You heard it here, the 12th of May. Brett Favre will play in 2009 and for the Vikings. This is just a whole song and dance to draw interest and avoid some offseason training. He knew this when he signed with the Jets. He wanted to go to the Vikings and worked out a backroom deal for them to release him if and when he retired. They would then no longer be obligated to give anything in return to the Packers if he ended up in the NFC North. Shocker!!!
So if there's anyone out there looking for a straight answer on Favre, take a Rip Van Winkle size nap until about the end of June - early July. Wake up, have an eggo, and then go online and get your Favre Vikings jersey and prepare for the Super Bowl run.
Al Franken, if you're reading, do the same. You won't be seated as Senator until around the same time.
