Feeding Brett Favre's Hunger

Have you ever been hungry for something in particular late at night, but the place where you can get it is closed? Like a Five Guys burger and fries. So then you end up eating something else instead? Like a Celeste Pizza from your freezer.

It tastes OK because you were hungry, but since it's not what you wanted, you're left with an empty feeling and an unsatisfied craving.

Well, with Brett Favre, that late night craving was the Minnesota Vikings.  Last offseason, all he wanted to do was join the Vikings, who many assume are just a solid quarterback away from a Super Bowl.  Instead, he got a pizza that you cook on a weird "crisper frisbee."

Don't get me wrong Jets fans, I like Celeste Pizza as much as the next guy, and to some people, it would be the perfect late night food, but when you're thinking of something else, it just doesn't cut it. (Perhaps Mark Sanchez will like it better.)

And much like the pizza, the Favre-Jets combo was OK, but it would appear that both sides were left with an empty feeling at the end of the regular season when the Jets came up short of the playoffs. 

So here we are, a year later.  And nothing should stand in the way of Brett Favre and his double burger with bacon and cheddar, with a bag full of greasy fries and some peanuts while he waits. 

Give him a contract.  Let him play for the Vikings and make a run for the Super Bowl. 

Is he old? Yes.

Is he not the same caliber of player he has been in the past?  Yes.

Is he a jerk for asking to be cut by the Jets because he's "retired" only to start the grumblings of yet another unretirement?  No.

He's hungry.  We've all been hungry before. 

Now let him get what he was craving and see if it's as good as he imagined.
