Brett Favre Reinstated, Says Brett Favre

A familiar face will be flying into Green Bay tonight. Care to make a guess? Oh, alright, I'll tell you. It's Aaron Rodgers's favorite person in the whole world, a fella by the name of Favvrreee. Roger Goodell apparently got antsy and couldn't wait until Monday to make a decision; according to ESPN's Ed Werder, the commish re-instated the 38 year-old "gunslinger" today.

The Packers couldn't confirm the reinstatement, and said because it wasn't an offical business day for the league it wasn't possible Sunday.

Nevertheless, Favre was prepared Sunday to fly to Green Bay. ESPN's Wendi Nix reported from Green Bay that Favre's plane was scheduled to touch down at 6:30 ET, though he didn't plan to attend the sold-out Packers Family Night at Lambeau Field, which more than 60,000 fans were expected to attend.

The Packers are expected to make their move - whatever that may be - sometime tomorrow. Stay tuned, I guess.
