The news is finally in, the weeks of waiting for his decision ar at an end and i’m extremly glad to say he WILL be back next season at the Lambeau. In an exclusive interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald he revealed the news and gave quite a few reasons as to why he’ll be back for another season.
His first comments included, “I am so excited about coming back. 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.“
and finished off by saying, “In my mind, I remember saying this is my last opportunity. Whether that was true or not, I kind of put that pressure on myself.“
Brett Favre is the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. He has been their starting quarterback since 1992. He is of French and Choctaw ancestry; one of his paternal grandparents was a Native American affiliated with the Choctaw.
As the only three-time MVP (1995-97) in NFL history, Favre has led the Packers to two Super Bowls, with a victory against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI, and a loss to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII. He has played 16 seasons in the NFL. Favre has the most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks with 237 (257 total starts including playoffs) and completions (5,021), and ranks second behind Dan Marino for career touchdown passes (414), career attempts (8,224), and career yards (57,500). With 147 victories as a starting quarterback, Favre is tied with Dan Marino for second; they trail John Elway’s 148.
It’s great news to hear he’s coming back and I can’t wait to see him rip apart even more defences come the ‘07/’08 season…
