Favre-Vikings deal could be win-win

Brett in the purple and gold? It would seem odd, but the more bitter Packer nation gets about the deal, the more welcome it will be in Minnesota. On behalf of Lutheran Viking fans, we would forgive Brett his previous green and gold sins and welcome with open arms to the promised land of on last Super Bowl (and the first for the Vikings)...

If Brett Favre wants to play for the Vikings, which he seems to want to do, and if the Vikings want Favre, which they seem to, there would seem to be a deal to be made, with the NFL steering it behind the scenes. A deal for the future hall of fame quarterback could be good business for the league. Getting Favre, even though he turns 39 in October, immediately would make the Vikings' chances of getting to the Super Bowl at least as good as any NFL team's. Favre obviously knows that because he would get to play with running back Adrian Peterson and wide receiver Bernard Berrian, and have Jared Allen chasing opposing quarterbacks. The Vikings haven't refuted Green Bay's charges of tampering with Favre. The tampering issue, which is difficult to prove, would go away if the Vikings and Packers could make a deal.

and what I appreciate the most about the article is that I went to college with Bernard Berrian... go Bulldogs!

I hope you are both well!

Leave Favre alone! He either plays for us or nobody. ;)
