Brett Favre truly going to practice with Vikings

The modern version of the fable “The Boy who Cried Wolf” has sort of become “Brett Favre Retiring.” Brett Favre has gone north to Minnesota to participate in training camp with the Minnesota Vikings. The worm has turned after some teammates visited him at home. It isn’t known if the holder of more NFL records than any NFL quarterback hasn’t said he certainly will make it through an entire season yet, but if last year and him showing up at practice is a good sign there’s a great chance he will.

Minnesota has Brett Favre back

Following the third year of intense debate over the subject, Brett Favre has held out until the last minute and decided not to retire, returning to practice with the Minnesota Vikings. On Tuesday, Aug. 17, Favre stepped off a plane and joined his teammates on the practice field, having missed yet another training camp, according to ESPN. Brett Favre didn’t need any stinking training camp last year. The Vikings lived up to their title, rampaging around the NFL and utterly destroyed a pathetic Dallas Cowboys squad within the first game of the post-season. Favre picked up an ankle injury in the heartbreaking loss to New Orleans within the NFC title game in overtime.

Decision to return may have been helped by fellow Vikings

A visit from teammates may have made the difference in convincing Favre to come back. Three teammates of his from the Vikings headed down to Favre’s home in Hattiesburg, Miss., to get him back to practice. Lineman Steve Hutchinson, kicker Ryan Longwell and defensive end Jared Allen (owner of maybe one of the most famous mullet in the NFL) flew down to talk to Favre. Favre flew to Minnesota with them, so they must have made quite the case.

The only grandfather in the league for making a lot

If Favre plays this season, as outlined by USA Today, he stands to earn $20 million. He will have to earn every penny. One of their opening games is going to be against the Packers, and they probably still want revenge. Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers put up some very good numbers last year, and knocking off the Vikings, with Favre to boot, could be a real feather in their cap.
