Well they did it. After the media circus, the "Yes I will, No I won't" they signed Favre. Let me start with this disclaimer: I am an avid Vikings fan and I always will be. That said, now let me go bang my head against the wall.
While I must agree with other Vikings fans I do believe we are a QB away from a championship, I am really not so sure Brett Favre is that QB. The man is 39 years old, while I am not implying in any way that 39 is old, the chances of getting a full successful season out of him are pretty slim. One has to wonder what exactly Childress is thinking when just three weeks ago Favre stated he "didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable." and now all those concerns seem to be gone. Brett seems to have really been saying he didn't want to get out there and do two a day practices like the rest of the team.
Sage was starting to look promising, one has to wonder now when Brett gets injured (and I say when, not if) how he will feel being pulled in after he has been told by his coach twice he just isn't good enough. This will however allow us to release Tarvaris when he becomes a free agent this year.
The last thing I want to point out is this: Last year the Jets head coach, Eric Mangini, was jumping up and down in excitement as he turned his team over to Favre, confident he would lead them to victory. Hmm, where is Mangini now? Oh that's right, he was fired..... Could we be so lucky?

I was listening to ESPN radio while out making my rounds today. I remember leaving one client's office and starting my car to hear the local talking heads discussing the Favre deal. They were talking about the suspect coaching of Minnesota and how, even with a good solid QB, the Vikings may not be successful.
