... North.

The Packers lack identity, Jay Cutler is just beginning to tear apart the Bears, and are the Lions even playing this year?

Then, on Aug. 18 2009, which will soon be day of infamy in Minnesota, the Vikings went and signed Brett Favre. Not only that, but the contract was worth $10-12 million.

This is bad on so many levels, but I'll start with the good.

Favre will put butts in the seats, as well as score fat TV contracts. Big money will be coming Minnesota's way.

Another good thing about the signing is it brings a dimension to the Vikings' offense that has been missing for a while: Arm Strength. Tavaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels were not going to give that in any form of the word or act. Favre can still wing it, and he now has an All-Pro at running back to back him up.
