Non-ROTB News: Brett Favre Joins the Minnesota Vikings

I just couldn't resist and felt the need to post this breaking news. It's been 2 offseason's in a row, and 2 different teams, and Brett Favre is now possibly officially a Minnesota Viking. The news broke earlier today by Chris Mortenson, that Favre was going to sign with the Vikings, pending a physical. Apparently, that's all taken care of and he's already practicing with the team. Favre took the media on this roller coaster ride last year, announcing his retirement, then requesting to be traded. After an up, then down year with the New York Jets last year, he retired, again, this off season. Things started to spark up with talks of Favre coming out of retirement to join the Minnesota Vikings, who were in need of a quarterback. Three weeks ago, many of us thought the end was near and the Favre hoopla was over. Today things came right back into swing and Brett Favre is the newest starting quarterback for the Vikings. Over at the Daily Norsemen, they've declared it as Favrestock 2009!, and have done a pretty good job covering any breaking news, to new Favre jerseys, to Favre already being on the practice field, and that Favre will likely be in action this Friday. So although this isn't Cardinal related, (other then what Pyromnc pointed out about the Cardinals wanting revenge on that embarrassing loss to the Vikings last year, and the 6 TD performance of Brett against us), what does everybody think? I'd say this stirs up a lot of media hype for the next couple weeks, and a lot of Brett Favre highlights on NFL Network.

Depends on his results this year, I'm sure...

He signed a 2 year deal, but no one expects him back next year.
If he takes the Vikings to the promised land (and HELL freezes over) he will retire.

It’s a great story for the NFL this year any way you look at it.

SKOL VIKINGS!

I believe the 'push off' cost us 'our' SuperBowl...
I believe you 'go for the win'... instead of 'taking a knee'...

Vikings, Packers, and Bears are really going to beat up on each other

Makes me really happy to have Bernard Berrian on my primary fantasy team though. :-P

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

Good Lord

Living in the Twin Cities, I’ve avoided all local TV and radio.

It’s the first passionate response from this town in a while.

I’ve spent a lot of time in sports bars here (no DTV sadly) and “Vikings” fans seem to be more interested in watching the Packers, Bears, and Lions lose then the Vikings for any reason.

It’s sad and it makes the true and honest fans of the team look bad by association.

Let’s hope that one overrated and aged star can change all that.

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2009 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill aims a pass downfield against the San Diego Chargers during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in San Diego. Hill earned the starting job for the 2009 season by beating out Alex Smith, who missed last season after re-injuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary largely chose Hill based on his play down the stretch last year: he went 5-3 over the final eight games and he also owns a 5-0 record at home in Candlestick Park.
