Fast forward: it's November 1st 2009. The Vikings are 5-2 and coming off a crushing victory over the reigning champion Steelers. They're playing at Lambeau field. It's 16 degrees when the loud speakers echo throughout the frozen tundra "At quarterback number four. Brett Favre."
Some fans throw snowballs, others cheers enfatically, some swear and curse at the maurder, while others are just in shock to see this soap opera unfold right in front of their very eyes.
For this is the first time Farve has played in Lambeau donning a jersey other than the Packers.
We are all sick of the hype, but there isn't a football fan or journalist amongst us who cannot deny they would be very intrigued to see Farve take on his former team. Just imagine if you're sick of the hype now what the weeks leading up to the game would be like? Oy vey.
As a Viking fan I'd love to see it. The Vikings have the pieces in place to really challenge the wide open NFC -- even if the Williams Brothers are suspended four games -- this team, like few others, is a quarterback away from domination.
Is he in it to win it? Is it revenge he seeks? But could anyone truly play this game while not having their heart (or shoulder) in i? I think Farve has his intentions in the right place, but the thoughts keep popping up why would he go through this -- again?
Fast Forward: It's November 1st. Fourth quarter. Packers winning 21-17. Eight seconds to go. Two yards out. Farve, play action fake to Peterson. Rocket pass to Berrian. VIKINGS WIN! His legend continues to mystify us...but does he Lambeau leap like he has so many times before?
We shall see by the end of the week.
