So ESPN peed their pants this week when the New York Jets released QB Brett Favre from the retired list. What does this mean? Well, if you've been living under a rock, it means that Favre can become a free agent and sign with whomever the hell he wants if he decides to come back...again. Of course, this has started speculation that Favre will come back and sign with the Minnesota Vikings, a move that many thought would happen last season. Viking fans, who have a distinct hatred for Tarvaris Jackson and Sage F'ing Rosenfels, have already started clamoring for the return of Brett Favre. So, I bet you're wondering what I think about this. Well...Brett...
STAY THE @#$% AWAY FROM MY GOD DAMN FOOTBALL TEAM YOU OLD, SENILE, SON OF A BITCH!!!
Already people think I'm crazy, but honestly, if you've known me since high school, you should have known this by 10th grade. Favre does not belong here. I'm not taking the "Oh, he was a Packer so he can never be a Viking" approach, but I'm saying that he wouldn't help the Vikings at all and actually make us worse.
The Favreheads would point to the fact that Favre led the Jets to a 8-3 start last season and even beat the Patriots and the undefeated Tennessee Titans. OK, how about the rest of the season. Favre, who has to much of an ego to tell anyone he's hurt, led the Jets to a 1-4 finish and they finished out of the playoffs because of it.
Favre also destroyed the locker room in New York as well. Most of the players had a distain for him by the time he left and I don't think too many Jets players wanted him back. Favre never talked to anyone and was a loner as a Jet. Favre made a fool of himself by coming back one last time and destroyed an entire franchise in the process as the Jets had to fire their coach because of this. (Actually if the Vikings coach got fired....FOCUS!)
Finally, the Viking fans are probably also saying, "So you want to go into the season with these two jokes at QB?" My answer is a resounding YES. Here's why. Sage f'ing Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson have actually put in the work all offseason to be starting quarterbacks and both are capable of doing the job we need them to do. Would I like a QB who tries to win the game rather than tries not to lose it? Hell yeah. But Favre would cost the Vikings more games than T-Jack or Sage f'ing Rosenfels would.
Also take this into consideration. Rosenfels plays just like Favre. He's pretty damn wreckless if you've seen him play. He can win games with his arm, and lose them just as quickly (see the Colts victory in October). From T-Jack's side, I wouldn't like for him to be starting, but he went through a lot last season. Jackson had a child born with a birth defect, which could distract any father from his job. Jackson also was hurt in the second preseason game and I think he came back too soon from injury (He played a lot better towards the end of the season).
Brett Favre has become the preverbial high school slut of the NFL. Hell, he may even show up to Mankato in a school girls outfit with leggings (UGH). However, Brad Childress should just say no. The Vikings do not want to contract the STD known as failure.
