Fran’s Favre Aversion - It’s All About the Rivalry

Via The Viking Age  |  May 29, 2009

Does anyone believe the Minnesota Vikings wouldn't be better with Brett Favre? Of course some do but I don't, his pre-madonna motivation to reign the Vikings to a Superbowl simply to spite his former GM is going to carry him far enough.
