Favre will be back. - 01/20/08 10:43 PM
Wow, what a game we had in Green Bay today...
I was pulling for the Pack (as an Eagles fan I hate the Giants). But, I must say, Favre will be back next year. There is no way that he will leave his career in the hands of an interception.

Gotta love multiple offers for close to asking price. Have a listing I just put on the market in December, just started showing January 2nd, and there are 2 offers in on it we're negotiating. I think things are heating up here in Philly. It's all about pricing the home correctly though.
