Well then. According to Shooter (If Charley Walters says it, it must be true), Brett Favre is calling in Dr. James Andrews to repair the ol’ gunslinger’s bicep. This of course, can only mean one of two things: Either Favre is getting ready to shoot another Wrangler Jeans commercial, or he’s preparing for a stint with the 2009 Minnesota Vikings.
As a lifelong, diehard Vikings fan (who also spent 5 years amongst insufferable Packer fans at the great University of Wisconsin – Madison), I have loathed everything green and gold, especially the Demigod of Cheese himself, for as long as I can remember being disappointed by the Vikings. So the news of Favre possibly joining the Vikings has had me stuck in Ron Burgandy’s glass case of emotion since the rumors started swirling early this month. Is he better than our QB options right now? Maybe? Are we better off with a younger QB who can still play in cold weather? Maybe? Will he alienate himself in the locker room and be a bad teammate? Maybe?
However, I have recently come to the belief that I can put aside my deep-rooted hatred towards #4 and welcome Peter King, Deanna, the Ghost of John Madden, and the rest of the Favre circus to town, if only for the purposes of completely tarnishing the Favre legacy in Green Bay and sending our Packer-loving friends into a tailspin of delicious denial and disappointment.
Your friend Donald will be in attendance when the Vikings play the Packers in Lambeau Field on November 1st, and can’t think of anything more satisfying than taking in the reaction of the Packer faithful as Favre runs out of the tunnel, wearing a purple #4 jersey. It would definitely be something to behold.
