These teams must give the marketing departments the heads up on information before everyone else. How else can you explain the team site already having all kinds of Brett Favre Vikings jerseys and merchandise already up for sale?
I think it was the same night that the Jets announced the trade for Favre that they had his jerseys for sale — Vikings did the exact same thing. With the Jets at least he was wearing green again. Purple though? I dunno about that. He doesn’t look too good. I’m just hoping the Vikings go 1-15 with him. Either that or Brett gets his arm broken week 2. I swear, he’s going to get hit by a blitzing linebacker and wind up dying on the field. Book it. Lastly, where was ESPN on this story? After spending all summer discussing the rumors they had a big swing and a miss on this one. Only Jay Glazer of FOX yesterday had a report saying Favre would be coming back. How did this sneak up on everyone?
