GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) _ Brett Favre will return for his 17th NFL season, undeterred by his injuries and hoping to lead the Green Bay Packers back to the playoffs.
¶ "I am so excited about coming back," the 37-year-old quarterback said Friday on Web site of the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss. "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."
¶ The team had no immediate comment on the report.
I smell playoffs!
Oh, and did I mention that the Bears still suck?
