GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre's family is ready for his return to Green Bay if he winds up playing for the Minnesota Vikings.

Favre's family and friends have booked 25 to 30 rooms at the Midway Motor Lodge near Lambeau Field for the weekend of the Nov. 1 Vikings game at Green Bay, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

The quarterback's family and friends often stayed at the hotel during Favre's final years with the Packers, Midway manager Doug Warpinski told the newspaper. Warpinski declined comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old Favre retired in February for the second time, blaming a partially torn biceps tendon for his poor play for the New York Jets. The three-time NFL MVP reportedly had surgery on his right shoulder in May.

The Vikings have expressed interest in bringing him back for a 19th season.

If the Vikes do indeed sign Favre they're idiots. No 39 year-old with a surgically repaired throwing shoulder is worth the kind of money I'm sure Favre will demand. All it will do is give them salary cap headaches.

While your points are valid, Brett Favre would definitely put butts in the seats.

Putting butts in the seats has never been a problem for the Vikes. The Metrodome is always full. So for all of Brett's popularity I still say he's not worth the salary cap headaches he would cause.

and he's still better than any QB that the Vikings currently have.

I thought Terrell Owens got a lot of attention in 2005 for his Eagles soap opera, but that was nothing compared to Favregate.

Even T.O. never got THIS attention from ESPN!
