He’s back!!!! Just when you thought it was safe to quit talking about him, Brett Favre is back in the NFL with the Vikings. A month ago I posted a Lexy saying who are we to tell a player when he’s done? If he wants to keep playing and is healthy enough to do so, he should. Sports careers are short, even Favre’s.
For everyone who’s jumping down his throat for wavering back and forth over retirement, remember this. There’s obviously a market for him. Last year the Jets desperately wanted him. This year it’s the Vikings. Favre wouldn’t be coming back if the Vikings didn’t keep telling him they wanted him.
It’s obvious that Vikings coach Brad Childress and the Vikings ownership believe Favre is a far better option than what they had in camp. I agree. And this is a team that has Super Bowl potential, but a very big question mark at quarterback. Favre’s signing doesn’t make the question mark disappear, but NFL coaches are much more comfortable with quarterbacks who they know and have seen go through battle in the league.
Favre is still a championship caliber QB when surrounded by a championship caliber team. He gets that in Minnesota. That still doesn’t mean I can’t laugh when I see T-shirts being printed in Green Bay that say “ We’ll always remember you, Brent”.
