Brett Favre in a Vikings jersey is like when Heinz tried to make ketchup in colors other than red. For some reason you just know that is not supposed to be purple.
I understand the statements about this being a bad investment for Minnesota and Favre either being too old, too hurt, or just not that good anymore, but as a Vikings fan there are really only two ways to take this:
1) Hate Brett Favre with the same passion you’ve hated him forever, in which case you have to expect he fails miserably or you’re just an idiot.
or
2) Just embrace Favre, buy purple number 4 jerseys (even if they’re weird as hell), cheer for him, and hope he has a great season.
As a fan, the second option really is the only choice that doesn’t turn the season into 17 week’s of hating yourself and your life, so in other words “Go Favre!”
Regardless, I’m just glad there’s excitement around the Vikings heading in to the season, and you can expect I’ll be extemely excited for Monday Night Football on October 5th, when the Vikes welcome the Packers to the Metrodome.
Now if only the Vikings could pull off a trade for Randy Moss, all would be right in Vikings land.
And as random meaningless backup to my point. <a href=”http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&um=1&sa=1&q=brett+favre&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10&start=0″>Not a single image in the first page of a google image search for “Brett Favre” is Minnesota related.</a>
