As the Favre Turns…

AUGUST 20TH, 2010

Oh the drama…

I’m losing count on how many times Mr. Favre has been unsure about his playing status. Here is what we know thus far…

Brett Favre is coming back to play in 2010 for what he says will be THE FINAL YEAR of his storied career.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, or are new to football, here’s the situation…

We have this drama circle that kicks up every season where this guy named Brett Favre puts on this little dramatic play about  if he wants to play again or not.

Well, the Minnesota Vikings are on year 2 of this ridiculous charade.

Here’s the news: It’s all planned.

If you seriously think this is some legit “Should I, should I not” situation, you need your head checked.

Favre knows when he wants to be in camp, as does the team, as does Coach Brad Childress, and the Vikings Ownership.

What plays out on ESPN each season is for the all-mighty ratings and viewer share.

For the ladies who watch The Hills, or the guys who say they don’t but really do, you know what I’m talking about here. This whole twisted relationship is for the cameras only.

But why the charade? Why the theatrics?

Favre hates mini-camp.

Furthermore, Favre hates everything to do with the pre-season. But, the coaches and ownership can’t appear to cave to a particular player, so they tell Brett when he needs to be ready by, and that’s that. At that point, it’s “understood” that Favre will publicly say he’s unsure about coming back, and blah blah blah…

I know it’s not as interesting as what ESPN or MTV spins, but at some point, we all just need to see the truth:

Heidi never liked Spencer.

Kristin and Brody were never in a relationship.

Brett Favre always knew he was coming back.

BLAMMO! It’s a shock to the system right? In the end, the Vikings can’t completely say “Screw the culture of the NFL, because we have our own rules”, so they just let the player do it for them.

And what do the Vikings get in return? A dead-set Hall of Fame QB who will throw them right out of the playoffs.

Enjoy Minnesota… We’ve all seen this dance before.
