Unless you have been gone from not only Minnesota but anywhere that there is a TV you know that Brett Favre, after months of going back and forth and flirting with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress, has decided that he will not leave retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season... I guess I think I am surprised? It seemed like such a done deal but then again maybe it appered that way because I was hoping to see Mr. Favre in a purple #4 jersey, or perhaps I just liked what his joining the team would do to ticket sales... either way we are in a disappointment city.
The silver lining though, is now that I have put my crystal ball away and am done making Favre predictions, this Vikings Vixen can turn her attention back to more important things, like who will be listed as starting quarterback on the Vikings roster. As of the start of training camp there are 2 front-runners: Sage Rosenfels, the 9th year Vikings vet and Tarvaris Jackson, who is starting his 4th year in the NFL. Although neither QB has the star-power that Favre brought in Brad Childress believes that they are capable of taking the Vikings far this season. In a simple yet telling quote to the media Childress said, "We're Good." Lets hope so...

I feel like the whole summer has been about Favre, I'm glad that he finally made his decision and we can start to focus on some of the other Vikings players
I'm rooting for Jackson. I hope he doesn't let me down.
