A Story of NFL Parody: Brett Farve Returns

Only 13 months ago he was emotionally declaring his retirement, fast-forward to the present and Brett Farve, after first refusing to squash the rumors about him wanting to return, now has destroyed semblance of the idea that he wants to stay retired. Perhaps even more important that Brett's proverbial spit in the face of the Packers' organization, is the opportunity for that Farve's potential return has created for a wide variety of teams. The Minnesota Vikings have the makings for what could the 2008 return of the Purple People Eaters but on the offensive side Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor would be complemented beautifully by Brett Farve lining up behind the center. The Balitmore Ravens will have a stellar defensive arsenal as usual but are left in quarterback dilema with the departure of Steve McNair are left with the daunting decision of choosing between the proven in his six years to be at best a back-up and Troy Smith, who while showing the desire to be a playmaker with his running ability, is limited by size issues that plague many small quaterbacks. The Arizona Cardianals have the possibilities of being a high powered offense with Anquain Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Farve and maybe even a resurgence of Edgerrin James. Adding Brett Farve into a off-season of big moves, the unpredictable rookies, and normal amount of parody that goes on in the NFL spells for a roller-coaster ride of a season.
