Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings

[SmootSmack]

A few thoughts

- This is not a media driven story, it's a Favre driven story.

- It's a big story that needs to be covered. We're not talking about Quincy Carter making a comeback. It's Brett Favre

- That said, where's the outcry (from both media and fans) about how Vikings management/coaching staff has handled this? Fans here were lambasting the Redskins front office for making an offer this spring for an in-his-prime, proven QB. The Vikings traded a 4th rounder for a solid, but not spectacular QB; had their veterans call Favre asking him to come back, and ultimately signed (to a big contract) a proven but way past his prime Favre. Yet all the criticism seems to be on Favre.

- Someone mentioned Favre just wants to play for a winner. Maybe, but when I think winning organizations Vikings doesn't roll off the tongue.

- I thought Favre would actually skip all of preseason, but I think he'll do ok for the Vikings. He won't take them much further than they've gone in recent years in my opinion
