EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The lure of playing in another Super Bowl brought Brett Favre back to the NFL — again.
Favre joined his Minnesota Vikings teammates at practice Wednesday. The three-time MVP wore a helmet, shoulder pads and red quarterback’s jersey as he worked out with Minnesota for the first time since getting battered by New Orleans Saints as the Vikings lost the NFC Championship Game in January.
“As we were driving on that last drive it seemed like it was destiny — for us,” Favre said. “I was so close, so close to getting these guys to the Super Bowl.”
Instead, Favre threw an interception in the final minute of regulation. The Vikings never got the ball back in overtime.
“I owe it to this organization to give it one more try,” he said.
Not that coming back for a 20th season was a simple decision.
“I could make a case for both playing, not playing,” Favre said. “This is a very good football team. The chances [of going to the Super Bowl] here are much greater than other places. From that standpoint, it was always going to be easier [to return].
This is getting out of hand now. is this what we have to expect from Brett Favre every off season. c’mon now its a bit redundant to keep putting NFL fans thru the same lame suspense every year.. Just retire already!!!!
