Mere weeks after every national media outlet reported that Brett Favre wasn't going to play this season, every national media outlet now is reporting that he's on his way to Minnesota, presumably to tell the Vikings that he's coming back for a 20th season.
Apparently the Vikings were so desperate to get their 40-year-old QB back that they sent defensive end Jared Allen, offensive lineman Steve Hutchinson and kicker Ryan Longwell to Mississippi to beg Favre to come back. And, apparently, the groveling worked.
As is my stance with most Favre reports, I'm skeptical of this one. I've been of the mind this whole offseason that he was coming back, so the news that he's traveling to Minnesota is no surprise. Perhaps he's just going there to hold another tearful retirement press conference. Or maybe he'll be at practice tomorrow.
Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later. But given that it's Favre, he'll probably drag this out for as long as he can and soak up as much attention as we're willing to give him.
I wish I could say that this Favre nonsense will all be over soon. But we all know that's not even close to the truth.

I feel like you write these posts because you're a little afraid of what the Vikings (with Favre) will do to you beloved Packers. Just like last year.
