Commentary: Vikes need Favre but distrust his motives
In Hattiesburg and Minnesota coverage, Brett Favre says he will return to the Vikings only if his left ankle improves. He has driven off with a bike in the truck, signaling possible prosthetic use while contract talks swell to as much as 20 million for 2010. He denies texting retirement plans and hints battles over pay. The piece portrays Favre as a self serving, shrewd influencer who both sustains the team’s hopes and manipulates media and teammates. The Vikings reportedly raised his deal while avoiding a formal request. Favre’s ankle is a recurring delaying factor, mirroring a public fascination with a legendary yet controversial athlete.
