GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Green Bay fans are coming up with plenty of ways for the city to mark the dubious homecoming of Packers here turned Vikings villain Brett Favre.

Since posting a link on the city's Web site soliciting ideas to ``tastefully'' welcome Favre back for Sunday's game at Lambeau Field, the office of Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt has received about 1,600 e-mails, according to communications director Andre Jacque.

Among the fans' suggestions was holding a ceremony to retire the Packers' No. 4 jersey in honor of former Packers quarterback Chuck Fusina, who threw 32 passes in seven games for Green Bay in 1986 - or scheduling a ceremony to retire No. 4 for Favre and calling it off at the last minute.

The mayor will announce the top four welcome-back ideas later this week.
