With Vikings quarterback Brett Favre now back with the team and playing in his first preseason game of the year, more details have emerged regarding the events that resulted in Favre emerging from football limbo.
Andrea Kremer of NBC reported before kickoff of Sunday night's Vikings-49ers game that, when Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, guard Steve Hutchinson, and defensive end Jared Allen showed up unannounced at Favre's house on Monday night, they tried to take him back to Minnesota then and there. (We had a feeling that there was some hog-tying and sack-stuffing involved.) But Brett refused, and he went to bed.
Deanna Favre told the good cop, bad cop, crazy-ass-mullet-headed cop trio that she didn't believe he'd go with them at all. Favre now claims that, if he'd known they were coming, he would have left.
The next day, he changed his mind and decided to play.
It's a great story. It would be even better if the folks involved were telling the truth.
We still think that Favre knew they were coming. And we still think that Favre already had decided to return with them. And we definitely still think that, if months of indecision were resolved in one night because three teammates came to his house and kissed his ass, the 40-year-old gunslinger has the mentality of a 14-year-old girl.
