BREAKING NEWS...we're just over 48 hours from The Biggest Game in the History of the Universe, and the K107.1 Sports Desk is reporting that Brett Favre has once again retired (and yes, crying as he did it) from the NFL and hooked up with the Harlem Globetrotters. How this affects the game on Sunday is anybody's guess.

Our Johnsonville Packer Preview took a look at that possibly Brett-less game between the Packers and Vikings, and made another tasty winner of $25 in Johnsonville brats. Pregame coverage starts at 1 with the kickoff at 3:15 this Sunday on K107.1.

At a news conference yesterday, Brett Favre said he wasn't afraid of getting a harsh welcome at Lambeau this Sunday because, "I've heard boos in that stadium before. Numerous times." Bitter much? Also this morning we take you back to the photo shoot Brett did for the rare Wrangler Daisy Dukes, which mostly appealed to truckers and guys who mow their lawn with no shirt on.

Our countdown to Packers-Vikings continues with a look back at one of Jon's favorite Brett Favre moments. This photo was taken all the way back in 1996 during a photo shoot for Brett's first Wranglers commercial.

At last, the FINAL day of Jon and Mary's wager has arrived. For four straight days, Jon has worn the Green & Gold...and for four straight days he's cried himself to sleep.
