Favre Coming Back in '07

Punxsutawney Phil didn't his shadow this morning, which means we can expect to see an early spring. Brett Favre did see his shadow this morning, which means there will be at least 16 weeks of football left for Favre. And somewhere, Aaron Rodgers is wishing he spent even more time in the green room at the 2004 NFL Draft.

(I got the whole "did he/didn't he" see his shadow thing wrong earlier. I apologize for not being completely up on my German folklore. Thank you anonymous for pointing this out!)

Favre's return isn't much of a surprise. After a disasterous 2005 season, one where Lord Favre tossed nearly 30 interceptions and Green Bay win just 4 games, the Packers rebounded to finish a surprising 8-8. The young offensive line came together at the end of the season, the defense is young and improved, and Green Bay has the draft and free agency to improve even more.

Leaving, at this point, would have been a foolish decision for a man who doesn't give off the impression that he isn't anywhere close to being finished.

The groundhog did not see his shadow, which means we will see an early spring. If he did see it, he would be scared back in his hole for an extra six weeks of winter. Celestially, winter is to last another six weeks anyway. Groundhog Day is a good movie. Poop.
