Favre should never wear purple and gold!
As it turns out, Brett Favre doesn’t want to retire after all; he just doesn’t want to be a Packer anymore. Rather than checking out his Medicare advantage, Favre wants to have at least one more go at it with a team that’s on QB away from a Super Bowl ring.
Some folks, down on T-Jack, say Minnesota is the team that best fits that description. But as a long-time Viking fan, I say no way. Minnesotans have spent too long hating Favre to ever welcome him to the purple and gold locker room. It’s just too much to ask.
Also, there’s the fact that Favre isn’t the 28-year-old world-beater he once was; he’s nearly out of his thirties and had a couple really bad years before bouncing back last season to have, well, a season that didn’t quite stink.
Even though the Pack was one drive away from a Super Bowl, it wasn’t because Favre had an awesome year, particularly. It’s that he had a year in which he wasn’t losing games for them, like he had the past couple years.
The odds of Favre being effective with a new team on a one-year contract are slim and none. And Slim, this is None saying keep Brett Favre out of Winter Park!
