Like every other fan of the sports world, I’m sick of hearing about Brett Favre. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Packer fan and he was our guy for a long time, and I personally think he got treated like crapola at the end. I also think he didn’t do himself any favors by the way he acted. Despite being sick of hearing about him, I can’t stop writing about him. That is what Favre does to us.
But here’s the thing, I WANT to see Brett Favre play for the Vikings. At this point, (God help me) I think I would like nothing better. Here’s why.
- I want to see Favre compete again. Especially with a West Coast Offensive team. I was pretty amazed that Favre even learned Mangini’s complicated offense last year. He’s known as a talented player but not necessarily a studious one. He learned a brand new (phone book sized) playbook, which certainly surprised me. I expected him to not be prepared and play at least one or two games. But he did. Still, with the West Coast Offense he’s been playing for years, I really want to see what he can do.
- I want to see him go out in a big way. If this is truly going to be his last year, I want to see him be wildly successful or completely inept. None of this mediocre stuff.
- I want to see Favre play “pissed off.” No one plays better under adversity, and Favre going to the Vikings surely qualifies as that. This is when he plays his most exciting game. It won’t always be glorious, but it will be interesting to watch. Love him or not, he is definitely entertaining.
- I want to see the Packer defense step up. I love a defensive game, and if Favre is the quarterback to beat on the other team, it surely means a great defensive game on the part of the Packers.
- Favre in purple will allow it to sink in once and for all that he isn’t truly a Packer. He still says “he’ll always be a Packer,” but if he’s in a purple jersey there’s no way that can be true. Going from Packer green to Jets green (and a completely different league) was a slight change. Going from green to purple means something far different to Packer fans.
