Here we go again, another coy cat and mouse game between Brett Favre and the NFL viewing audience. Will he grace us with his presence for one more glorious season? Will he shuffle off in his Wranglers to his farm where he can rustle cattle and toss the pigskin through an old tire hanging from a tree branch? Oh, the suspense!
