In a not-so-shocking development this morning, Brett Favre will be signing with the Vikings by days end. It isn't official yet since it's pending a physical but that will go through. I'm not going to get into speculating about how long this agreement has been in place or who exactly knew about it but this cannot really be a surprise to anyone.
We are now, without a doubt, the NFC favorites in 2009. The media storm will be unlike anything our players have seen before and it is going to be quite the test to see how they react.

Signing Farve is an attempt to get the State of Minnesota to cough up $750 million for a new stadium for Ziggy and to save Brad Childress's job- i.e. both belive a super bowl appearance or victory is needed for either (stadium or job) to happen (at least it appears that they finally see that T. Jackson was not the answer).
ReplyDeleteMy prediction - Farve has a meltdown after a 6-2 start, the Vikings back into the playoffs but suffer a one-sided loss the first playoff game, Farve decides to retire one more time, and Ziggy announces a move to Los Angles after the 50th anniversary of the Vikings in Minnesota (announcement will occur before January of 2011).
