Title:
Favre's Last Second Miracle
Where do you begin but at the ending of yesterday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Favre was brilliant and showed he still has that old magic...

The doubters better become believers after that victory snatched from defeated jaws. Favre did have three drives to finish that game on Sunday. But the last three and out by the 9ers with the depletion of the Vikings timeouts left the old master 89 seconds to glory. Tossing a pass to a player he likely doesn't know and may have never spoken two words to shows how anything can plug into the formula with this guy.
It's all about the mojo. This is what the Packers cannot replace with Aaron Rodgers. Favre makes things happen out on that field that his heir in Green Bay has yet to show he possesses.
Throw away the crutches, tear off the bandages and hand him the ball. Then watch him zing a 50-yard rope unlike any hail Mary into the back of the end zone knowing a 300-pound lineman is about to munch up his backside. And just as incredible was Greg Lewis' toe dance while stretching behind a defender to snare that dart, managing to retain that reception as he falls down.
I have never been a Vikings fan. But, watching that highlight and views of the crowd reaction inside that dome made me envious. It made me hate Ted Thompson even more for taking away this one who loves the game so dearly, putting smiles on millions of faces. Evil, Ted Thompson. Pure evil to disown our fortunate son and allow him to suit up in that gaudy uniform and horns to become the enemy. And were supposed to hate him now?
If there is any bad Kharma, voodoo, black magic, it's in his traveling case. Don't look him directly in the eye or shake a stick at the man, because he'll bite ya. He'll get you back. And, you're coming to his new digs next Monday night. If ever their was a preview for a much anticipated match-up, ESPN is going to reap huge ratings benefits. Any schism that could exist will widen between Favre fanatics and Packer fans who once shared a tailgate together.
It seemed ironic, nostalgic that ESPN touted him 'Magic Man' on their web pages minutes after the miraculous comeback win. It was 1992 when he replaced Packer's Majik man Donald Vincent Majkowski and never looked back on his way to breaking all conceivable passing records.
What goes around comes around. The old man is not done yet. Mr. Thompson better kept a bag packed with one eye on the exit, because this season could be a career ender for at least two people who wronged our displaced saviour.
All hail Lord Favre. You know what I'm talking about profootballtalk lemmings.
