Farve to the Vikings

Let me be one of the first to say that I am really excited about this whole thing. The Vikings may have just become the team that I am most excited to watch after the Chargers. That being said let's reset this whole thing....2 years ago Brett Farve announces his retirement - summer ends and we are still talking about him possibly playing for the Packers - season starts and he has been traded to the Jets and gets the starting spot (obviously). He has a great season (I do have to say that San Diego still crushed them on Monday Night Football)but by the end of the season he has an arm injury and throws an alarming amount of interceptions in the last few games and misses the playoffs. Again he announces that he is going to retire, but speculation starts that he is going to sign with the Vikings. Vikings give him a deadline to decide, then extend their offer longer, Farve then decides that he is going to stay retired and everybody is excited to not hear about this situation anymore. Only 3 weeks later and here we are Brett Farve is a Viking!!! Local radio stations refused to talk about it because they are tired of it, but I wonder if I am the only one craving a discussion on the new development so I have talked to a couple local Green Bay fans already and they don't seem bitter at all...they still like Farve and have no hard feelings that he will be playing for their division rival (Remember when Karl Malone switched to the LA Lakers). The NFC North is going to be an exciting division to keep an eye on...2 big time QB's signed this year in Brett Farve and Jay Cutler. Ain't it Great!
