The attraction of playing in another Super Bowl back to Brett Favre in the NFL – again.
Favre joined his teammates in Minnesota Vikings practice Wednesday. The three-time MVP was wearing a helmet, shoulder pads and red shirt change while working with Minnesota for the first time since the introduction of New Orleans as the Vikings lost the championship game of the NFC January.
“When we seemed to lead to this last trip, as was the fate – have been for us,” Favre said. ”I was so close, so close to these guys get the Super Bowl.”
Instead, Favre has filed a complaint at the last minute of regulation. The Vikings did not return the ball in overtime.
“I owe to this organization to try again,” said quarterback.
It is not that always come to a season of 20 was an easy decision.
“It could be a case to play with them, not to play,” Favre said. ”It’s a very good team. The possibilities (of going to the Super Bowl) is much more important here than elsewhere. In this perspective, was always going to be easier (the return).
“Part of me said it was a great year, it would be easy to say,” Hey, you can not play better, why try? ”Then, on the other, is,” The kids are playing at a high level. Why I can not go out again? “Expectations are high here, as it should be.”
Expectations are always high for Favre, even in the 40th is the head of the NFL in almost all major categories of crossing and the Marshal of the most successful season ever.
After a time away from training camp as he did most of the last two summers, Favre has been practicing less than 24 hours after the team sent Steve Hutchinson, Ryan Longwell, Jared Allen – three closest friends - in Mississippi to bring him back. Favre suffered a left ankle May 21 and just weeks texted several Vikings players and officials, not to return, because the recovery has been slower than expected.
He is back.
“There is nothing for me that 100 percent. There were more than 100 percent last year or the year before,” Favre said. ”The surgery makes me a little better.
“I’ve played only 309 games, I can not complain.”
Coach Brad Childress is happy to have, even with the pain and discomfort.
“It was obviously a big part of what we can afford the Council last year. A matter of time. We wanted to come back,” Childress said. ”It does not want that support, which was, want him back.”
Favre returning to the field came on the first anniversary of the day he signed a two-year contract with the Vikings of $ 25,000,000.
In a scene almost identical to his arrival in August of last year, Favre took a private jet in Hattiesburg on Tuesday by helicopter was a new airport in suburban headquarters of the team and was greeted by dozens of fans and members of the media upon arrival.
“The helicopters are still acting like OJ.” Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe foot. ”Where is the Bronco.
The big difference between this year and last year? His contract with the Vikings – NFC North rivals Green Bay landmark – was an unexpected change of direction.
This time, almost everyone expects the quarterback, stop flirting with every summer to return.Favre later jokes focused on the ankle, that New Orleans was injured and required surgery. It is the third consecutive year, the Vikings have addressed questions about Favre – Minnesota became a target when he rose from a year with the Jets – were not convinced he was ready.
Now is the time to see if the old man again.
The grizzled Favre in one of the best seasons in a shot at the big race last year, threw 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions for the Vikings in the NFC title track to the north. He threw for 310 yards and a touchdown against the Saints in the Superdome, but that fateful interception.
After Allen, Hutchinson and Longwell, flattered Favre is still a chance for redemption and a second Lombardi Trophy together.
Although it is supposed to return the same enthusiasm that surrounded last year’s return on Tuesday. Fans clogged Viking Drive and the police tried to keep the air traffic control and adolescents, and television cameras the entrance of the street.
Last year, Childress and Favre took the airport. This year, Longwell was the driver, and fans in the crowd tried his black BMW car when it pulled into the driveway at Winter Park.
“Brett Favre for President!” Receiver Bernard Berrian foot.
You should now be happy with the quarterback.
Despite going on 41 October, Favre is not to take much time to warm up and ready for another season. He jumped all training camp last year before accession and the Vikings unretiring. The three-time MVP after a season did not even he expected.
He made a career best marks in completions percentage (68.4), black (107.2) and less intervention by throwing for 4202 yards. The Vikings (12-4) earned a bye the first round of the NFC playoffs, and Favre won the first quarterback in 40 years in postseason action with four touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
to limp bode well for the Vikings in 2010: Favre market – slowly – not Wednesday.
