Super Bowl and Favre Watch 2010

The Super Bowl is set, Indianapolis and New Orleans survive to meet in Miami. The Jets did pose a threat to the Colts at least until after halftime. Mark Sanchez played a good game but he's not Peyton Manning. Manning's three touchdown passes helped the Colts rally from an eleven point first half deficit. The Saints won although they probably were not the better team Sunday night. Five Vikings turnovers will work in your favor. At the end of the first half when Reggie Bush committed the lone Saints turnover when he muffed a punt deep in his own territory it looked like the Vikings were poised to take control. However Bret Favre decided to return the favor and give up a fumble of his own. With the game tied and the clock ticking late in the fourth quarter Favre threw a careless interception to blow a shot at a field goal attempt. Of course the preceding penalty for twelve men in the huddle didn't help either. So the Super is set on to the next topic, Bret Favre's next retirement. The questions have already started. Will he stay or will he go? Can he handle another year? last yeas he said he couldn't but eventually changed his mind for another shot at another title. Teammates have said they enjoyed playing with Favre and they want him back even if it means he'll skip training camp. His post game comments would lead one to believe he was ready to retire. Although we have seen this before. We can expect Bret to go back and forth a few times before he finally makes a decision. When he makes a decision public he might still change his mind too. If he does retire what does it mean for the Vikings? Will they be back to the same quarterback situation as before Favre or do they draft another? Well either way they will probably be okay. The Packers and Jets both found life after Favre. There are a few decent quarterback prospects in this years draft so start scouting because this might just be the year he really retires.
