Almost 40, but who would ever know?, Brett Favre has the Vikings thinking championship, and who can blame them?

He claimed there were butterflies, but there sure didn’t appear to be any.

He stressed this was another great win for his new team, but it sure felt like more.

The Vikings won the game 30-23.

But it was Brett Favre who proved something tonight.  He’s not just along for the ride.  The Vikings are officially on his back.  Dynamite running back or not, feared defense or not, Favre was brought in to elevate the Vikings to another level, and at 4-0 they look like a completely different team.  The man has still got it.  His accuracy is still pinpoint, and let it be known once again, that he sure doesn’t look like an old man.

The Vikings laid all their eggs on his arrival.  They took the gamble that he was what they needed.  So far they look brilliant.

Divided locker-room?  Ha!  Sage who?  Tavaris what’s his face?

I hate to say it but the Vikings look brilliant.  I hate to admit it but Favre looks great.  Minnesota hosts a play in game tomorrow in the Metrodome when the Twins and Tigers clash, but tonight felt like a playoff game.  The atmosphere was electric and the game lived up to the hype.

Favre zinged the ball all over the field, displaying precision and the same elegant touch that has made him so great.  He’s got receivers now, and everyone is joining in on the fun.  Adrian Peterson gets the headlines, but that kid Rice has got wheels and appears to be a heck of a talent. Percy Harvin is young, and that line, man, he had all day to throw!

The Vikings have a veteran team, but not an old team.  Minnesota has a smart coach, but not a delusional one.  The season is young, but those Super Bowl pipe dreams in Minnesota are anything but. The Vikes are 4-0, Favre’s jersey is the number one seller in the league, and Minnesota is making all kinds of national headlines.  They brought Favre in to win a Super Bowl, something which will ultimately be decided later on.  But for now, the magic carpet ride in Minnesota shows no signs of slowing down, so long as number four stays healthy.

Brett Favre, we were wrong about you.

You still gots it.  And I don’t know how.
