I’m not going to write about this much because I really am tired of it all. Unless you’ve pretty much just been born you have been dealing with “The Favre Saga” for quite some time, and unless you are No. 4 himself or maybe his mom, you’re probably pretty tired of it. I really don’t want to have to waste time waiting while SportsCenter runs a 20-minute segment on whether Favre will play or not….again.

So yeah, I’ll make this brief. Favre has apparently been given some sort of deadline to decide whether he will be under center for the Minnesota Vikings this upcoming year, though he wants more time to find out if his surgery worked. Apparently, those close to him think he’s going to play, because a ton of them booked a hotel near Lambeau Field for the Vikings/Packers game this November

I just hope that Minnesota is doing this for the right reasons. Clearly, Tarvaris Jackson did not work out last year, and they need a new quarterback. They don’t need anyone amazing to compliment Adrian Peterson, just someone that can get the job done. Obviously, Favre is a temporary fix, and calling him a fix might be pushing it. He’ll be better than Jackson was, but at his age the injury risk is incredibly high, and that would just ruin a whole season for the Vikes. If the Vikings have explored all other options and don’t see a way of nabbing another QB, this might make sense for them, but if there is a long-term viable option for them, it would be worth a little sacrifice now to secure the future.
