Vikings Gab

Not long ago, we hesitantly pointed out a (for lack of a better term) “report” from Deadspin.com that Brett Favre engaged in some Tiger-Like activities via cell phone when he was with the Jets.

I don’t understand why a player would do this right now.  Childress is the head coach [...]

Well, it has been an interesting week which has sparked many of interesting conversations about the Vikings.
On Sunday’s Football Night in America the Vikings will take on the Niners.  Storylines will feature Brett Favre’s return, the perceived schism in the locker room, Percy Harvin’s migraine issues, the potential additions of Brandon Jones and Javon Walker, [...]

If there ever was confirmation of #4 taking the field today, it was confirmed via the Vikings official website, and Judd Zulgad just tweeted about it a few minutes ago:
Vikings website confirms that Favre will practice today. Can’t say I’m surprised. I think he will play a series or two Sunday.

“Favre Watch 2010″ seems to be drawing to a close, as all reports indicate that Brett is back, and will be ready to go on Thursday, September 9th when the Vikings take on the Saints in the season opener Kickoff game on NBC.
Here’s the latest from the Star Tribune on the comeback:
