Here comes Brett...
Well the latest "retirement" of Lord Brittney Favre did not last long did it? With today's announcement of Brit's signing with Minny can there be any doubt that his every move, back to and including his first tearful "retirement", was meant to put him in a Viking uniform.
What could make Brett turn his back on a fan base that forgave his many off field indiscretions and blamed his numerous late season embarrassments on everyone and everything not named Favre? Perhaps it is "The Old Gunslinger's" love of the game. Perhaps it is the wish of "The Hattiesburg Hillbillie's" family( after all what will become of Scott when Brett retires?). But my money says that it all comes down to his hatred for Ted Thompson. After all we need to remember that Ted was the man that had the audacity to expect his QB to actually show up and practice with his teammates. Ted was the man that drafted a QB to replace Brett(of course Brit refused to give TT any commitment going forward prior to the draft). Ted was the man that ignored Brett's wishes that he name Steve Mariucci head coach of the Packers.
It will not surprise me if Brett has a few wonderful games. He will probably be happy to hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson and throw safe passes to his middling recieving corp. But at some point it will all unravel...Brett will not be able to fight off "The Old Gunslinger" mentality. He will throw the ball to the wrong colored jerseys and eventually the locker room will splinter. The Vikes will not win a Super Bowl, probably not win the division and Brad Childress will be fired. Brett will announce his retirement saying it is "the toughest decision he has ever made" and he will wait and hope that there is one more poor sap of an organization that will allow him to torpedo their future.
You go get 'em Brit...at least you made John Madden's day.
