GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brett Favre jogged out of the tunnel in a purple helmet. He might as well have been wearing a black hat. No, Favre didn't seem to relish playing the villain in his return to Lambeau Field. But it was going to take more than a chorus of boos to throw him off his game. For the second time in less than a month, Favre sliced up his former team and stuck it to the franchise that
If you scroll down a few posts you’ll see that I have quarterback as the Vikings top draft need. This is based off of the possibility of both Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson being off the roster next season. Also, the pickings are incredibly slim in free agency at the quarterback position.

The Minnesota Vikings expectations for the 09' season went up dramatically with the potential of landing QB legend Brett Favre, which they did. It was a circus like atmosphere the entire off season with "Will he return? Won't he return?" and so on.

PITTSBURGH – Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings were anything but perfect. The Vikings couldn't gain a half-yard when it might have turned the game, then watched the Steelers' big-play defense end their unbeaten season with two long touchdown returns in the final 6 1/2 minutes.
