Cool Favre ready to send Giants packing

BRETT FAVRE, who ignored critics saying he was too old and enjoyed a record-smashing season, has lifted the Green Bay Packers one victory from an unlikely trip to Superbowl XLII.

The 38-year-old quarterback will guide Green Bay against the New York Giants tomorrow night with a berth in the NFL championship game at stake. The Packers have not reached the superbowl in a decade.

“We probably surprised a lot of people, including me,” Favre said. “There is some talent on this team but there’s not a lot of experience. How we would respond to that, I had no idea. But we responded in a positive way.”
