To quote the immortal John Madden, “Brett Favre.”
He is back… again. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger making 8 different Terminator movies, Favre has decided to add another chapter to his already annoying as hell saga. I honestly had hoped that he was going to stay retired. Guess I didn’t cross my fingers hard enough.
With Favre making his return he has rocked the sports world yet again. He has also rocked the alternate universe that I have submerged myself in known as fantasy football. His impact on the Vikings will be huge. Adrian Peterson gets much more dangerous, and his receivers get a huge boost to their draft stock. What could possibly go wrong?
This is EXACTLY what we thought a year ago when he donned a Jets jersey and had them poised to contend for the Super Bowl. Thomas Jones never ran better, passes were on point, Jerricho Cotchery continuously screwed me over in two leagues because he forgot how to catch the f***ing ball!! I digress, excuse me. Then what happened? Injury, age, and a tougher schedule.
And that is what I’m predicting to happen this year. He is going to have the Vikings perched on top of the NFC North, looking like the absolute faves to win it all. Then once the going gets tough he is going to suck hard, just like my neighbor serenading me through the wall of my apartment.
My thoughts on Vikings fantasy players this year:
- Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league, hands down. If you have the number one pick use it on him. (I mean have you seen that commercial on TV, where he’s running shirtless? I have no idea what he’s advertising but it really makes me want to read that book I have about life in Ancient Greece.)
Peterson fills me with hope. And some other feelings that are confusing and weird..
- Visanthe Shiancoe is a top ten tight end. I thought so last year when Rogersworthe won a league on Shiancoe’s shoulders.
- Bernard Berrian and potentially Percy Harvin will play well until Favre hits his midseason decline. If owned, I would trade ASAP after they have a good game while their stock is still high.

Your spellcheck hates you, it seems. The word is "donned", not "dawned." Otherwise, I totally agree, and I don't even like naked Greeks.
That's because dawned is a word. Spell Check wouldn't catch that.
Of course. I forget, spellcheck doesn't catch correctly spelled syntactical mistakes. I wish it did…
