"TONIGHT ON BFPN, IT'S BRETT FAVRE and some guys in purple against the Washington Generals on BFPN MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!. FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT HOW BRETT FAVRE IS MAKING THE TRANSITION, LET'S SPEND AN HOUR WITH FAVRE'S WIFE!"

(cue tinkling piano)

Mrs Favre: This off-season has been soooooo hard on Brett, not knowing whether he might play this year or with whom. He's been in mourning ever since one of his hunting dogs died. He was really taken aback by that.

Gruden: I think that was a fumble back there.

Mrs Favre: And then Mr. Childers came down and he was just like family to us and he said it was no big deal if Brett missed all of training camp, that was just so comforting.

Gruden: Uh, guys. There's a football game on.

Mrs. Favre: I'm just so greatful for all the love and attention shown by BFPN what with the round-the-clock coverage of Brett's eating and sleeping and what not. As a wife, it's always important to know what your husband is doing when he's away.

Gruden: It looks like they're bringing out an ambulance.

Mrs. Favre: I know Brett is just so thankful for all his fans and the support they showed as Brett came out of retirement for the eighth time and we just know the Lord will take care of us even at less than $20 million dollars a year. (sniff) We- we'll get by somehow.

Gruden: They brought a priest out there now. Are they giving him last rites?

Mrs. Favre: We look forward to another football season in Green Bay...or at least close to it. I'm not sure why all these folks are wearing purple...
