Brett Favre a Viking?
Filed under: Vikings
The good sports journalists of either AP or ESPN or some combination thereof have shaken the bushes, and coach Brad Childress has made some enigmatic comments:

As a Vikings fan... I really don't know what to think. Question #1 is - how good are the chances *really* that the Packers would let Favre go to an NFC North rival team? Question #2 is - do I really want Brett Favre on my team? The guy that's been hated by Vikings fans for so long... we would be asked to cheer for him? I'm not so sure either of those things is going to happen too easily.

I would have no problems whatsoever with cheering for Brett Favre. He is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

This sounds like a damned if you do / damned if you don't scenario. No matter the outcome (of a potential Favre tenure in purple) Packer fans will still have gloating rights:
1. "Ha-ha! You losers couldn't get to a Super Bowl with our Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Vikings suck!"
2. "Ha-ha! The only way you losers could get to a Super Bowl is by poaching our quarterback. Vikings suck!"
Best to not get him at all and go win a Super Bowl with our players. :)

There's little doubt, for the ensuing season, that Favre would be a stronger contributor to the Purple than T. Jackson. However, based on all reports on Tarvaris, dude has been working his ass off. Favre? Well, he had been reminding me of, and has now surpassed Roger Clemens in handcuffing his team (or former team) in the offseason. Had this been this first, or perhaps even second go-round of Favre's indecision, I've got no beef- people change their minds all the time. But Favre has been pimping this routine for so many offseasons, that it's become a laughable back-and-forth that, in the end, makes him look like a disorganized narcissist. Brett Favre is a legend that should be respected and honored for his on-field accomplishments, whatever the color of his jersey. Off the field, it's time to go away before this ordeal moves from Green and Yellow, to just plain yellow gossip and conjecture.
