Brett Favre’s Signing With Vikings is GREAT for the NFL!



Brett Favre is officially a Minnesota Viking!  Praise be to Lombardi!
If you thought Michael Vick’s return to the NFL was a big deal, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
First and foremost, this is GREAT for the NFL.  Brett Favre is an elite, future Hall of Fame quarterback in a league lacking great field generals outside of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Even for a Cowboys fan like me, Minnesota Vikings games are suddenly must-see-TV.  Mark your calendar: Opening Day September 13th, the Brett Favre show debuts in Cleveland to face the Browns.  Then the two biggest non-Cowboys games of the season are Monday night October 5th as the Green Bay Packers travel to Minnesota to face his Favreness, then the Big One, Sunday November 1st when Favre returns to hallowed Lambeau Field and tries to stick it to Packers General Manager Ted Thompson and Head Coach Mike McCarthy, the men who ran him out of town over a year ago.
The NFL drama will be so intense, the late, great voice of NFL Films, John Facenda, may just rise from the dead.
And to those of you who say Brett Favre is tarnishing his legacy by his flip flopping and playing for teams other than the Green Bay Packers?  Grow up.
How tarnished is Emmitt Smith’s legacy after going to play for the Arizona Cardinals?  How tarnished is Joe Montana’s legacy after going to play for the Kansas City Chiefs.
In fact, if Brett Favre leads the Vikings to the Super Bowl, his legacy suddenly becomes GODLIKE!!!
So sit back and enjoy, football fans.  Christmas has come early.  And Santa is wearing a purple number four jersey.

    Chris Duel, I totally agree with your article. How many quarterbacks can stay as injury free as Brett Favre? He is protected by his offense lines. Troy Aikman would have been playing longer if his offense lines had been as protective. Brett Favre seems to be able to pass the football to the team he is given by the Coach and owner and that says a lot about him.

    you spent way to much time in California. i think the sun baked your trojan head. Farve is a clown trying to come back. If he didnt save enough money when he was good why should people have to pay to watch a used up guy. We pay for the elite talent

    Entertaining and insightful as always! Favre keeps prolonging his inevitable career as an Eddie Bauer catalog model.

    Why can’t Farve just stay away? He’s offically become the Ric Flair of the NFL…. “Woooooo!”

    Sorry, Chris.

    The Bears will eat Mr. Favre for lunch this year. Brett is too old and creaky even if he was a former boy friend of Mary from Miami.
