And it Happened!

OK, so it has been quite a while since I last posted. So long...that the last entry mentioned how Favre was not coming and had a "fixed" picture of him in a Vikings uniform. This picture is the real deal and I must say...it still looks strange, but the whole idea of Favre as a Viking is growing on me...each additional win helps the shock become less. I like the fact that he is not a gunslinger anymore and more of a field general, making sure he makes smart plays and lets the play makers do their thing. Let's hope that the wins keep coming, the defensive line gets better against the run, and Favre stays healthy.

What Could Have Been!

So for now, the Favre saga is over. Looks good in purple, doesn't he? Though I am still indifferent as to his not signing, I do think he would have had a great year with the Vikings. He would not have to throw all the time, or even deep. The line could have kept him off the turf better than the Jets did. But he gave pretty good reasons for not coming back. If you hurt that much before the season starts....it is going to be a long season! Who knows...when TJack stinks up the Dome again or Rosenfels gets injured...maybe this photo will become reality. Personally...I think the equipment manager has a jersey on standby!

Much in the News

A lot has happened since I was last able to post here. We continue the Favre saga which looks more and more like a signing soon. It should be exciting! The father of a friend of my son's is a huge Packer fan and he can't believe it. I asked him what he would think if Favre helped us to the Super Bowl and a win and he just shook his head. Then there is Percy Harvin! A great looking player who can't seem to stay healthy...and not injuries, he just keeps getting sick. Wasn't it Robert Smith who once got a childhood disease that shortened his season? I am very much looking forward to this season...it should be a great one!

Percy Harvin

Just wanted to say that I am real excited about this guy! I am sure the "off-field issues" thing can be taken care of. I keep hearing that he is having great workouts and the Vikes are even talking about using a Wildcat style offense a little bit. Honestly, I find that hard to believe since that would mean Childress would have to use his imagination...something we all know he does NOT possess. It would be real exciting to see Sage, Peterson, and Harvin light up the NFC North! I think this could open up this offense and even get more production out of Berrian and Rice.

Moving On....

Could this actually be the end of the Favre saga? Or will this just act as the intermission before the next act of the play? I still remain on the fence about having Favre in purple, but I would not necessarily have cried if he was. I just want to see the news in the NFL go to something else!

Answer Soon?

Brad Childress plans to meet with Favre at the end of this week, supposedly to discuss playing with the Vikings. I agree with the people who say this is a good idea. Sit down with him, get his perspective on the whole thing so we can put this thing to rest. The rest of the NFL does not want to continue to hear about Favre...it is becoming an annual nightmare! I also heard the Vikes would make him attend off season workouts...something he doesn't like. But I think he needs to and it would show good faith on his part.

OK, so what is the consensus? Do we go after Favre or not? I am on the fence this year. Not sure if it is worth it. Fill out the poll and share your thoughts.
