People are up in arms at the suggestion that anyone is even remotely trying to nudge Brett Favre out of retirement. Personally I find it amusing.
I think people secretly enjoy it, the same way they like Basketball Wives and Kim Kardashian.
For the record Michael Vick is down with Brett Favre taking his talents to Philly.
Following the report that the Eagles have some interest in bringing the 41-year-old signal-caller into the fold, Vick tweeted the following on Sunday:
“I would be honored to have Brett Favre as a backup. That will be amazing learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career.”
Vick was very clear when he said “BACKUP”.
It is unlikely that Favre will come back, but this is Brett Favre we are talking about so don’t be shocked if the rumors persist.
