Picture-perfect Green Bay homecoming for Texans' Max Scharping

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Paul Scharping's favorite picture was taken 20 years ago just before his son, Max Scharping, turned 3. There was little Max, outfitted in a Brett Favre No. 4 Green Bay Packers jersey, walking hand in hand with Paul toward Lambeau Field for the first-ever Family Night practice in 1999.

Paul might have a new favorite photo now.

In this one, there's big Max in the middle, with his left arm around his dad and his right arm around his mom, Jackie, after Monday's practice across from Lambeau Field.

Perhaps the only thing better would have been if they all would have been wearing green and gold, but Paul admitted that he never allowed himself to think that his hometown team would draft his son.
