The Pro Football Hall of Fame unveiled its list of 25 semifinalists for selection to be inducted in 2016.
It seems as if it's just a formality for Brett Favre to be among them, but the Hall formalized the next step by naming him a semifinalist for the honor on Tuesday.
He joins Kevin Greene, a linebacker in his playing days who was an assistant coach with the Packers in their 2010 Super Bowl championship season.
