Brett Favre has not made his decision on whether to retire of continue wearing NFL jerseys as one of the oldest player of the league. Well, what people are concerning most about is that whether he will stay with the Minnesota Vikings. Those who wants him to stay believes that Favre’s staying means more than just wins and losses.
Favre not only led the Vikings to their most successful season on the field in more than a decade, his presence was a boost to everything from the team's box office and merchandise sales to sponsorship deals and its pursuit of a new stadium. His first year with the Vikings has been a marking year as he led the Vikings to 12 victories in regular season and NFC championship game against the New Orleans Saints.
It’s more than that. Favre’s existence also help the franchise earn much more money than ever. Favre's Vikings jersey was the No. 1 seller throughout the league, the ticket office was deluged with requests in the days following his signing in August and the team locked down some lucrative sponsorship deals that were sorely needed to offset the lack of revenue generated by the Metrodome.
Well, all are true, but I doubt whether he will be able to give as big influence in 2010 season. He turns 41 in 2010 and there are many potential star quarterbacks. And his trick of retiring and getting out of retirement could hardly work again.
