Even as the 2010 free agency period launches, we won’t be able to get away from the guy who looms over the offseason like the fart cloud at a bean farmers convention.
At or about the time that the flood gates open at midnight on March 5, Jay Leno will be welcoming to The Tonight Show one of the few guests with more gray hair than the host.
Brett Favre.
According to an online schedule found by our pal Brooks, Favre will join Matthew McConaughey and Lifehouse on Leno’s fourth night back in late night. (We assume that at some point Favre will make a crack about his own inability to get his old job back in Green Bay.)
We’ll be watching it as part of our constant, round-the-clock coverage of the first day of the first uncapped free agency period since 1993.
