Last night I couldn’t find the video, but I have it for you today. For those of you who might have missed Brett Favre last night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (or those of you who may want to watch it again), here you go, courtesy of Hulu.
So how about it, Brett? One more year?
Here are a few more articles if you want to read other opinions of Favre’s appearance on the Tonight Show:
Will Brett Favre play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2010? Jay Leno asked that, but unsurprisingly didn’t get an answer. I tried to find a video for you guys, but of course it’s still pretty early to be trying that (the segment aired about an hour ago).
As expected, Favre didn’t reveal anything on the Tonight Show.
Leno was prepared, though. He gave Brett a retirement gift and wished him a happy retirement, then immediately told him “Welcome back for one more year.”
It was a pretty fitting way to end a segment with Brett Favre.
I realized tonight, though, that my personal struggles with dealing with the NFC championship loss must be behind me, because when Favre came on the screen… I’ll admit it… I lit up like a kid in a candy store.
I think it’s kinda funny. On November 1 Favre himself will be returning to Green Bay. I’m really anxious to see what the crowd reaction is going to be as Favre leads the Vikings to a victory in his old home!
If you’ve been paying any attention to the internet lately, you know that there’s a lot of mixed feelings about the fact that Brett Favre is a Minnesota Viking. Some people think it’s great, and some people think it’s impossible to root for an ex Packer (poor, poor Ryan Longwell).
Personally, I think that once a player puts on the Purple, he’s one of us.
But I get to share my thoughts all the time in this blog. I want to hear from YOU.
Lianna Barvish, a “fan” of the Viking Ship on Facebook (for some reason I feel conceited when I call someone a “fan”… I wish they were just called “friends” or something like that) gave me her opinion through the facebook page:
The truth is im incredibly upset about Favre coming to the vikes! Ive spent my entire football watching life (17 years) watching the vikes do their best to destroy the packers and now their long time ring leader is on our side. To me its a major disloyalty. Even if we do well because Favre, which isnt happening so far, in my heart it just wont be right.
Even though I don’t personally agree, I know there are lots of Vikings fans out there that do.
I posted this on the Content Quake site a while back, but I really like the video, and since Favre’s actually on the team, it almost changes the way I watch it.
Maybe this is what was going through Childress’s mind last Monday when he called Brett…
