LEGENDARY QUARTERBACK BRETT Favre made his NFL comeback with the Minnesota Vikings after one of the longest transfer sagas in recent NFL history.
The Mississippi native made a brief cameo in the Vikings’ pre-season 15-10 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, spiking NBC ratings overnight.
Favre will be 41 next month, and has delayed his retirement for one year to play with the Vikings- whom he led to within one game of the Superbowl last year. Favre also won one Superbowl- XXXI in 1997- with the Green Bay Packers.
The former Packers, New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons player has been selected in the Pro Bowl team eleven times in an eighteen-year career.
“The expectations are high here, as they should be,” Favre told The Guardian when he announced his new Vikings contract, “from my standpoint, I can’t make any guarantees, never would. I’m just going to do everything I can to help this football team. I spoke with the guys this morning. I think they know I’m sincere and honest. The bottom line is winning. I’m not here to set any records. People say: ‘You can do this, you can do this.’ I’ve done it all. There’s nothing left to prove. I’m here to have fun and help these guys win.
