Despite already having a better QB on their roster, the Vikings have officially signed Brett Favre (Press Conference Video Included)
As we reported on Tuesday Morning, Brett Favre is the newest member of the Minnesota Vikings after the 39-year old future HOFer decided to unretire yet again.
“I felt I did everything I possibly could do to get where I need to be,” Favre said at his introductory news conference Tuesday evening. “You’re 39, your arm may not feel like it did at 21. But the pieces are in place that you don’t have to do that much and I agree with that.
At the beginning of this post you can watch part of the news conference, courtesy of ESPN. The most surprising thing Favre revealed is that he actually has a small tear in his right rotator cuff.
“Between three weeks ago and the phone conversation yesterday [with Childress], I talked to Dr. [James] Andrews and he assured me it wouldn’t be an issue,” Favre said. “I felt if everyone was going to take that chance, I was to.”
The Vikings and head coach Brad Childress proved their idiocy by signing Favre. We’re huge Favre fans too, but he just doesn’t have it anymore. His arm is weak and he can’t stay healthy. Not to mention he no longer cares to build relationships with his teammates so they all hate him. Childress has to be the dumbest coach in the NFL.
Sage Rosenfels is a better quarterback than Brett Favre at this point in their careers. It doesn’t take the next Vince Lombardi to figure that out. But Childress obviously has no idea what he’s doing.

Favre will be far better than Sage and Tavaris. Good sign, I just wish he didn’t waffle about it for 4 months to skip training camp.
