Quarterback Brett Favre
has decided to join the
Philadelphia Eagles. The
one-time Green Bay Packer
MVP and Super Bowl
champ followed his
Packers career with a year
with the New York Jets and
then a year with the
Minnesota Vikings, where
he reached the NFC championship
game.
The Philadelphia Eagles
will trade Donovan
McNabb along with head
coach Andy Reid for the
future Hall of Fame quarterback.
“After a long run with
Donovan and Andy we feel
Brett would fill our quarterback
and head coach
positions in the direction
we want to go,” Eagles
Owner Jeffrey Lurie said in
regards to the trade.
Favre will groom young
quarterback Kevin Kolb,
who is famous for being a
bullfighter during his off
season.
“I am no bull, Kevin is
going to really have to
work hard to keep up with
me, I may be a little older
but I still got some fuel left
in my tank,” Favre said in
regards to Kolb studying
and training with him.
The Philadelphia fans
seem to be excited about
the new quarterback and
what Favre will bring to
the table.
“Finally we got Brett, I
also knew he would be a
great player for us, but a
great coach too, what a 2
for 1 special that is,”
Philadelphia native and fan
DJ Jazzy Jeff said.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie is
getting quite a deal on
Favre.
As a quarterback, he
signed a one-year deal with
options for the next ten
years. Each year is guaranteed
to have as much time
as he wants to think about
coming back.
Favre can think about this
decision at a lake house in
Mississippi, paid for by the
Eagles. Favre is also guaranteed
two steak dinners
and 100 hours of ESPN
drama discussing his possible
return or retirement.
In addition to Favre and
Kolb as quarterbacks, the
Eagles also have former
Atlanta Falcon star
Michael Vick. Vick has
made tremendous progress
since being released from
federal prison on dog fighting
charges. Vick recently
just purchased a puppy, a
female Maltese named
Snowflake.
“I love having Snowflake
around, I get to put little
ribbons in her hair and
walk her in the park, she
really puts a smile on my
face, and I have a newfound
love for dogs,” Vick
said in regards to him
becoming a different type
of dog owner.
“Kevin and Michael will
excel under me as their
coach, who knows how
long I will be around for
but I promise the city of
Philadelphia the same thing
I promised the four other
cities I played in, that I am
here to win,” Favre said in
closing in his press conference.
