The hype is just about over, the national media has arrived in town and so have the Green Bay Packers.

Tonight, we'll finally get to see what happens when Brett Favre faces the team he played with for 16 seasons. Chip and I -- along with several more from the Star Tribune staff -- will be there to chronicle the whole circus, er, football game.

We'll also be posting blogs throughout the day. In fact, we're headed to a luncheon being put on by ESPN and will have a few items from that event that hopefully will be of interest. Don't only check the blog but check us out on Twitter. Judd is at www.twitter.com/juddzulgad and Chip is at www.twitter.com/chipscoggins.
