Can Favre Save My Life?

History:

Brett Favre....a Minnesota Viking. My GOD! Tell me this 5 years ago and I punch you in the face. I would have no tolerance for Favrepalooza, and I wouldn't stand for it.

Unfortunately, the Minnesota Vikings, the team I did not choose but chose me, have never won a Super Bowl. Despite being from Minnesota (which I hold no state pride) and being 50% Norwegian blood (never been to Norway), I feel a huge devotion to this team even though I know they're going to break my heart every year. They are arguably the most successful football team that never has acquired the ring. Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, and Detroit Lions are all longstanding franchises without a ring, but they are PERENNIAL LOSERS. Vikings have many hall of fame players, 1 of only 9 coaches in the hall (Bud Grant = old school badass), 4 superbowl appearances, numerous NFC Championship games, and even more playoff appearances.

Who does this remind you of? Chicago Cubs. Only difference: Cubs are cursed, won't ever win it. Vikings aren't cursed, just bad luck.

Destiny:

Superbowl seasons usually tend to have great "stories" associated with them. Teams overcoming adversity or some obstacle that year, or breaking records, whatever the case may be. You have to admit that the Brett Favre acquisition, paired with a long drought of non-superbowl rings for a successful and perennial contending/dominating franchise, definately sets the table for a great super bowl story. Its in the cards people, easiest schedule, best running back (of all time) in my opinion, stellar offensive and defensive lines, and a Hall of Fame Quarterback.

Getting It Done:

"But Brett Favre isn't what he used to be". No shit. But guess who is isn't? TJoke or Sagecopter. Two guys who should tattoo a question mark symbol on their foreheads, because that's all they'll be known ass. As long as Favre just runs the offense, doesn't turn the ball over, gives the defense time to rest, and can convert a 3rd down once in a while, I see this season with Superbowl written ALL OVER IT.

This is the year, I can feel it, I'm so caught up in Favrepalooza that I can't take it anymore, gonna explode. I say this every year, but this year it looks so good on paper it's sick.

Bring it on.
