Here are a few columnists’ take on the news that Favre may unretire yet again and play for the Vikings:
- Terence Moore of Fanhouse writes that Favre should play as long as he wants.
- Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune doesn’t want Favre to bring his circuse to town.
- Vic Carucci of NFL.com weighs the pros and cons of another Favre comeback.
- Greg A. Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel discusses the bad blood between Favre and Packers GM, Ted Thompson.
While I understood why my favorite player of all time wanted to return last season, it appears that this comeback isn’t about the thrill of competition as much as it is about Favre seeking revenge on Green Bay management. It’s pretty sad to base a comeback on spite.
Being a Bears’ fan, I normally would simply not even comment on Favre now that he is gone and has lost a lot….but this looks like a clear case of his simply wanting to “stick it” to the Packers…..not a very Hall of Fame thing to do. He should let everyone remember him as the gunslinger who was pretty damn good in his day.
Hell, he was pretty damn good two years ago…and the first half of last year. I’m not sure what he’s trying to prove.
