It’s official. Brett Favre is coming back to the Vikings for his 20th NFL season.
What football fan wouldn’t want him to come back? He’s taken the normal amount of ridicule for waiting so long to make a decision but it’s the media who should be ridiculed.
Reporters and commentators everywhere are whining about how Favre put them through the “is he or isn’t he” dance again and they wish he would just go away. I may have done some whining about it myself in the past.
Favre has been accused to having an uncontrollable ego.
He doesn’t need training camp. He needs a few weeks to get ready. He knows it and his coaches know it.
You can’t really blame Favre for the media’s over the top interest in his plans. He wanted to wait until a few weeks of training camp had gone by to make a decision. He’s 41 years old. He’s probsbly increasing his team’s chances of winning by skipping those first three weeks.
How could you be a football fan and not enjoy watching him play last season?
I’m 10 times more interested in the Vikings-Saints opener now that I know he’s going to be playing in it.
The league would be a lot more exciting if it had more guys playing quarterback the way Favre plays it. If he can keep playing as well as he played last season, I don’t care if he plays until he’s 51.
