Joe Buck’s HBO program is set to debut at 8 p.m. today and he has lined up Brett Favre as his top guest. Buck and Favre are scheduled to have a live conversation in what is being billed as the supposedly retired quarterback’s first television interview since reports several weeks ago that the former Green Bay standout might join the Minnesota Vikings."Joe Buck Live’’ mixes sports and comedy. The theme of tonight’s show is how athletes’ personal lives now have become fodder for tabloid treatment in recent years. "I called him in early April and locked him in, way before the Minnesota stuff popped up, ’’ Buck said Sunday night. "Thought he would be the perfect guy to talk about celebrity and life as a Packer legend in a small town like Green Bay. Now the timing makes him the most relevant guest we could have this side of (Iranian president Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad.’’Buck said Favre will be in the studio and didn’t balk about this commitment after the Minnesota saga began unfolding
