Had a little extra time on my lunch hour today and wanted to rant about a completely non industry related topic. Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. For those of you have not heard or read the story, Brett Favre has come out of retirement once again and signed a two year contract with the Minnesota Vikings for a reported 25 million dollars.

I am not one to begrudge a man for changing his mind. God Bless him for being able to convince the Vikings that he was worth that kind of money, especially in these economic times. What I have issue with is the Vikings basically telling their two other QB’s, that were vying for the starting job, that they have now been relegated to backups because the “once great” Brett Favre has decided he wants to bring his pail and shovel to the NFL and play again.

This is a man who is coming of surgery to his throwing arm, who was less than spectacular last year with the Jets, who somehow was able to convince a franchise that he was a “franchise QB”. I am completely confident that the Vikings will not be getting the ROI they hoped for in this transaction.

Would go on, but my lunch is over.
