What the Favre?

As of yesterday, it's official. Brett Favre is not only back in the NFL, but he'll be playing for his long-time rivals the Minnesota Vikings. People in Minnesota are so happy that they are making out with strangers on the streets. People in Wisconsin are so mad they could punch a baby (not literally - don't send me any angry e-mails).  I don't agree with the cheeseheads who find this to be sacrilege, but I'm not happy about it. I've never been much of a Packers fan, but like a lot of people I was a Brett Favre fan. It was hard to not be. I mean come on, he was/is the gunslinger. The NFL's all time leader in touchdown passes, yards and of course, interceptions.  This is messed up. I think this is worse than when Michael Jordan came out of retirement to play for the Washington Wizards. To see Brett Favre come out of the visiting locker room at Lambeau Field in Vikings purple would be like seeing Kurt Cobain playing for Pearl Jam. At least we won't have to worry about the latter happening.

  1. Farve now has the opportunity to build on his interception record. Just wait, the Vikes will have 3rd and 12 to make the playoffs and Farve will throw his 17th pick of the season. The Vikes mascot of an empty Lombardi trophy case will not be in jeopardy this year. He's no Dan Marino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Dan Marino never won a super bowl and pretty sure that Favre owns Dan Marino as far as stats go...the only one Dan still has is the single season yards. Go Bret...Play on Playa

  3. Maybe the vikings could get Marino to come out of retirement to be Favre's backup.

  4. Farve is no Marino. Farve could never have set a goal to lose 20 pounds and end up smashing that goal with a grand total of 22 pounds lost on Nutrisystem. Farve would have quit, and then tried again, and then quit, and try again, and then quit, and then try again. Marino is THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
