Get used to seeing Brett Favre in purple.

He’s comin’ back.

Maybe. Probably.

Was there really any doubt?

As soon as the New York Jets jettisoned the gunslinger, it was almost a forgone conclusion that Favre would get the itch to return.

He can’t stay away. He just can’t. He has the Larry Holmes disease. He has the George Foreman malady. He has the Michael Jordan flu.

My only hope is Favre, who will talk to the Minnesota Vikings Wednesday— presumably in a conference call from his tractor in Mississippi — will sign quickly so we don’t have another summer of Favre Watch.

We can only hope.

I’m glad he’s coming back. And I look forward to his third retirement in February and his subsequent third comeback in the fall of 2010.

I think it's Favretacular. Favriffic. Favrtastic.

It never gets old, just like Brett Favre.
