Dear Outdoor Sports Addict,

I am responding to your request for information into why I have decided to return to the game of football and suit up for the Minnesota Vikings.

First of all, as you may not know, I am a devout member of the Seventh Day Adventists, and have been close to God for quite sometime. Before my signing with the Minnesota Vikings, I decided that I need to give more of my life to God, so I decided to correct all of my wrongs. I realized that I have caused so much pain to Viking fans and players, that I needed to repay them by helping their team and trying to lead them to a Super Bowl. Let’s just hope it doesn’t back-fire on me like last year did with the Jets. That could look bad.

My next reason was to help the economy. I know we are in a bit of a recession and since I have millions of dollars to spend, you might have noticed with all of the flying I do on my private jet, I feel like Minnesota would be a great place to start spending and helping the local economy. Wouldn’t hurt, right?

One of the most important reasons that I decided to sign with the Vikings is the color of the uniform. I am so in touch with many of my senses, that I feel I would look very stunning in purple. I feel like it is very masculine and could have a great effect on changing the way men perceive the color. I am even wanting to talk with Viking management in hopes that I could convince them to let us wear pink a few times, you know, to help support breast cancer.

In returning to the game, I am hoping to pad my stats even more. I am pretty much the most accomplished quarterback to ever play the game, but I feel like I could boost my numbers in the incerceptions column. That is if they let me throw the ball like I used to. Last year was one of my lowest in pass attempts. The Jets coaches just kept telling me they were saving my arm. So I guess that means I am ready to go this year.

But when it all comes down to it, I really keep coming out of retirement  every year, because I love the free publicity. I have never heard so many jokes and comments about me on Letterman or Leno. I have never seen so many dartboards in Wisconsin with my picture on them. I mean hell, I get more publicity than when Kobe Bryant rapes girls or Plaxico Burress shoots himself. It is the good life and I love livin it.

Look forward to next year’s antics. They should be good.

Sincerely,

Brett Favre
