Brett Favre will join NFL Network’s 8.5-hour edition of NFL GameDay Morning on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. live from the Superdome in New Orleans to kickoff the network’s coverage of Super Bowl XLVII.
Favre will join host Rich Eisen along with his former coach Steve Mariucci, and Super Bowl champions Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Warren Sapp, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders and Brian Billick to discuss his thoughts on the 2012 NFL season, the Super Bowl XLVII matchup, and his life away from the field.
In 1997, Favre led the Green Bay Packers to a 35-21 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI in game played at the Superdome.
Favre’s appearance on NFL GameDay Morning is part of NFL Network’s more than 140 total hours from 11 sets across New Orleans featuring a roster of 35 on-air personalities with a combined 17 Super Bowl rings. Super Bowl XLVII is the 10th Super Bowl NFL Network has covered since the network was started in 2003.
“There aren’t too many retired athletes who continue to attract the attention and draw that Brett Favre does, and NFL Network is thrilled to have him on NFL GameDay Morning leading up to Super Bowl XLVII,” said Eric Weinberger, Executive Producer of NFL Network.
