Favre, who played for Southern Mississippi from 1987 to 1990, did not commit to a career in broadcasting but said he wanted to "check out the view from the pressbox."
I never really pegged Favre as the type to get involved in sports broadcasting and in this small sample size, I would say that he's got some work to do. At the very least, he could work on selling us on the fact that he is excited to be there.
Regardless, Favre was a hall of fame playing talent which means if he wants to be a part of ESPN's 42-man NFL Countdown crew, he will be.
By the way, the ridiculously overstaffed NFL Countdown pales in comparison to the best Sunday morning NFL pre-game show there is: NFL Matchup.
Matchup happens to air on the same network, unbeknownst to all because it airs at seven in the freakin' morning.
Gotta' love ESPN. Burying one of their few really good, insightful shows with probably their two best analysts Merril Hoge and Ron Jaworski.
