Favre to Vikings?

"There is no way I will ever come back again," Brett Favre said in an interview on Feb. 13 2009.

Summer time means Favre drama.

The latest report by ESPN states that later this week Brett Favre will meet privately with the Vikings head coach Brad Childress to discuss the possibility of Brett playing for Minnesota in the 2009 season. The two will most likely decide how much participation with be required of Favre in the mini-camps, the status of his hurting throwing arm, how much longer Favre will play in the NFL, and the Brett's motives for returning for another fair well campaign.

Depressed. Angry. Skeptical.

I hate the Vikings and have for years. They are my least favorite team in sports. Forget the Bears, Cowboys, Yankees, and Cubs dynasties I hate the Vikings far worse. Randy Moss once mooned the Packer fans in a playoff game at Lambeau Field. Darren Sharper and Ryan Longwell both play for the hated Vikings. Now Favre going to Minnesota? I am sick.

For some one as loved as Favre he may now go down as the one of the most hated Packers of all time. He certainly will be helping his stats if he goes to Minnesota but apparently loyalty and honestly are not as important to Favre as to me.

Yet, on the flip side I look at the Minnesota team and they will be incredible with Favre and Peterson in the backfield. Plus Favre knows the whole division. Plus the NFC is weak and his chance to going to the Super Bowl is high. In addition, Favre has never had the best running back in league or even close and now he could have that in Peterson. He will also be playing in a dome so the bad weather will not be as big of a factor. Also Vikings have no super bowls victories. Favre could be a huge icon and idol in Minnesota and Wisconsin, only it may take a few years until Wisconsin takes him back.

Overall I do not have much respect for him as a person for his lack of honesty, but I understand he loves football, he wants revenge on the Packers organization, and he wants to win another Super Bowl.
