Brett Favre Video: Watch Former NFL Legend's First Stint in Broadcast Booth

Brett Favre was directly involved with a football game for the first time since December 20, 2010.

He did not put on the pads and he was not hinting about coming out of retirement, but he was certainly talking football.

Favre worked the first televised college football game of his career out of the broadcast booth, joining Mike Morgan to call a Southern Mississippi vs. Rice game in Favre’s town of Hattiesburg, Miss..

The Golden Eagles alumni decided to make this Conference USA matchup his first in the broadcast booth with CSS-Sports.

This was a great game for the future Hall of Famer to get his feet wet with because he can provide a lot of unique angles and takes it on as a former QB for Southern Miss.

No. 4 looked a little shaky in the booth at first but did know what he was talking about. He spoke of the incumbent four-year starter, Austin Davis, and how he is breaking many of the records Favre set during his time there from 1987 to 1990.

While we do not have a full recording of his performance on Saturday, The Hattiesburg American has a great review of Favre’s calls during the game.

“Favre, who played at USM in 1987-90, sounded a bit nervous at the beginning of the telecast, but he loosened up as the game went on.

"He threw in a few football terms, like “smash route,” and pointed out errors by the defensive secondary as only a quarterback could.”

Favre is still highly coveted as an analyst even after his stock sunk a bit following the Jenn Sterger scandal and waffling comeback talk over the last few years that made him an annoyance in the minds of many fans.

“I'm not committing to a new career in broadcasting, but just wanted to support Southern Miss and check out the view from the press box,” he said in a press release.

As we have learned, however, you never know if Favre means what he says. I could definitely see him as an full-time analyst within a few years.
