Report: Brett Favre in Green Bay for Bart Starr tribute
Brett Favre will return to his old stomping grounds in Green Bay on Monday to attend a tribute for Hall of Famer Bart Starr, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The former Packers quarterback will be among those honoring Starr, who is recovering from a stroke and is unable to attend the event, Mortensen reports. The event benefits the Rawhide Boys Ranch, which was co-founded by Starr, and will take place at Brett Favre's Steakhouse.

The Packers host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, but Mortensen reports that there are no plans for Favre to attend the game.
Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder in October that he planned to attend the Packers' Nov. 9 game against the Chicago Bears, but had to reschedule the trip because of Starr's health problems.
