You knew this was coming. Admit it. When you signed onto ESPN.com at some point this afternoon, you thought, "I can't wait to read Kaps's blog tonight. He's gonna go off about Brett Favre." And you were damn right.
Brett Favre has done it again. A mere 3 weeks after he "retired for good," he's back. Favre signed a 1 year contract with the Vikings today for, get this, $10M-$12M! Just to remind you, Brett Favre went 1-5 down the stretch last year with the Jets and single-handedly cost them a playoff spot with his exorbitant amount of interceptions. Yet he's being hailed as a hero, and many "experts" are now picking the Vikings as the NFC favorites. Are you freakin kidding me? Brett Favre hasn't had a solid 16 game season since 2004. He throws WAY too many interceptions, and he's coming into his 4th new offense in 4 years (coaching change in Green Bay his last year there). Give me a break, he's going to stink. I honestly can say that if I were a Vikings fan, I'd rather have Sage Rosenfels as my QB.
But I'm not here to talk about Brett Favre's potential as a QB. I'm here to talk about his decision-making, loyalty, and viability as a teammate. Like I said last time, Brett Favre changes his mind more than a high school girl choosing a prom dress. I apologize to all the teenage girls out their choosing prom dresses, I never should have insulted you by classifying you with Brett Favre. Brett Favre is much, much, much worse than all of you. No, he's the person who samples 15 flavors at your favorite ice cream joint, he's the person who shops for 3 hours and comes home with 1 shirt, and the girls with the prom dresses, all rolled into one. He literally makes me sick. When I logged onto ESPN today and saw him in his purple No.4 jersey, I wanted to throw up.
Let me put it to you like this. No one likes an indecisive person. Everyone wants to be around people who make a decision, follow their instincts, and live with the consequences. Instead, Brett Favre has trampled on 2 more quarterbacks (Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson, meet Aaron Rodgers). He has taken another franchise for a spin and held them hostage for most of the offseason, who now plan on plugging Favre into their next preseason game this week. He has also disrupted team chemistry, caused unnecessary distractions, and expects to be hailed as a hero. To be honest, I blame the Vikings as well for enabling this travesty to happen.
OK, I've gone on long enough. I could go on for hours, but I'll stop it here. Just another huge black eye on the legacy of the once proud quarterback. Brett, you're pathetic. I hope you tear your ACL in the first preseason game...and so does John David Booty. How dare you steal his number and make him switch to 9!
