It seems like the 'Comeback Kid,' Brett Favre, is not done living up to his nickname just yet. Brett Favre has reportedly come to agreements to sign a one year deal with the Minnesota Vikings worth about $12 million. This news comes following two Vikings players stating that Favre would sign with the team a day earlier. Criticised for being a distraction, Favre hopes he can take this good team and make them great. "He can be the final piece to the puzzle," stated Jay Wineman, a Minnesota native. "Although he is a distraction, he has been in the league and knows what it means to win at a very high level." Other people were not as understanding when it came to Favre's decision. "This guy has to just stay out of the game. For his own good, and for the betterment of the league," says five year sports writer Bill Nolan.
In my opinion, this charade has gone on for far too long. After the comeback last season, most people I know were annoyed and felt he just had to hang it up already. I, though, was a little more leniant when it came to judging Favre, and I rooted for him and the Jets to succeed last season. This time, however, I am passed my wits end with Favre. This is a player who I had a ton of respect for, and now I can honestly say that he is tainting his legacy. It has come to a point where it seems that Favre is taking pleasure in getting the league to go into a frenzy everytime a thought pops into his head. He has way too much pull with the media, and it is turning the best game in sports into a circus. Just make a decision and stick to it! It is enough already Brett!
But, whatever people feel about the decision, Brett Favre will be a Viking this season, and nobody or anything will stand in Brett Favre's way... Except for Brett Favre.
