Minnesota Vikings Officially Sign Brett Favre To the Usual .4 Year Contract
by Brett Lay
The Minnesota Vikings made it official today, inking veteran quarterback Brett Favre to his usual .4 year contract for the 2010 season. The deal is very good for Favre, who will be payed million dollars for only being with the team from September through the end of December.
The contract states that starting in January he is free to revert, as has become customary, from the form of a future hall of fame quarterback to that of your mother playing QB at the holiday touch football game. He also gets to bypass the annoying offseason routine and training camp activities.
"I am very excited about this deal," said Favre at a press conference. "At my age, these unusual .4 year deals are the best. I can come in, play great in the regular season, and then throw some quick picks and send the team and myself home for the offseason. As you all know, for me, the offseason is what I really concentrate on nowadays. Will I come back, who should I text or tweet secret information to, practicing at various high schools. The offseason is what I really love, and with this short contract I can get the most out of it."
Favre has been a rogue gunslinger the past few years, signing a .2 year contract with the New York Jets after being unceremoniously released from Green Bay Packers. He performed great for the length of that contract too, leading the Jets to the best record in the AFC for the first 2 months, before things went to hell once his contracted time was up.
The Vikings remain hopeful that Favre will resign with them once the playoffs start, but it's looking doubtful at this time.

The contract is said to be million more than his scheduled contract. Favre would be making million guaranteed with potentially million more.
It will be interesting to see what Favre will do, and as we all know, he has no problem changing his mind. I won't believe Favre's retirement until Week One of the NFL season.
