Vikings fans can breathe easier. "Favre" will be on the back of the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback's jersey for this weekend's pivotal game against Dallas. It just may not be the Favre fans are used to seeing.
In a surprise move, the Minnesota Vikings have signed Brett Favre's wife, Deanna, for the rest of the season. The decision to sign her was based on this throw that she delivered to her husband during Vikings' practice on Thursday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONSR_45O-dc.
Brad Childress, the Vikings head coach, praised Mrs. Favre's arm strength and accuracy. "If Brett's elbow won't let him go, then, I think, we have a great Plan B, or Queen B if you will, in Deanna. The ball she hit Brett with was delivered from about forty yards out. She threw it with pinpoint accuracy and with a lot of zip. Deanna should be fine on go routes to Randy [Moss] and slants with Percy [Harvin]."
Childress did not let on if he was worried about the passing game suffering with someone so new playing quarterback. "I'm not really worried about interceptions. You've seen who we normally have back there. I love Tavaris Jackson, but he isn't really very accurate, so yes, I really think Deanna can help us win if she plays."
When asked about the prospect of playing, Mrs. Favre only said she hoped for lots of shotgun formations instead of traditional sets.
