What's Bugging Me is a weekly column posted by Dan Parzych at FantasyPros911.com
Last week, Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell traveled to Hattiesburg, MS, to watch Brett Favre perform a workout to determine how well his throwing arm was after shoulder surgery.
According to a report by Ed Werder on ESPN.com, Favre performed a workout that consisted of him throwing at least 100 passes.
The report also stated that Favre told Bevell and Vikings' head trainer Eric Sugarman that he wants to play for the Vikings this upcoming season. However, the decision will come down to whether or not he can manage to stay healthy to play a full 16-game season.
For the second year in a row, the NFL offseason was filled with an overwhelming amount of rumors surrounding whether or not Favre would come out of retirement and return to the NFL. The only difference this time is that he may be returning to play for the Vikings, instead of the New York Jets.
The talks surrounding Favre's possible return seem to be discussed more by the media than Obama's plan to get the country out of the current economic recession. No matter how many important headlines were going on in the sports world, SportsCenter would always find the time to make at least one update every day about the Favre situation.
The constant updates on whether or not Favre is returning to the NFL to play for the Vikings would be a great topic for this week's edition of "What's Bugging Me." However, this week's topic has to do with the team trying to convince him to return: the Minnesota Vikings.
According to reports from The Pioneer Press, there were rumors circling that Favre and his wife Deanna placed a $30,000 deposit on a condominium near 50th and France in Edina. If this rumor is true, it would be pretty obvious that Favre is planning to return to play for the Vikings. However, this still isn't what's bugging me this week.
What's bugging me about the whole Favre-Vikings situation involves ticket sales. If Favre would return to play for the Vikings this season, he would play the Green Bay Packers twice in 2009, the same team he played 16 seasons with and built his legacy around.
