ESPN radio confirmed this morning that the St. Louis Rams, having lost Bradford to a season-ending knee injury, made an unexpected move to guarantee their descent to the bowels of the basement. They called Brett Farve and asked him to not only come out of retirment and quarterback the Rams, but to do it for Monday Night Football against the Seahawks.
Rumor has it that Farve, who is currently enjoying his farm back home in Mississippi, categorically declined the offer, but then left the door open, saying: "I couldn't be ready for Monday. It would take weeks to be ready."
Will he take the offer? It could be one of the best Doormat moves in history. Congratulations to the Rams' front office for this daring move.
I guess they got the idea from the Viking's moves last week, but have upped the ante considerable. The competition is really heating up.
ReplyDeleteNext thing you know, Matt Millen is going to take over the Steelers. They've won two in a row. They've got to DO something.
