Madden Considering Comeback For Love Of the Favre

John Madden of Raiders, Announcer, and Video Game fame is considering a comeback because his "love of the Favre" is still so strong. Madden built a good chunk of his announcing career on the foundation of his undying man-crush on Brett Favre. "I thought Brett Favre was going to retire," said Madden, "With no Brett, BOOM, no Madden!" And so John tossed in the towel on his announcing career, parked the Madden Cruiser in his driveway, and threw on the car cover. "I just didn't want to continue without Brett in the league, he's my everything."

But then Brett pulled a Favre and unretired...twice. In 2008, Favre joined the New York Jets after then-coach, Eric Mangini, promised to name his first born son after the great Brett Favre. Then in 2009 after months of speculation and flip-flopping, Favre agreed to join Brad Childress and the Minnesota Vikings for a bit. So far this year, Favre is completing almost 70% of his passes and has only thrown 3 interceptions as opposed to his normal 85 per season. The Vikings at 10-1 and Favre has hucked 24 TD's. Yes, the world will end in 2012 because of Favre.

The Vikings have really come into stride with Favre at the helm. Adrian Peterson is as potent as ever and receivers like Sidney Rice and Visanthe Shiancoe are really coming into their own. On the flipside, the Vikings defense looks pretty damn good. Their defensive line alone is causing all kinds of trouble for opposing offenses. I like them to go all the way to the Super Bowl from the NFC, perhaps the only team who can keep up would be New Orleans.

With Favre looking like he's 25 again, Madden is considering stocking the cruiser up with Turduckens and Thunderbird Wine boxes and heading out on the road again. "I mean, if Favre can do it, I should be able to down some giblets and get back to my A game, BOOM!" exclaimed Madden before shotgunning a Pabst. He added, "If I could have an entire team of Favres, I would go to the superbowl every year. I just need to get in announcing shape, which means limbering up the ol' jowls, getting my booze tolerance up to a 30 rack a day, getting fit for a new tupee."
