Favre a Viking?

I’ve been gone for a while now, but I should be soon returning on a regular basis. Over my absence there has been a lot that has happened. The Pens won the Stanley Cup and Kobe finally won a championship without Shaq. A lot has happened, but nothing else has caught my attention more than the prospect of Brett Favre going to the Vikings to play next season in the 2009.

When I first heard of the news, I was not surprised at all. I wrote on my previous blog when Favre officially retired that I wouldn’t be surprised to see him come back to play another down in the NFL. The question was which team he would be playing for. I knew the Vikings were interested in him last season, but I didn’t actually think the Vikings would still consider signing him. Since his surgery, it seems clearer every week that Favre will be returning to the NFL. Why else would he have gotten the surgery for? For giving his shoulder mobility when he rides his tractor. The Vikings even sent out their team trainer/doctor to see Favre. Favre in my opinion is ready to wear purple and yellow for the Vikings this upcoming season.

What does this mean? Well, it still means that the Lions will still have a harder time trying to win a game next season. Also it means that there are three teams who are really in the race for the NFC North Title with the Bears, Vikings, and Packers. The real clear cut favorite to win the title are the Vikings and then the Bears followed by the Packers. But it is a tossup with how the Bears and Packers will do next season. The Bears don’t have any receivers for Cutler to throw to and the Packers are changing to a 3-4 defense. So there are some unsure voids on both of the teams. With the arrival of Favre in Minnesota, will give the team the edge to win the title and be a Superbowl contender next season. I just thought I would never ever see Favre playing for another team in the NCF North.
