The Brett Favre experiment isn't done yet, but so far, it has been a resounding success. So much so that the most overhyped team of the year got their asses handed to them. I'm willing to bet the Saints will be heavily favored amongst the pundits this weekend against the Vikings.
If the Vikes win next week, they have the chance to play the Jets in the Superbowl. That will be a huge story line. It almost feels like the stars aligned so Brett Favre can accomplish everything he's ever wanted. He broke a bunch of records again this season (my favorite being he's the only player to beat all 32 teams). He beat the Cowboys for the first time in the playoffs. His NFC championship game against the Saints is being played in the same dome where he won his Super Bowl ring. He grew up a Saints fan, so this is like a homecoming game, possibly his last. He had the best statistical year of his storied career. And if the Jets make it to the Superbowl, it's like a perfect scripted ending to the season. The only thing that would have made the playoffs more like a movie script is if the Packers had made it to the NFC Championship game.
I'm excited for next weekend. It can't come fast enough.

I am going to try to update my blog more often in the foreseeable future. Sorry I let it sit idle for so long. School had a strangle hold on me, but that is over. Bigger and better things are on the horizon. Stay tuned.

Well, I'm still subscribed to your RSS feed, so I was pleasantly surprised to see you update.
Looking forward to more, especially since we never hang out at work anymore. Except at store meetings.
Not sure how much longer I'll be doing that even... stay tuned.
