I discovered that when I read the headline on my column in the paper about Brett Favre facing the Giants - his nemeses - for the first time since the NFC Championship Game seven months and 80 degrees ago at Lambeau Field.
There's some interesting stuff from Favre on what his dad might have told him during the off-season soap opera that ultimately ended with his divorce from the Packers' organization. There's also a tidbit about a conversation I had the other day with Michael Strahan about Favre.
I had mentioned to Strahan that he did the right thing by taking all the time he needed before finally realizing he was ready to retire, as opposed to Favre's early retirement in March and his subsequent reversal that caused so much upheaval. Strahan said Favre should have done the same thing.
There's also an interesting nugget about what Favre's dad, Irvin, might have told him had he still been alive today. Brett said Irvin Favre would have told him to keep playing ... in Green Bay.

I wonder if Brett Favre, Osi Umeyiora, the Madden cover jinx, the jets jinx and Favre's consecutive game streak are all about to crash at the intersection this weekend :)
Oh my goodness.
