Brett Favre mic’d up for his 300 straight game, last Sunday vs. Detroit. This guys gets it. That’s how you lead a team.

This video absolutely rocks…

I was just sitting here at home, with the kids in bed (Finally), drinking a few beers on a rainy Friday Night and surfing the web. Lame, I know. Anyway, I ran across a blog post from CBS Sportsline blogger “Vikes Fan For Life” and he/she was writing about Favre’s bailing, being good for the Vikings.

Huh?

Ya, I know, Favre can rot in Lambeau (Hell) and all that, but in the post, he/she brought up a good point,

“I have never seen the Minnesota Vikings get this much media exposer ever. They better a team is the better the chances a great free agent will want to come and play for us.”

Interesting. The fact that the Vikings were plastered all over the media for several months is true. So what does that mean?

It means that the Vikings have eyeballs watching them. They have fan interest peaked, and I personally cannot recall any other off season being so active with press clippings, rumors and news releases about the Vikings. This is good for the Vikings right?

“This whole Brett Favre thing could have just gotten quite a few of our players the attention they needed to make the Pro-Bowl and thats really cool.”

In World dominated by blogger, twitter and e-bay jersey sales, this means that the Vikings have attention. There is no guarantee that attention will equal player focus or performance on the field, but it certainly makes the Vikings outcome for the 2009 season an interesting story.

Waht do you think?
