Brett Favre is back! Again! He unretired again this morning and headed to the Vikings.

I must be missing what's great about this.
Maybe if you're a Vikings fan?

or maybe if you got hosed in your fantasy draft and need a decent QB or back-up.

Ha. I see where this might be good for you.
Unless you are penalized heavily for INTs.

Great day for Depends, their poster boy is back! :roll:

If Favre was still in the top third of good qbs in the NFL I'd be all for him. However, being in the bottom third (all things considered) I feel like he is tarnishing his image. Just to play for the love of the game is not always a productive result at his age.

After watching that press conference how can you hate the guy?

I don't hate the guy. I just am tired of all the dramatics.
If you've decided to come back but just don't want to go through most of training camp, fine - just say that up front.

Jordanesque.... :lol:

it seemed at first that favre coming back wasn't going to get as much attention as it did last year. but i guess the fact that he is in Minny makes that much more newsworthy.

the real question is - does he make for a better better fantasy back-up than Matt Ryan, when P. Manning is your starter? :wink:

@BearDenFounder - Absolutely he does and I'm not just saying that because I want to pick up Matt Ryan.

i forgot people in my league were in here, PnG. perhaps we could deal for Ryan? i see some intriguing prospects on your roster...

1.) I like how PnG used Twitter-like communication skills.
2.) In his rookie season Ryan threw for as many yards in a lot fewer attempts. He also threw for fewer interceptions and touchdowns. All of that in a rookie season.
3.) Keep us informed of how the trade situation goes with the two of you.

25 million reasons other than love of the game.

A fool (the owner) and his money are soon parted. :wink:
