Aaaand … he’s coming back. After the initial story — noting Favre could be, ya know, kinda, slightly, secretly interested in playing football again — I’m sure this news comes as a surprise to absolutely no one. What is surprising is that the Packers have decided not to play sweetheart to Favre and now the good ol’ boy is looking elsewhere to gunsling, have fun and be good for America.

Let’s also not forget that Favre is coming off a pretty remarkable season last year. Half of the NFL teams should be thinking about signing him because half of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL probably couldn’t lace Favre’s cleats, much less lead a team to the playoffs.

But now that all this news has broken, the next set of questions to think about is: How will the old man hold up and how well will he adjust to a new system so late in his career? My hunch. Not so well.

Sidenote: Hey, ESPN, copy editor at lunch?

Aaron Rodgers, who will be entering his fourth season with the Packers, is Favre’s heir apparent. ESPN.com’s Ed Werder interviewed Rogers, who was playing at celevbrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Friday.

“There’s nothing I can tell you about the situation,” said Rogers, who refused to comment further.
