Brett Favre Scandal After Retirement Yrs

The Viking Has Landed

The whirlwind blew into Minnesota and has already gusted out to the practice field. Seems this Favre to the Vikings deal was done behind closed doors some time ago and likely sandbagged the media until the quarterback was ready to take the reins.

So much is happening so quickly, but it looks like Favre will suit up for a preseason game this Friday...

And a bit of humor from the PFT crew and the conspiracy theory surrounding that surgically repaired arm that was supposed to have kept Favre from considering another NFL season is now his bail out plan should he not shine like expected with the purple gang...

Whatever the outcome this season, it all hangs on how he performs in those two games against his old team. I think he could play as poorly as he did in the final days with the Jets and get away with it, should he perform well and come away with W's against the Pack. Time will give perspective.

Sits back to watch...

...oh, and when does the media start the John Maddon un-retirement watch?
