Green Bay mayor asks fans to help welcome Favre

Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field in Green Bay Nov. 1, and the city’s mayor has asked Packers fans how to mark the quarterback’s dubious homecoming with the archrival Minnesota Vikings.

On the city’s Web site, Mayor Jim Schmitt is asking fans to send ideas for “respectfully” welcoming Favre back. Schmitt says he’ll use the ideas “to create a list of the Mayor’s Top 4 things” he can do to “tastefully” welcome Favre. The site says one early suggestion is to create the world’s largest No. 4 waffle, a playful jab at Favre’s indecisive approach to retirement.
