It isn’t every day that a Cleveland Browns home opener is on the national radar.  But thanks to Brett Favre’s unwillingness to just give up already, he will likely man the Minnesota Vikings on opening day.

In what seemed to have been a tailspin over the last 24 hours, we heard rumors from Fox’s Jay Glazer that ultimately resulted in Favre getting a GPS unit imbedded into his skull where we can follow his flights and pen strokes.  We now get word that the reported two-year deal with the Vikings (that will likely end up just like the “two-year deal” with the Jets) will net Favre $12 million.  It will also net football fans outside of Minnesota a giant headache, that likely wont end until this time next season.

The gunslinger will get to test his arm against the not-so frightening defense of the Browns on week one.  Favre is coming off of a span of games that saw him throw 10 interceptions in the final six weeks.  In fact, there were only three games last season in which Favre did not throw a pick.   

The Browns, on the other hand, not only look to break their string of consecutive week 1 losses, but they get to do so in front of a media circus headed by none other than Brett Favre.  The spread leading into the game was Vikings (-3).  We’ll have to see if this changes now that the cagey veteran is back under center.
