Brett Favre is returning to football -- as an assistant high school coach in Mississippi. His agent, Bus Cook, told The Associated Press Friday that Favre will work at Oak Grove High School this fall "to help out in some capacity, but Im not sure exactly what his role will be." The school is near the former NFL quarterbacks home in Hattiesburg, Miss. The Biloxi (Miss.) Sun-Herald reported that Favre, 42, is expected to be the offensive co-ordinator. Oak Grove head coach Nevil Barr told the AP he has talked about a possible role for Favre on the coaching staff, though a job title hasnt been defined. Favre has helped at Oak Grove in an unofficial capacity in previous years. The three-time league MVP retired from the NFL in 2010. Favre, who grew up in nearby Kiln, Miss., has kept a low profile in Hattiesburg since he retired. He rarely does interviews, though he is occasionally seen at Southern Mississippis football or baseball games. Favre played in college at Southern Miss, where he also made his debut as a television analyst. Hes remained coy about future plans, but has often said how much he enjoys working with kids. Oak Grove is a perennial power at the 6A level in Mississippi, which is the states largest high school classification. Favre played for 20 years in the NFL -- mostly for the Green Bay Packers. He also played for the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings. He is the leagues all-time leader with 71,838 passing yards and 508 touchdowns and won a Super Bowl in 1996 with the Packers. Wholesale NHL Jerseys .

Bargnani scored 20 points and the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks 107-88 in pre-season action Friday night before a sold-out Bell Centre crowd. Bargnani, who was limited to 31 games last season because of calf strains, was back in the Raptors starting lineup after he was hurt his left calf once again Wednesday. He suffered a bruised calf and left in the third quarter of Torontos 104-101 win over Washington. "Last game that was really just a hit, a hard hit on the calf, so we just decided it wasnt worth it to keep playing limping," Bargnani said. "So I took some therapy but its nothing like last year." Toronto won its third in a row to improve to 4-1, while dealing New York its first loss in three exhibition games in front of a lively crowd of 22,144. "I want to say one thing about the fans here, I dont know if we can bottle it up and take it back to Toronto but they were exciting fans, great fans, packed house, guys on the sideline were yelling at the referees and getting on them, and it felt like we were in an NBA city," Raptors coach Dwayne Casey said. "A great arena, great building, hot building, and it was good for our guys to give them a hard-fought game." The Raptors outscored New York 30-20 in the third quarter and went up by 12 after Jose Calderon scored on a layup off a turnover 2:27 into the fourth to make it 84-72. Kyle Lowry finished with 17 points for Toronto and Amir Johnson contributed 14. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 24 points. Amare Stoudamire had 18 points in his pre-season debut after missing New YYorks first two games because of pain in his left knee.dddddddddddd "It felt great to be back out there, and get back in the swing of things," Stoudamire said. "It was a great feeling." Landry Fields faced New York for the first time since signing a three-year, US$18.7-million offer sheet with the Raptors in July, which the Knicks declined to match. "There are some things we can clean up, and we will, defensively and offensively, and thats what the pre-season is for," Fields said. Lowry hit a three-point shot at the buzzer to draw the Raptors even at 46-46 at half-time. Toronto scored 16 points off the fast break compared to just two by New York. "We just didnt get into a transition offence, and thats something that we can do easily," Stoudamire said. New York led 26-20 after the first quarter as Toronto got off to yet another slow start. Stoudamires slam dunk gave the Knicks a 10-point lead at 38-28 in the second. Lowry responded with a three-pointer to begin a nine-point Raptors run. "I dont know what it is, we probably start playing in the second and third quarter," Casey said. "Weve got to get these kinks out in exhibition. I thought our fight started after the first quarter, is when we decided to compete, and that is what this is all about. The NBA is about competitors." Lowry made his second start after missing the Raptors first three pre-season games because of a strained adductor muscle in his left leg. Lithuanian rookie Jonas Valanciunas started for Toronto but took a seat on the bench 3:13 in after drawing a pair of early fouls. He finished with four points and 10 rebounds. ' ' '
