Many people now believe that Brett Favre will return to the Minnesota Vikings to finish his NFL career with a 20th full season. I also believe that is very likely to happen in near future, but I just can’t help wondering, why is Brett Favre just so important to the Vikings and their plan for a Super Bowl winning season?
I read through a lot of articles about Favre and Vikings, and found that the belief of Favre leading Vikings to Super Bowl victory majorly came from people’s worship of the legendary quarterback. At age 40, what Favre can still do is nothing different from other 40-year-old man, but his very existence just can bring confidence back into our minds. We all believe that Favre was a greatest quarterback and the belief was solidified after Favre had his best season in 2009. The Vikings were so near to the Super Bowl with a starting quarterback in No. 4 Brett Favre jersey that their fans can’t help believing that the same quarterback could bring them the long-wanted Super Bowl championship as long as he is good health condition.
Then we came to the news of Favre’s surgery. According to reports, the surgery was had successfully and will allow Favre to move in larger range. That means Favre will be able to avoid attacks from opponent players with more smartness. What a exciting sign! Now I also believe that Favre will at least led the Vikings to a Super Bowl appearance in 2010 season.

Two Saints missed Super Bowl practice
The New Orleans Saints cornerback Randall Gay and reserve running back Lynell Hamilton both missed practice Friday respectively because of a stomach illness and sore left ankle. While Gay is still probable to play Sunday’s Super Bowl game against the Indianapolis Colts, Hamliton, missing all week’s practice with the injury, is questionable for the game.
And they were the only two players who missed the practice, the Saints’ final one before the Super Bowl game. The practice on the campus of the University of Miami lasted just under two hours and was their shortest workout of the week, not even at full speed. However, starting tight end Jeremy Shockey took every snap in most drills again despite a sore right knee.
According to Saints Coach Sean Payton, the Saints will have a midnight curfew Friday and an 11 p.m. curfew on Saturday. And they will put on their Saints jerseys to conduct a final walkthrough practice at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday.

Dwight Freeney again
Yeah we’ve talked enough about the Indianapolis Colts defensive end, but I guess it will never be enough for his fans, who is eager to know whether they are to see their beloved player in his Colts jersey on the field of the Sun Life Stadium in Miami during Sunday’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints.
I guess they will see. Just guess. Neither the player himself now the team sounds worried about Freeney’s availability for the game. Perhaps they are having some Plan B, but only the complete team that won the AFC champion by beating the New York Jets 30-17 could be called a perfect team to face the Saints on Sunday. Let alone all the information from the team that shows Freeney is in good recovery.
Freeney is to test his sore right ankle for the first time during Friday’s practice after getting enough treatment. Every time talking about the recovery, he always said “it’s better now” or “it is gradually improving.”
It’s no question Freeney will play. He was made to be questionable simply to confuse us, or confuse their opponent.

Colts DE Freeney missed practice along with CB Powers
As we had expected, the ankle injury did not allow the Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney to practice while the team had their first practice in South Florida. Among the 19 players the Colts listed on the injury report, Freeney and injured cornerback Jerraud Powers were the only two who sat out Wednesday’s practice.
Freeney, the All-Pro defensive end, has a torn ligament in his right ankle and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. And Powers had a left foot injury. While Freeney was not seen on the field, Powers was on the sideline in his No. 25 Colts jersey watching four-time league MVP Peyton Manning complete all nine passes and throw for a touchdown against the scout team’s nickel defense.
“We’ve played 22 games this year,” Coach Jim Caldwell said. “I want them to be nice and hungry come Sunday. If they need pads this time of year …”
Being asked whether Freeney and Powers are to play this Sunday, Caldwell said he was unsure. He did not expect Freeney to play the game but remained optimistic about Powers’ playing status.

AFC team beat NFC, but who cares?
The 2010 Pro Bowl game was played disappointedly one week before the Super Bowl. And as expected, the game was in lack of super stars, making it even more senseless to watch such a game which was supposed to be all-star but counts nothing anyway.
One week before the Super Bowl, the best players of the best teams of this season need rest to prepare for the most important game of the league. And among them there are previously selected all-star teams’ members. Some other players from other teams were picked to replace them, but other stars not members of the Super Bowl teams took injuries excuses to get out of the now all-stupid game. No Brett Favre, no Peyton Manning, no Drew Brees, no Philip Rivers.
Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans led the AFC team to a 41-34 win over the NFC team that was led by Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. So what? Anything matters? There are still fans in various NFL jerseys watching the game, but they did care much about the result. They were there mostly to watch the stars playing together, and they disappointedly found that there were much fewer stars as they had expected.
