Favre Un-Retires Again

Brett Favre flew to Minnesota on Tuesday morning and was taken to the facilities of the Minnesota Vikings, where the paperwork was completed and Favre signed a two-year deal worth $25 million. Just like that, Favre comes out of retirement again. According to ESPN sources, Favre will be immediately inserted as the starter in their preseason game Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterbacks Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson, who were in a quarterback competition, are now backups. Favre will also play his former team, the Green Bay Packers, on October 5th in Minnesota and November 1st in Green Bay.

This has gotten to an extremely annoying point now. Favre has clearly done this, knowing all along that he wanted to play for the Vikings this upcoming season. Favre did not want to go through a whole training camp. Training camp is over at the end of the month, and we're passed the halfway point of the month, so all Favre has to do is get in games and play, which is unfair to all the players who are putting in the work in training camp. Favre thinks he's above everyone in the NFL, and the Vikings are dumb to want him because he doesn't necessarily care about the players.

This is very unfair to Rosenfels and Jackson. They came into training camp thinking they were going to battle for the starting quarterback job. All of a sudden, it isn't a competition anymore. A man who may not be better than the both of them doesn't even have to work hard to get the spot. Favre automatically gets the spot. Also, how does this make the Vikings any better with him as their quarterback? Rosenfels did a decent job as the Houston Texans quarterback last season and Favre tanked the final couple of games to cost the New York Jets a playoff spot. I truly believe Rosenfels is a better quarterback than Favre at this point and he should be the starter.
