The headcase has it from a VERY good source that Brett Favre has the blessing of his family and will announce his return to the Vikings when he visits the Tonight Show next week as it returns to its previous spot after booting the late, great Conan O’Brien (Conan needs Andy on the couch, not in the corner).

I learned several weeks ago that Favre, although beat up badly, did not want to make a hasty decision after the Saints loss as he has before and instead kept quiet. But after the MVP season he had, even his family had to admit he still had it…and good.

So with the family behind him, he has contemplated return under the condition that the Vikings make some necessary changes on the line and in the receiving corp – which I have no doubt the ownership will move mountains to do in the off-season. Favre is their key to a new stadium in MN.

Packers can gloat all they want but it is for naught. We got more out of Favre than we could have hoped for. We beat you twice, won the division and went to the championship game. We didn’t have Aaron Rodgers in the wings, we had Tavarus Jackson and maybe the possibility on another 10-6 season with a one and done.

Favre gave us moments we’ve never had and watching Pack fans squirm all year would have made an 0-16 season worthwhile. Favre is the best investment the Vikings made, for entertainment value alone, and it looks like they agree because from all appearances….he’ll be back and soon.
