The Green Bay Packers have their opponent. The Packers will host the Seahawks in the NFC divisional playoffs next Saturday after Seattle beat the Washington Redskins, 35-14, in a wild-card game today.
Favre's last shot at something Super?
Now that the Green Bay Packers have been reshaped into a young team on the rise, it's entirely possible -- maybe even likely -- that Brett Favre will again talk himself out of retirement and return to play next season. Still, the Packers' slide to a 4-12 record in 2005 after winning three straight division titles shows that success is difficult to sustain in the NFL. Even if this isn't Favre's last season, it might be his last good shot at winning another Super Bowl.
"I would say at this stage of my career -- as opposed to '95 and '96, where you could say, 'We'll get 'em next year' -- a lot can change in a year," Favre said Friday as the Packers returned to practice for their Jan. 12 playoff game. "If you look at last year and the previous year, yeah, it is an opportunity that is right in front of us that hasn't presented itself in quite a while." [More]

Brett Favre is an interesting person to say the least. There is a way to see what really makes Brett Favre so unique to the NFL.
There is an interesting book on Brett titled "10 to 4". Unlike most books, Brett really gives his viewpoints in half of each chapter going all the way back to high school. This read tells you so much about Brett and why he is having so much success this year. You can view the book online at:
