<p>Brett Favre has changed his mind once again (surprise!) and decided he wants to return to the NFL and signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings.</p>
<p>His contract is worth a hefty $10-$12 million and will be formally announced as a press conference Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had an assful of Favre and his indecisiveness and I hope this move by Minnesota backfires on them.</p>
<p>(Fantasy alert: This might hurt Adrian Peterson&#8217;s production)</p>
<p>Does anyone care at this point if Favre is coming or going?</p>

<p>I can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I just can&#8217;t do another offseason of Brett Favre and his desire to play football after &#8220;retiring.&#8221; </p>
<p>Favre is scheduled to meet with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress later this week to discuss the possibility of coming back (once effin again) for the 2009 season.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t wish injury upon any athlete normally, but it would bring me joy if he got Tom Brady&#8217;ed Week 1 of the NFL season and was gone for the year. </p>
<p>Why the Vikings by the way? </p>
<p>Besides the fact he would get to play alongside Adrian Peterson, he would get two cracks at the Green Bay Packers during the regular season.</p>
<p>Nothing would make the ageless wonder happier than burning Green Bay at Lambeau Field.</p>
<p>And nothing would make me happier than Packers linebacker Nick Barnett putting Favre on his back.</p>

<p>Stop me if you have heard this one before &#8230;</p>
<p>Brett Favre retired from the NFL.</p>
<p>Shocking, right?</p>
<p>But this time the quarterback says it&#8217;s for good.</p>
<p>&#8220;Emotionally, I&#8217;m OK with it,&#8221; said Favre. &#8220;I really felt like it was time. Obviously, the circumstances last year were a lot different. Physically, if I felt better, we may not be having this conversation, but I think that&#8217;s more than anything the writing on the wall.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard not to believe the 39-year-old based on how he struggled during the end of last season &#8230; but then again, this is Brett Favre we are talking about.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s to stop him from calling up Green Bay if God forbid Aaron Rodgers went down in preseason with an injury.</p>
<p>The old gunslinger is not to be trusted &#8211; - at all.</p>

<p>Defensive end Michael Strahan has turned down an offer to return to the New York Giants and will stay retired.</p>
<p>You hear that, Brett?</p>
<p>He will stay <em>retired</em>.</p>
<p>With Osi Umenyiora gone for the season, the Giants have a gaping home on the defensive line, and the man with the gaping gap was their first phone call they made.</p>
<p>Strahan will start his broadcasting career next weekend as he makes his regular season debut on the NFL on FOX pregame show.</p>
<p>Enjoy your 8-8 season, Big Blue fans.</p>

<p>Quick story:</p>
<p>I&#8217;m at the Kanye West show last night at MSG, thinking, here&#8217;s my chance to escape from work and Brett Favre coverage and Glow in the Dark for a few hours.</p>
<p>As soon as <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/music/soundOff/jay-z-is-here-to-stay/" target="_blank">Jay-Z finished his hot freestyle</a> with Kanye, I start heading to the exit and what do I hear &#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS.&#8221;</p>
<p>I knew for a fact this was the Garden and not Giants Stadium.</p>
<p>I look up at the television to see Favre was heading to the Big Apple.</p>
<p>As for the trade, Favre&#8217;s addition, <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/news/playahater/the-jets-continue-to-make-it-rain-on-fas/" target="_blank">along with the Jets busy offseason</a>, should make New York a playoff team.</p>
<p>Best of luck to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.</p>
<p>It can&#8217;t be a good sign when <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-favrerodgers080508&amp;prov=yhoo&amp;type=lgns" target="_blank">6-year-olds think you suck</a>.</p>

<p>Favre, clearly not hurting for cash, didn&#8217;t bite on the Packers offer and Green Bay is now looking at a scenario where they could find themselves trading #4 to a division rival.</p>
<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t want to see Favre lead the Minnesota Vikings into Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football?</p>

<p>The network, in particular, Chris Mortensen had folks believing that retired quarterback Brett Favre was this close to returning to the NFL Wednesday afternoon.</p>
<p>Too bad Favre is not backing up those claims.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all rumor,&#8221; Favre told the Mississippi&#8217;s Sun Herald newspaper.</p>
<p>Is he or isn&#8217;t he?</p>
<p>The media darling Favre continues to stir the pot about a possible return from his short-lived retirement.</p>
<p>And the folks in Bristol are eating it all up.</p>
<p>When Brett Favre actually gets in front of a microphone and says &#8220;I&#8217;m back, and Aaron Rodgers, enjoy the bench,&#8221; then I will believe he&#8217;s actually returning.</p>
<p>Until then, let it go, ESPN.</p>
