With his career on the football field over (supposedly), former Packers quarterback Brett Favre is embarking on the “money for nothing” portion of this career.

Per Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal, Favre recently has shot two new national commercials that will soon begin to air.  Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, disclosed generally the fact that Favre has added these two sponsors, but Cook wouldn’t identify the companies.

Cook also tells Mullen that he has received multiple inquiries from most of the major networks about a broadcasting gig for Favre.  And though we think Favre would be a natural, we wonder what his role would be.

We can’t see him participating in a studio show, if for no reason other than the only time he’ll ever wear a tie is when he’s laying in a casket.  Then again, ESPN has allowed Bobby Knight to sit at the big desk sans necktie.  (Then again, there might also be a producer at ESPN who currently is having a little trouble sitting down with a tie wedged in his rectal cavity.)

Our guess is that Favre would end up in the booth, doing color commentary.  Unlike Joe Montana, who was awful during his time in television, we think that Favre will be able to set aside his own experiences in the league and talk about what’s happening on the field.
