Many football fans will say they knew all along Brett Favre would return to the Minnesota Vikings after the initial phase of training camp broke, and it appears NBC Sports might have had the same hunch.

NBC is set to carry the Minnesota Vikings-San Francisco 49ers preseason game this Sunday night, expected to be Favre's first preseason action after announcing Wednesday he was returning (again) to the NFL.

And NBC will leverage the hype by airing an interview with Favre at halftime.  The chat will be conducted by NBC's six-time Emmy Award winner Al Michaels.
