Random Thoughts...

Which is less shocking news? Brett Favre says he wants to play for the Vikings next year, Sammy Sosa tested positive for steroids in 2003, or that ESPN thinks that both of these are "big news"?

Also, what is the deal with Minnesota fans nicknaming all of their pro athletes after Jesus? Purple Jesus? Baby Jesus? What is their nickname for Favre going to be? Got any ideas? Sometimes I wonder if Nostradamus was just a huge "future NFL" football fan and maybe he warned us of this event, and had an idea of his own... the third Anti-Christ as described by Nostradamus:

"The Antichrist will be a charismatic world leader." Brett Favre was a very charismatic leader who captured the hearts of Packer fans (and Madden) for years. Now, it seems he has done the same with Vikings fans.

"He will come as a man of peace." Favre insists he just loves the game and wants to play and has no intentions of revenge against the Packers.

"He will present himself as good and righteous" He certainly has done that over the past 2 years.

"He will make himself the most powerful man on earth" ESPN will write about anything as minor as him getting a hangnail. The Vikings would be heavy favorites to win a division, conference, and maybe even a Superbowl.

Nostradamus also talks about the name MABUS being associated with the Anti-Christ. There are a few interpretations of who this is. Some say it is an important person with power who falls just before the era of the actual Anti-Christ. Most people know Favre is from Mississippi. The governor of Mississippi was Ray Mabus until the year 1991. The very next year in 1992, Brett Favre became the starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Coincidence?

Another interpretation is that MABUS is a code for the name of the third Anti-Chirst. A Japanese mathematician actually took each number equivilent to each letter of the name and divided those numbers by the number four. When he placed the new numbers with their corresponding letters, it spelled "Favre". Now that's just scary.

So there you go. I know... way too much work for a really bad joke. Hey, I had nothing else to do.
