Don't act suprised. 
He wanted to do it in 2008, but the only thing stopping him was his pesky little contract. Sure, Favre looked good and the Jets were rolling when they started 8-3. Favre's precision passing set the stage for their dormant running game to come alive. However, the wheels came off and the team dropped most of their remaining games. Leading rusher Thomas Jones, who should've thanked Favre for resurrecting his career, bitterly complained about Favre to the media after the season. One of our Wetland Sports sources had the privilege of being in the room with Favre sans reporters after the hapless Seahawks beat the Jets at Qwest. In the presense of a small group of people, Favre quietly laid into his team's crappy wideouts and the fact that they weren't running to the spots they were supposed to run. Ultimately, the stench of that team wafted from coast-to-coast, resulting in the firing of head coach, Eric Mangini.
Most curiously, Brett Favre's agent Bus Cook, got the Jets to grant Favre his outright release today. Why would a guy who's supposedly retired ask for his contractual release?
The Minnesota Vikings are a perfect fit for Brett's final hurrah. That team is built for winning right away and the only thing they lack is a game manager who can move the chains. They have all-world running back Adrian Peterson in his prime, a hungry defense that snuffs opponents' running games, future Hall of Fame offensive lineman Steve Hutchinson, and an improving group of skill players on offense. And they play in a dome -- Brett doesn't even have to get dirty! The Vikings are one of the few teams in the NFL where their QB (Tavaris Jackson) is keeping their team from winning. Put Favre behind center, and the Vikings are a Superbowl contender. Without Favre, the Vikings are just another wildcard team.
This fit is too good for both sides to pass up.

Good ideas here...
ReplyDeletePart of me still thinks Favre would love to stick it to the Packers but part of me thinks he is enjoying living the "hick" life in Mississippi.
I agree with you Doubter. I wouldn't be surprised to see Favre play again. He ususally gets the itch to this time of year.
