Last month, I wrote in this space that Brett Favre would step in the broadcast booth to provide color commentary for a Southern Miss game. Indeed, that happened over the weekend:

Your reaction to this video is one of the following:

Well, it's nice to see Favre in the spotlight again... even if it isn't what he does best.
I wonder whether he's got anything left in that arm.
Hmm. He's fumbling a few of his words... but at least he never fumbled the football.
Sure, he tripped over his words a time or two, but on the football field, there's only one thing he could have tripped over: his legacy as a LEGEND.
You know, seeing Favre up there, dressed like an average Joe, without a uniform... it just doesn't seem right.
I bet he could still head out there and play.
Ha. You can take the Gunslinger out of the game, but you can't take the game out of the Gunslinger.
It's nice of his broadcast partner to toss him a few jokes... reminds me of when Favre himself used to toss touchdowns. Why, 508 touchdowns, to be precise!
Well, he says he's retired... but as opposing NFL defenses learned the hard way, it isn't a good idea to under-estimate the ol' Gunslinger.
It just hasn't been the same without the ol' Gunslinger.
It just isn't the same without the ol' Gunslinger on the field.
It just isn't the same without Favre out there, doing what needs doing, gettin' it done.
It just won't be the same without the Gunslinger.
It just isn't the same minus Brett Favre, the Gunslinger.
If his television career is anything like his football career... look out!
Looks like he's telling a few jokes. Well, back in the good old days, he'd turn defensive secondaries into a joke.
I bet Brett Favre could still go out there and show today's ballplayers what it means to be a REAL quarterback.
For interception or touchdown, for bad or for good, Favre was out there, giving it all he's got. Now he's giving it all he's got... as a play-by-play announcer.
This weekend, the Southern Miss broadcast booth featured a TRULY special guest: none other than Brett Favre.
After his retirement, Brett Favre returns to the football stadium as... a broadcaster?!?!? This week's sign of the Apocalypse...
From field vision to television: Brett Favre literally hangs up his cleats and dusts off a mic, literally.
Paging Bob Costas... the ol' Gunslinger is gunning for YOUR job. Better step up your game!
The Gunslinger on a television show? Well, you might expect him to star in a Western, but he's actually going to be the star in a Southern [Miss broadcast booth].
He's like a kid up there.
Brett Favre, from a birds-eye view: "it sure does look different from up here." The Falcons, from a Falcon's-eye view: Darn! We should have kept Favre!" Well, 20 years later, guess who has to eat crow.
Just hasn't been the same without him.
It just hasn't been the same without Brett Favre.
Hey, TV viewers: are you ready for what Favre's throwing? If so, you'd better make sure you're getting good "reception."
From signal-caller to television signal caller, Brett Favre has done it all.
Television networks ought to be second nature for Brett Favre. He's used to getting it done over the air.
Favre's already a pro in the TV business! Looks like he's already mastered the "soft handoff."
Gee whiz.
It seems that, having sat through his share of TV timeouts, Favre's taking time out for TV.
One thing you know for sure when Favre's in the booth: even when the signal's jumbled, the ball's never fumbled.
I bet he turned down the makeup artist. "A little touch-up? No thank you... nothing but touchdowns for me."
How'd CSS stumble upon a talent like Favre? I guess they had to pluck him off the airwave-er wire...
From finger tape to videotape, the ol' Gunslinger is ready for everything.
Brett Favre is on television as a sports analyst.
It just... you know, it just hasn't been the same without the ol' Gunslinger.
