Hairy News and Views: Vikings "Tamper" With Brett Favre?

Holy Hope! I actually read this morning that the Packers were seeking action against the MINNESOTA VIKINGS for alleged "tampering" with Favre in an attempt to get him on their team. The Vikings have long been my favorite NFL team and I was just joking with a friend that it would be cool to see Favre go to the Vikings. I just can't seem to share the same amount of optimism for current Vikings' starting QB, Tarvaris Jackson, that Vikes head coach, Brad Childress, does. Jackson just doesn't seem very good and that he will always throw dumb interceptions; and he has a hard time staying healthy. I know Childress insists that Jackson is developing and the Vikes want to spend money filling up other positions but I dunno, Jackson's pitiful play cost the Vikings a win against the Redskins late last year and a trip to the playoffs with a winning record for the first time since the 2000 season (in 2004 they went to the playoffs at 8-8).

The Vikings acquired Bernard Berrian this offseason at wide receiver. Adrian Peterson is out to show there will be NO sophomore jinx for this outstanding running back. The Vikings defense has really come along, especially when it comes to stopping the run and all we need is a good, solid consistent QB to keep the car from going into a ditch. I personally feel that Tarvaris Jackson's poor play is very likely to lose the Vikings at least 4 games this year all on its own and it would great to get Favre in for one last chance at getting him another ring.

The Vikings play Monday Night Football the first week of the season AT Green Bay. How cool would it be to see Favre come out on the field wearing PURPLE? Hahahahaha. It's sounds too cool and I'm not going to hold my breath, but hey, like Barack Obama says, we gotta have HOPE.
