When I think of a 40 year-old, gray-headed hick from Mississippi, I picture a guy who might be good at nothing more than shootin’ some birds or hookin’ some catfish. However, my preconceived notions are being shattered this year by the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback, Brett Favre, as he is showing everyone that he still has more than a few good throws left in that legendary right arm.
When it comes to stats, Favre is arguably the best quarterback in the league. But when it comes to impact had on a team, Favre is in a league of his own. Favre’s presence in Minnesota is clearly the reason for the team’s success this year.
Of course the Vikings are stacked in almost every other position this year, but they were loaded with the same arsenal of all-star caliber players last year and only managed a respectable 10-6 record and a first-round playoff loss.
This season Favre and the Vikings are 9-1 and showing no signs of slowing down. Not bad for a guy who's only 10 years away from getting his AARP full membership card.
