Wooing Brett Favre: There's No Better Place To Go Than Minnesota

With Brett Favre's Packer career possibly over, FanHouse is looking at possible destinations for the Pro Bowler. Next up: the Minnesota Vikings.

Dear Brett,

We've heard how you're having some trouble with the Packers. They don't respect you. They aren't welcoming you back like they should. We can help.

Come to Minnesota. Not only do we respect you, but we'll greet you as a conquering hero. We've got a great team, and we're already a trendy pick to win the Super Bowl. But the reality is that we're a quarterback away from a legitimate Super Bowl run. We have the running backs (Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor), the offensive line (Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson) and the defense (Jared Allen joins Pat Williams and Kevin Williams) to win a title. But Tarvaris Jackson isn't ready to lead a team to the title. Obviously, you are.

You'll still be in the NFC North, so you'll be going to the same cities and facing the same teams. But unlike Green Bay, you won't have to worry about picking up frostbite, as our stadium is kept at a comfortable 72 degrees, even in December.

So come to Minnesota. You already have a good relationship with our offensive coordinator, Darren Bevell, from when he was your quarterback coach. You will be able to step in and run the offense from day one.

And beyond everything else. When they have Brett Favre Day for the opener on ESPN, you'll still be there. You'll just be wearing Purple and Gold. What better way to stick it to the Packers then to show up for your own party wearing the other team's uniform?

Sincerely,

The Minnesota Vikings

P.S. I forgot to mention. About the fact that we've hated you and wished a horrible death on you in the past. Hey, let's let bygones be bygones. You were a Packer, and we don't like Packers. But come to Minnesota and we'll forget all about that.
