You heard it here first. Brett Favre has agreed to come to terms with the Minnesota Vikings... under the condition that Vikings brass allow him to play this season not in standard NFL uniform, but in his trusty frayed Nike Golf hat, a sleeveless worn out purple t-shirt with a faded number 4 on the front, muddy Nike Shox with low-cut black socks, and an option for either khaki cargo pants or Wrangler bluejeans (depending on gametime temperature).
Vikings management has scrambled to set up meetings with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Reebok president Michael Samuels tomorrow to bargain for permission to have a player so egregiously out of uniform.
Favre has also expressly requested that the Vikings sign his hometown pal Gus McKeen, the guy who made that awesome catch diving into the mud in Favre's most recent Wranglers commercial. Favre feels the Vikings need to add a sure-handed possession receiver into the mix to be a true playoff contender, not to mention a guy who's willing to lay out and get a little dirty in less-than-ideal playing conditions.
Furthermore, Favre is negotiating for exclusive playcalling rights over Minnesota's offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Favre's offensive genius is demonstrated clearly in that Wrangers commercial... of course I'm referencing the fake-reverse, no look pitch that completely duped the opposing defense and resulted in a key conversion on 3rd and 4. Apparently, Favre just drew that play up in the huddle, he says he has tons more razzle dazzle drawn up after months of experimenting with daughters Brittany and Breleigh and laborador retreiver Cooper in the backyard.
