Brett Favre's Miracle Season (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1369759-Favre-and-the-Vikings-Vs-the-Packers As you might know by now, nothing new came from Favre's appearance on the Tonight Show with Leno this week. More interesting was a visit the old quarterback received from Minnesota coach Brad Childress the day before that March 4th guest spot...

But, as we see with how he's played and how this career keeps strecthing out, is it possible he could play two more seasons? Adrian Peterson thinks so...or at least that is what he'd like to see from his quarterbac...[Read Full Post] Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:02:07 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/689285 There isn't much need to crow about Favre, because the Jets current win streak and knocking off an undefeated team in the Titans speaks for itself. It has the media's full attention and even has some proclaim he's an MVP candidate once again. At this juncture, to borrow an overused NFL cliche, 'it is what it is.' As Favre gels with...[Read Full Post] Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:37:45 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/620496 The media is jumping back and forth with each new report of the 'will he or won't he' return to football dance.

Would it be irony if his old team of a year ago and new team met up in Super Bowl XXXXIV? (did I type that right?) Anyway, the Saints are the favorites on their home turf.

How does his decision factor into the similar fate of Brett Favre? There are compelling reasons to give one pause to think Favre would lean toward returning another year, while Warner would not gamble his health on another NFL season.

Some Vikings players are admitting they didn't know how dirty New Orleans was in that conference title game that may have cost them a Super Bowl bid. Defensive end Ray Edwards and now tight end Visanthe Shiancoe are admitting they were not aware of the abuse Brett Favre was taking from the Saints' defense during that ga...[Read Full Post] Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:10:37 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/687743 One big loophole in Brett Favre's contract (reworked by his new employer, the New York Jets) that could still land him in a Minnesota Vikings uni by next season...the hated rival of his former team the Green Bay Packers.

I don't buy what Thompson and the Packers are selling. And there might be half truths on both sides. But, I don't feel Favre should be treated this way. Not because of what it will do to him, but what it will do to us, the fans and this city.

I will head to the YMCA and step on that scale. I haven't weighed myself there in over a month, since I started playing basketball on a pretty regular basis. I had finally cracked 270 pound barrier (274 actually). I'm hoping that I've already dropped below that dreaded line.

The official weigh-in today at the YMCA, after two grueling hours of basketball, was 257 1/2 lbs. I stared at the scale in disbelief, wondering if I added wrong last week and should have gotten 262 instead of 272.

They protected him so well in that Oct. 5th meeting with the Packers. It's what has made Favre so good all year long.
