Well, I'm stuck with him now. I have no choice, but to cheer for him. Maybe he has one last season of greatness.

It could happen.

Things will be interesting this year among my wife’s family. She’s a diehard Viking’s fan (along with our youngest daughter), while many of her family are cheeseheads in the worse way. The bickering began on Facebook shortly after the announcement that Favre had become a Viking. It might just create a “schism” in her family (had to use the same word the media used with regard to the few Viking’s players who are unhappy about Favre - LOL).

You guys have a good running back - last time I looked. If he continues to be good, Farve - and the Vikes - can have a great season. That was the main reason of his last great year at GB. Their RB caught on fire and was nearly unstoppable. Farve did not have to carry the team on his shoulders. QBs can only do so much. Hell, look at Elway. Once the Broncos got a grade A RB, they won two SBs. Imagine what they could have done if they had a great RB in their other SB appearances.

I’m going to sit back and watch this NFL season. I expect Brett Favre to have 28 TD passes (Terry Bradshaw’s best ever season) and chuckle as ESPN announcers describe Favre as a failure. Brett Favre, to the liberals at ESPN (they’re libs, if they were better as journalists they’d be working at Huffpo or the NYT or ABC) hate Favre because he represents your average American guy. The traditional guy, a country boy. The left hates that as an image and if today’s youth looks up to Brett Favre, the left is worried that they’ll want to emulate traditional American values.

Favre going to the Vikings is still nothing compared to Rick Pitino going to Louiville after coaching Kentucky or Nick Saban going to Alabama after coaching LSU.

I felt the exact same way when Terrell Owens became a Cowboy.

Favre was playing great for the Jets until he hurt his shoulder. The Jets were 8-3 and had just defeated the undefeated Titans. Then Favre got hurt and he and the Jets unravelled. Favre has plenty left, 2 years ago he was one of the top QB’s in the league and was within 1 game of the Superbowl. He was one of the best QB’s in the league last year until he got hurt.
