Posted on September 30, 2009 by Bretts_BFF

Brett Favre Minnesota Vikings – a Minnesota Viking?! – is a blog aimed at providing a single destination for all of your Minnesota Viking and Brett Favre information needs. Sprinkled throughout the day will be comments on the rest of the National Football League events, some college football and just general random thoughts.

Meant to be a mental escape during your day, you can expect a unique blend of insight and analysis coupled with wit and satire as only true Viking fans would understand after years of oh-so-close Super Bowl runs, “Straight Cash Homey” and relaxing sunset Love Boat cruises.

We hope you enjoy the site, and make it your home for Minnesota Vikings info! Comment early and often. Our goal here is to facilitate feisty yet light-hearted dialogue and debate about all things Vikings … including Brett Favre.
