I suppose Brad Childress will promise Brett Favre that he’ll name his next son after him. I don’t even know if Childress has kids or is planning to have kids, but the mere fact that he’s willing to have a sit-down meeting with Favre, as ESPN reported today, shows how desperate he is. Shades of the Jets and Eric Mangini, who gave his son, born last October, the middle name “Brett.”
If Favre returns and plays for the Vikings – and it’s starting to look like he will – it just shows that his decision to retire in February was a Jets thing, not a Brett thing.
Favre was totally unfulfilled by his Jets experience, and I think this apparent comeback was premeditated. He didn’t want to quit football in February, he just wanted to quit the Jets.
He never wanted to be here in the first place; he made that quite clear, admitting he found out about the trade from watching ESPN. By then, he figured it would cause too much damage to turn back, so he re-located his family to New Jersey and tried to make it work.
