The Brett Favre Thing. Again.

So, he’s in Minny, and all are not happy, if Mike Florio at pft and Adam Schefter (now of espn) are to be believed. Schefter going so far as to quote one “informed source” as saying their is a “schism” in the locker-room. That last part lead to the rather high comedy of espnews last night providing a Webster’s definition of “schism”. Apparently the average espnews watcher is stupid.
At any rate, the inevitable pushback from Vikings world is underway today. Per Sporting News:
The reality is far different, based on conversations with players on the record and off the record. There’s nothing to suggest there’s any split. Coach Brad Childress and RB Adrian Peterson said they didn’t sense any widespread undercurrent of emotion in favor of Jackson. Jackson has friends on the team who want to see him succeed and have a productive career. That’s to be expected because Jackson is entering his fourth year and has relationships with teammates. But there’s a difference between friendships and business. The players are on board with Favre, whose leadership and knowledge of the West Coast offense give the team its best chance to win.
Oh.
Nothing to see here then.
Because it is soooo inconceivable that there might be resentment from Vikings players who just put in a full off-season of work followed by the training camp grind toward Brett Favre being a giant pussy who doesn’t want to work that hard at this point in his life but just wants to float in for the glory of games on Sundays?
Right.
