Just in case you missed it, Brett Favre retired again.

This gave Tarvaris Jackson the opening he needed to win back his starting job at a time when Sage Rosenfels was looking sub par according to Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star/Tribune.

However Tarvaris Jackson went down with another injury, blowing his opportunity to take over as leader once again.

I know what you are thinking, get Favre.

My gut tells me, get Favre.

However after riding the Favregate roller coaster for the past several weeks I'm ready to get off.

The Favre roller coaster has left me with a spinning head, and I feel sick to my stomach.

The Vikings need to move on without Favre, and possibly without Tarv for a while.

I'm inclined to say the Vikings should look at Michael Vick, but they need to let Favre retire with dignity now.

After looking at the home-based-care.com's list of the best nursing homes in Mississippi, we would like to recommend that instead of Brett checking into Vikings camp, he can check into the Lakeside Living Center, in Quitman, Mississippi.

It is a five star facility, near a high school.
