Brett Favre returns to Green Bay Sunday and FOX Sports will make sure you don't miss any of it. That's not hyperbole -- the network will have a camera trained on the 40-year-old quarterback for 60 minutes of football, and they'll stream it live on FOXSports.com and NFL.com. Because if it's one thing that we need more of, it's Brett Favre.
The New York Times' Judy Battista first mentioned the news on Twitter ("Fox is going to have 'Favre-cam' Sunday, providing a non-stop online feed of Favre's every move at Lambeau. Lombardi, turning over.") And the Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad got the official word from FOX: there will be a camera on the 50-yard line "isolated on Favre from the second he takes the field against his former team until the moment he runs back into the locker room."
Awesome.
There used to be a time when just watching the game was enough for most folks. But as Spencer Hall writes for SBNation, "You, the viewer, will not be robbed of a second of Favre's return, and will see each ball flip, boyish laugh, cheap downfield block, and carefree interception in all its glory, most likely at the expense of things actually happening on the field while Favre chews his nails on the sideline."
And to that Peter King says: "Hell yeah."*
* For the dim-witted: Peter King didn't really say that.

now favre is also a camera man. and we thought he was just another washed up quarterback
You actually think Favre asked for a camera on him the whole game???? Favre may not be the best QB in the NFL this year (I would say he is in the top 10 and by no means is that a stretch, certainly not WASHED up) but he is definitely the most entertaining QB. Just look at the #'s from the Minn/GB 1 on ESPN and the hoopla surrounding Minn/GB 2 and every other NFL network....
Good God, what's next for this media-overloaded country--separate cable channels for the top 100 athletes? When is enough enough? Talk about idol worship. And no, I couldn't care less that's it's Favre--doing this with anyone is ridiculous.
Get over it! Love Brett

GB should be very concerned. He will play like he played the game his father died. Emotional. He knows what he has to do. And gm mm will be very very sorry he forced him out!!!!!
