation from the approximately 200 in attendance. "
