Time to eat humble pie. Or take my foot out of my big, fat mouth. Brett Favre had another fine game, and the Vikings are 11 and 2. So much for my August prediction, which you can read right here and laugh at my deficient clairvoyent powers. Looks like I wrote the old guy off too soon.
See, I said back in August that Favre just didn’t have it anymore. I said that his mere presence prevented the Vikings from moving forward, much like the old-timers at work who refused to stay retired when they were clearly past their prime.
Well, Brett Favre is not past his prime. He’s thrown for over 3,300 yards, with 27 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. With those numbers, he can probably play for as long as he wants. So maybe he’s the exception to the rule, and can continue to perform at a high level.
Mr. Favre, I stand corrected.
