The Minnesota Vikings undoubtedly took a blow today when reports came out that Brett Favre has informed the team he will retire. Many still feel there is a chance that he could come back because in the past he has had problems walking away from the game but I think this time its for good. He had surgery on an ankle in the off-season and it just hasn’t healed as he had hoped.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Minnesota Vikings organization has been on pins and needles the last month waiting on their 2009 starting quarterback, Brett Favre, to tell them if he intends to play the 2010 season.

Favre followers are used to this approach.

There is no question that LaDainian Tomlinson is a Hall of Fame running back. There is also no debate that LT has lost a step in the past couple years.

1) QB Brett Favre is old and can not play any longer… NOT! At 40 years of age (later this season) Brett can still fling the ball all around the field when he needs to. The Vikings are starting to let Brett play and this should open up the run more for Peterson.

2) QB Aaron Rogers is a good up and coming Quarter Back but he was no Brett Favre on this night. Rogers has not played in the big games like Favre has and it showed tonight.

To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, in the free agency era of sports we are all really just cheering for laundry.  By that he meant that we cheer for the people wearing our team’s uniforms, regardless of who they are – or were.  With the recent addition to the Minnesota Vikings – my favorite team – that [...]
