Brett Favre is one of the greatest football players of all time, and certainly one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the league. All this despite the fact he can't even spell his last name correctly. He owns every major record and hasn't missed a game in twenty NFL seasons. That is amazing. He has had an amazing career.
This year he was undecided whether he would play or not, and his teammates decided to send an envoy down to his farm to get him to come back for one more year. It worked, and Brett Favre is a Minnesota Viking once more. Isn't that heartwarming?
The good news is that Brett Favre will not have his top two receivers. One broke his leg, one has chronic migraines, and the Vikings are now scrambling to bring in a whole crew of also-rans. I am very happy about this. I am typing away with a joyful heart. I am not happy that these men are injured, that is too bad, but I am happy they are not playing. Well... maybe I am a little happy about it.
Favre is one of the few players that is so great that you have to admire him even when he is playing against your favorite team. Being a Bears fan, he has ruined countless Sundays for me. But now Favre will get to enjoy playing with about half the talent around him and an ankle that doesn't allow him to move around like he used to. I am pretty sure it's all the waffling back and forth about retiring that has brought down the football gods wrath. I can't wait to see Old Man Wrangler get beat around the field this year.
So screw you Brett Favre, and screw you Minnesota Vikings. Screw the Packers too while we are at it.
Remember son, sports hatred is not only acceptable, it's expected.
