The Associated Press is reporting Brett Favre is returning to the NFL, well actually to work for the NFL Network. The three-time NFL MVP quarterback will join the network's crew for coverage of Sunday's NFL championship game between the Ravens and 49ers. Favre returns to the city where he led the Green Bay Packers to a 35-21 win over New England in the 1997 Super Bowl.

Favre said in an email that he doesn't miss the ``grind and stress of day-to-day football, but I do miss my teammates and coaches.'' He also said it will ``be great to reconnect with NFL fans around the Super Bowl.''
