Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings

[jdlea]

This has gotten ridiculous. I used to love Brett Favre, now I just want to go away...that's saying a lot. I'm still going to root for the guy, but I have no faith in him actually doing all that well. He's certainly an upgrade over what they had, but it could still be a pretty brutal season for them.

The thing I don't get is why would the Vikes go after him? They don't need a guy who's going to take the chances that Brett is going to take. It makes a lot more sense to have Tavaris in there trying to manage games and occasionally trying to make big throws. It seems like Favre takes the opposite approach to a lot of games, with their running attack and D, they should be a team that controls the clock and wins 13-6 each week, if necessary, you add Favre and you'll probably put up 35 one week and then he'll throw 3 picks the next week.

This is a big risk for Minnesota.
