So, naturally, people have asked me what I've thought about the possibility that Brett Favre could become our quarterback this year.
Until now, it's been pure speculation. But today, it becomes reality.
So, I guess I have to go on record with my opinion. And it pains me to say this...I'm in support.
I'm ready to make a deal with the Devil from Hattiesburg. I'm ready to focus on the appreciation I've always had in Favre's abilities, and (temporarily, at least) ignore the green-and-gold beneath the now-purple veneer. If this is the final piece of the puzzle that gets us to a Super Bowl while we still have Adrian Peterson and the Williams Wall and Jared Allen and (yes) Visanthe Shiancoe [he'll be big this year -- mark my words], then I will support him.
And, listen Viking fans, this at least proves that our owner and coaches are willing to do things to Win! We Viking fans are almost exclusively Twins fans, and Timberwolves fans, and those franchises don't seem willing to do what it takes (including spending money) to win.
Now, will we get to the Super Bowl? Who knows. But we're doing what we can to try. Could we have done it with Sage Rosefels under center? Maybe. [In fact, I bet we'll have to use Sage at some point. Mr. Favre is experienced, but that experience comes with its associated age-related side-effects.]
So there, I've said it. We just hired a prima donna. It's a one-year thing. (OK, it could be two, but do we really think so?) Tarvaris Jackson was on his way out. We need to develop Booty or draft someone as the Future anyway.
Oh, for you readers who don't follow the NFL -- well, sorry. This means nothing to you. Go read something old about quotes, or a small sermon, or something.
