Favre to play in 2007

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will return to play in the 2007.
TIM ISBELL/SUN HERALD
Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will return to play in the 2007.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will return for the 2007 season, he told the Sun Herald in an exclusive interview this morning.

"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.

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

Favre, the former Hancock North Central and Southern Miss star, told the team about his return this morning. He said he'd made the decision after consulting with his family at home in Hattiesburg and that he knew he wanted to come back in the locker room after the season finale against the Chicago Bears.

Favre completed 56 percent of his passes in 2006, throwing for 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. The Packers finished 8-8 after a disappointing 2005 season where Favre threw 29 interceptions and had his first losing season as a starter.

Green Bay was in the playoff race until the final week of this season.

He needs one more victory to tie John Elway for most as a quarterback. Favre has completed more passes (5,021) than anyone in NFL history and needs seven touchdown passes to pass Dan Marino's record of 420.

Favre became the Green Bay Packers' quarterback three games into the 1992 season, and hasn't missed a start.

Favre's streak of 237 consecutive regular-season games started has been compared to Cal Ripken's record in baseball, and his three NFL Most Valuable Player awards put him in elite company.

In 1996, Favre was the guiding force to the Packers' first NFL championship in nearly 30 years. Green Bay beat the New England Patriots 35-21 in the Louisiana Superdome, just an hour's drive or so from his home in Hancock County.

"It's a great feeling," Favre said after the game. "The fans have been great and my hometown has been wonderful. It would be great anywhere, but it adds a little bit to it, doing it here, so close to home."

Favre and the Packers got back to the Super Bowl the next season, but lost to John Elway and the Denver Broncos 31-24. They never got back to the NFC championship game, but remained the best team in the NFC Central, which became the NFC North when the NFL expanded to 32 teams in 2002.

Favre spent his rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons, playing in just two games, before being traded to the Packers in 1992.

"In my mind, I remember saying this is my last opportunity," Favre said. "Whether that was true or not, I kind of put that pressure on myself."

Favre to play in 2007

TIM ISBELL/SUN HERALD

Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre said he will return for another season in 2007.Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will return for the 2007 season, he told the Sun Herald in an exclusive interview this morning.

"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.

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

Favre, the former Hancock North Central and Southern Miss star, told the team about his return this morning. He said he'd made the decision after consulting with his family at home in Hattiesburg. His wife Deanna said she didn't want to be involved in the decision-making this time around, though.

Favre said he wanted to come back in the locker room after the season finale against the Chicago Bears. Last year, he waited until late April to let the team know he was coming back.

This morning, he called the team then told favorite receiver Donald Driver before calling the Sun Herald.

Favre completed 56 percent of his passes in 2006, throwing for 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. The Packers finished 8-8 after a disappointing 2005 season where Favre threw 29 interceptions and had his first losing season as a starter.

I was over at my friends house and I was getting some lemonade when he shouted out from his bedroom that Favre said he was going to play in '07. Of course, I thought he was yanking my chain. When I got into his room and say it on ESPN I started jumping and running around his house like a freakin' maniac. I think his Mom thinks I have something wrong with me now, but all is well because #4 is at the helm.

By the way, get a load of this jackass.

On Around the Horn, all the analysts on there also agreed that it was a good idea for Favre to come back! It seems that the overall opinion on Favre coming back for another year, is much stronger this year than last.

BTW...Oregon?? Your Grandmother may be right about girls like me, but i have to admit, I have two left feet when it comes to doing the polka :oops: :lol:

Most likely it's because people saw that the Packers are a team on the rise. Last year many analysts thought we were a bottom five team. This year a lot of them think we can be playoff contenders.

I'm surprissed Mariotti didn't blast him for coming back.

Even more so, they're not seeing a guy coming off his worst season at QB, either w/ 29 INTS.

Oh, I emailed that mark guy on that article you posted. What an idiot!

Thataway, GB! What'd you say to him?

basically told him in a nice way that he was full of shit. I mean, I know Brett isn't what he used to be, but the guy still has what it takes to play at a high level. Maybe if he had some weapons that other QB's have, it would pad his stats so that idiot commentators have something else to judge him by.

Read what this loser said....

I love how these guys think they know the team better than the guy that actually plays for the team.

Congrats, Badgerinmaine,

As a present to yourself, climb Mt. Katahdin tomorrow. I had the pleasure of hiking up that mountain peak many years ago, though I did it in July.

I think it's a little nippy for a trip up Katahdin today :-) I was on Katahdin a number of years ago but we turned back just above the treeline when it started getting rainy. Today my wife is taking me skiing--I've only been once since I had a bad car accident in 2002 and I'm hopign it goes well.

This was never in doubt. What is in doubt is whether he plays in 2008. I knew he was playing until he passes Marino's TD mark. There was never a question on that. Now they are really at the point that they challenge for the playoffs this year and a possible superbowl in 2008 if they can have another big draft this year.

It's so great Favre's coming back! Hopefully I'll finally get to go see the Packers this year in person for Favre's last hurrah. I'm just crossing my fingers that Green Bay plays in Dallas next year!!!! (I live in Oklahoma).
Go Packers!!!!

A nice Packer fan called me and told me at work. I didn't have access to the internet until today so I couldn't celebrate with my fellow rats. :(
