Ladies and gentlemen, Favre can still play. You don't have an incredible season in 2009 and just all of a sudden collapse in 2010 without their being contributing factors to said collapse (I realized their are fluke seasons, but Favre has been "great" his entire career. Hence, the "first-ballot Hall of Famer" title).
With the lockout pushing the NFL offseason further into the summer, rookie quarterbacks have less and less time to learn their team's playbooks and prepare effectively.
But the one thing Favre wants no matter what right now is redemption…
…Favre is still better at age 41 than at least 41 percent of starting NFL quarterbacks. And he's likely 90 percent better than any other backup in the league.
I'm not saying I expect Favre to be on an NFL roster by Week 1. Somewhere along the line, though, when someone gets injured, or if someone struggles, Favre may very well get the call and once again return to the NFL.
Suck it, haters! There are plenty of teams that could use a little Favrosity in the upcoming season. Maybe a team with a brand new coaching staff and/or brand new young QB (San Francisco). A team that needs a PR score while trying to rebound from a bad season (Tennessee, Carolina, Arizona). A team on the edge of greatness that needs a tiny push (Tampa Bay).
Notice that those are all warm-weather teams, too.

What? The debt ceiling? You mean he isn't talking about Favre? Somebody’s talking about something other than Favre?
One should properly appreciate small favours.
