According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Brett Favre has hired a personal trainer.
Latest buzz is that new free-agent QB Brett Favre, 39, who could end up with the Vikings, has hired a personal trainer at home in Mississippi.
Favre’s sudden arrival on the market makes you wonder if that’s the reason the Vikings haven’t spent much on free agency this year. Maybe they knew something.
Unless Favre just hired the personal trainer to ensure that he looks good for his next Docker’s commercial, this is the first sign that Brett is once again on the comeback trail.
Then again, this is just a rumor and should be treated as such. The Vikings did trade for Sage Rosenfels in the offseason and haven’t given up on former second round pick Tarvaris Jackson either. Brad Childress seems content on Rosenfels and Jackson duking it out in training camp and preseason to determine who will be his Week 1 starter.
Then again, we are taking about the limited Rosenfels and the still raw Jackson here. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to think Childress wants something more out of his quarterback position and has already contacted Favre to gauge his interest in re-joining the NFC North. After all, the Vikings appear to be a quarterback away from once again being the favorites in their division – a division that just got more competitive with the Bears’ addition of Jay Cutler.
Personally, I think if Favre returns it would be a slap in the face of the Jets, who gave up what turned out to be a third round pick for his services last year. They got one season out of him with no playoffs and then he decided to retire again. Now speculation has it that he might possibly return. Of course, the media is bringing on this speculation; Favre’s agent Bus Cook says he still intends to stay retired, so maybe we should trust him……………..I’m sorry, I just blacked out for a second. Where was I? Oh yeah, we should trust Brett Favre that he wants to stay retired…
