Favre rumors again?
Some members of the Minnesota sports media need to grow up.
I swear, if Brett Favre were to say, “At this time, I think the Vikings can kiss my fat rear end if they think I’m going to unretire. I’m done, I’m over, I’m kaput, I have a rifle aimed at my left foot and I’m about the pull the trigger to remove all doubt,” there are Minnesota sports “prognosticators” who would cling to “at this time” as a sign that Brett might wear purple this season, and hey, he never needed that left foot to be a Hall of Fame quarterback who at nearly 40 years old could still lead the Vikings to a SuperBowl anyway.
Or, like the old Saturday Night Live character, these sports nitwits would listen to such a rejection, only to say, “So what you’re telling me is… there’s still a chance, right?”
I mean, really, do they have any sense of shame? Whether the Vikings ship in on a perfect course or the vessel sinks due to all this Favre talk is to be determined, but it certainly can’t help matters.
Since it doesn’t appear we’re going to get any alternatives that are younger thank Favre, I say we forge ahead as planned with Sage Rosenfels, backed up by Tavaris Jackson, and hope the addition of Percy Harvin to the receiving corps helps solidify the offense.
And if it’s not, time to fire Brad Childress and bring in not only a solid QB, but a better coach, to boot. But let’s see how this coming season plays out first.
