He's BAAA-AAACK!

The #1 diva in all of sports, is now out of retirement (again?): this time playing across the river for the NFC North rivals of his "beloved" Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings. The funny thing about this story though, is that a little over a week ago, Favre was retired and the Vikings were no longer pursuing him, or any other QB for that matter. Now, as the iron from the Michael Vick signing begins to cool, another sword has been cast into the fire and pounded into the media. With Favre, it's really a toss up between two things: either his competitive nature refrains him from walking away from the game...or he's simply an attention whore somewhat bound on beating the team that let him go...or both (check out the Venn diagram lol). Another question surfaces regarding just how beneficial this decision will be. Most sports analysts agree that Favre makes the Vikings a better team, and on paper, this is true. However, Tavaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, both of whom have locker room support, have been lied to about the availability of the QB position and in sports, team chemistry trumps talent. I doubt Favre will receive any cold shoulders simply because of his likability in the public eye as well as his on the field accomplishments. But, if the soon-to-be 40-yr old goes down, there's no telling how willing the back-ups will be after being duped like this. The story doesn't come as much of a shocker though. For one, Jay Glazer broke it. Enough said. Secondly, if there was any doubt as to how efficient and accurate twitter is, its gone now. Vikings' players had been tweeting back and forth on the issue and the buzz never quite died.As I stated earlier, this is good for news, 50/50 for fans (or nothing depending on who you ask), but bad for the NFL's image as a business. At any rate, this should add to an already highly anticipated NFL season smothered with headlines...stay tuned!
