Favre lands in Minnesotta

In other news - Tiger Woods is black. I just figured if we were making headline news with stories that are as obvious as the color of the sky, I'd drop a bombshell regarding the race of the world's number ranked golfer.

Of course he landed at Vikings training camp. He wants to play. He will play. He will be successful, just like last year, and he was able to miss a large part of training camp, again, in 2010: same as 2009.

Look, when you are arguably one of the greatest players in the history of a sport, I think it seems pretty obvious that Vikigns brass should just tell him from the get-go "Look, Brett. We want you back. You don't have to come to training camp, until the very end. Then you can drop in, act injured, joke with the fellas, and be ready by the first game. You've earned that right."

Would it be fair to require the league's best runner, Adrian Peterson, to come to camp, but not Brett Favre? Of course it would. When Peterson passes Emmett Smith as the league's all time leading rusher, and still performs at a Pro Bowl level, I am sure Vikings coach Brad Childress will be happy to cut him the same slack Favre gets. We're talking about one of the game's top 5 QB's of all time. He knows how much time he needs to get ready, and his 33 TDs last year were proof-positive that an entire 8 week training camp isn't mandatory for a guy whose spent the better part of 2 decades playing the game.

At least if Minnessotta would acknowledge publicly that they don't expect Favre unilt late August each season, the folks at ESPN and the NFL Network could sleep better at night. Or at least focus on something else. I mean serisouly, has Ed Werner taken up residence inside Favre's butthole, or is he just renting space? Although, after the stinker from Favre during last year's NFC title game, I hope Ed got a discounted rate....
