Although we are surrounded with Brett Favre news every year and every offseason when other players make little appearance, we just never get fed up with it. Favre do similar things on an annual basis, and each time there are a lot of media members offering what he needs to attract attentions.
While Brett Favre is enjoying the public attentions paid to him, the public and media are also enjoy hearing and creating more about the 40-year-old man. Admit it, we actually like to know whether he will return or retire in 2010. Even though things remain intriguing until the last moment, we just like to discuss about it. It’s not only the Vikings coaches and Favre’s teammates, but also we the news readers, who are willing to offer Favre enough time for making a simple decision. Many of us actually do not care whether Brett Favre jersey will appear on field again, but just have nothing else interesting enough to discuss about.
The only people that really care for Favre’s playing status could be the Vikings players and coaching staff, who need to know that information to carry out their plan for the new 2010 season. However, with or without Favre, they will still play and try their best to win as many games as they can. So, it’s only for fun to watch an annual Favre drama, just enjoy it.

WR Harvin may wear back Vikings jersey late with migraine
While most of his teammates have been ready to wear back their Minnesota Vikings jerseys for the team’s voluntary offseason workout program on Monday, wide receiver Percy Harvin is struggling with lingering migraine headaches and is putting off his returning time.
Despite the annoying headache, Harvin still managed to have a breakout rookie season and missed only one game. He sat out practices a bit often but the team still offered enough support to the rookie since drafting him from last year’s first round as they already knew about the headache issue when they made the choice. Harvin did not fail them and had a productive season with 790 receiver yards and 6 touchdowns. He is also having a productive offseason somewhat by gaining some weight.
Although Harvin has visited a number of doctors, it still seems unlikely that he would have any chance to get rid of the migraine headaches. Following certain treatment plan could help reduce some pain, but Harvin said he is ready to have to bear it for a long time and try to contain it as much as he can. He did not give the exact time when he could return to join his teammates for the team’s offseason program, but he has been working out on his own, so it could be taken for sure that he will wear back his Vikings jersey in time for the new season.

Vikings fans will have to spend more on tickets
The ticket prices for one of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2010 games will be $29 to $128 and even an average seat will cost $2.40 more than last season. Brett Favre has not made his mind to wear back Vikings jersey, but the team is confident that more fans will come to buy the tickets despite the price raise.
As one of the many teams that froze ticket prices a year ago, the Vikings this year becomes the third team in the NFC North to raise tickets prices. Last season the team created a frenzy for tickets by taking the arrival of Favre. And this year, the Vikings are coming off a trip to the NFC title game and the return of Favre is still possible, so tickets may be on hot sell again.
“While we could not realistically duplicate the flat pricing structure of last season, we wanted to make the increase as minimal as possible to acknowledge the commitment of our season-ticket owners,” Vikings chief marketing officer Steve LaCroix said. “We wanted to continue one of the NFL’s lowest priced season-ticket offerings at $29 per game, while keeping nearly 9,000 tickets priced the same or less.”
The other two teams who have raised tickets prices are the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. The Detroit Lions are the only team left motionless in ticket prices.

Those Impressed us most in Week 13
The number 13 should be a unlucky number for the Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre did managed to help the team to keep their second winning streak of the season. And the team who beat them did not beyong many people's expectation. The Arizona Cardinals rank ninth now and I guess they themselve did not expect to win over the Rank-3 Vikings.
The Pittsburgh Steelers gave their fans a really happy surprise when they was the first team to beat the Vikings. But from then on the team was again in slide. On Sunday night, the Super Bowl Champion was beaten by one of the league's worst team: the Oakland Raiders.
And unbeaten teams keep setting records. The Colts and the Saints seem determined to meet each other in the last game and they set a record together by making this season the first to have two teams remain unbeaten this late in a season.
It has been long we have not heard much of a player in Chargers jersey and running back LaDainian Tomlinson broke the silence about the Chargers by moving to eighth on career rushing list only one week after he moved to the 10th, and becoming the fastest player to achieve 150 career touchdowns.

Vikings won over Colts by 13-3
On Friday night's preseason opener, a lot of fans were there seeing Sage Rosenfels started for the Vikings against the Colts and help the team get a 13-3 victory.
Rosenfels led the team to all 13 of their points and the lone touchdown of the night which came from veteran running back Chester Taylor. Rosenfels had been 10 of 13 for 91 yards when it was just one quarter of play.
As for Tarvaris Jackson, who was competing with Rosenfels for starting job during offseason and training camp, he was just seven of 15 for 39 yards, partly because of knee injury he got during training camp. In next Friday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Jackson will probably play as a starter and show his stuff with the first team offense.

CB Winfield is near agreement on contract extension with the Vikings
Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield is close to his goal of getting a contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, but they still need time to have terms completed.
Winfield and his agent, Ashanti Webb, were expected to meet with team officials Wednesday afternoon to complete a multiyear deal that will keep the 10-year NFL veteran with the Vikings, with whom he has been since 2004. Winfield spent the first five years of his career with the Buffalo Bills, who took him in the first round (No. 23 overall) of the 1999 draft. He has no records of buying football jersey online.
Winfield made his first Pro Bowl last season by intercepting two passes and making 95 tackles. He was entering the final year of his six-year, $34.8 million contract. He didn't attend the Vikings' offseason workouts because of contract dispute, but he will be in training camp by July 30 in Mankato, Minn., because the Vikings indicated that he's close to finalizing his extension.
