Report: Favre Signs With Vikings
Three weeks ago, NFL Drama Queen Brett Favre told everyone in the national media and the Minnesota Vikings that he was going to stay retired. Finally, most people thought, this man would go away and let Sage Rosenfels and Tavaris Jackson duke it out for the starting quarterback spot. Well, like an STD, Brett Favre is back and expected to sign with the Vikings.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen has reported that the contract is worth between $10-12 million dollars for a one year. Now, two years away from telling all Packer Nation Favre would never leave them, the all time leader in passing yards, touchdowns and interceptions will be playing the Lambeau faithful twice a year. To some this may be a shocker, but to me, I saw it happening all along.
Favre is like an old hooker who no longer gets any attention on the corner and after underperforming for a few nights finally decides to call it quits. But after she realizes she has no other skills, she comes back and starts fast. Its not about how you start though, its how you finish and after charging the man too much, who would get fired from his job weeks later, she decides she will go back home and hang out with high school kids. Once again, that wasn’t enough fun and she has to come back to the streets and starts working for the Purple Pimp, the rival of the pimp she had been working for all along. She always had been known as a work horse, but now everyone hated her for her actions. What a tragedy!
That basically explains Brett Favre in a nutshell, throwing 5 more interceptions than the Minnesota QB’s last season and only having a passing rating 0.5 higher, it will be entertaining to see what Favre can do in Minnesota. With many weapons on offense including the best back in the league, Adrian Peterson, the task at hand should be much easier on Favre, whose AARP card just got recalled last night. Containing speed on the ends in Bernard Berrian and Percy Harvin and a go-getter tight end in Visanthe Shiancoe, this Viking offense should roll in an NFC North that is battered with bad defense, QB drama and well, the Lions. Look for another 10 win season and quite possibly a trip to the Super Bowl on the horizon for Minnesota, but with Favre, anything can happen, so don’t put all your eggs in one basket just yet Viking fans. As a good pimp once told me, “With prostitutes, you don’t know what you’ll get. You can smack em up for leaving, but they keep coming back. Just hope for the best.” That’s what Viking fans should do this season, as Favre, who is coming off shoulder surgery will be their starting quarterback on a team with all the tools for making a run.
