So...last week I talked about how much I love Brett Favre. This week I'm almost ashamed to admit it. Three interceptions, a fumble that was returned for a touchdown and a quarterback rating of 44.3, there was no way I could look a Vikings highlight directly in the ey

e. With his fourth interception of the season, Favre is more than half way to his total of seven interceptions from last season. But I have to stick with my man for at least one more week. He cant go three and out, can he? He's going up against the Detroit Lions for crying out loud. Certainly he can get me more than negative seven fantasy points this week.
On a more positive note, my all time favorite quarterback is finally getting a chance to turn back the clock and prove to football fans that he still has what it takes to run all over an opposing defense. That's right, Michael Vick is back and he is starting. I finally have a reason to be excited about football again! In his first start since 2006, Vick dominated the Lions defense. Passing for a surprising 284 yards and two touchdowns, Vick appeared to have earned the starting role in Philadelphia. Andy Reid thought otherwise. Until today, Reid was set to stick with Kevin Kolb, an unproven mess whose only successful appearance came against the Kansas City Chiefs

last season. Vick is clearly the better option and is no longer fit for the bench. He is hot right now and should continue to be successful against Jacksonville and Washington in the coming weeks. If Reid is smart enough to stick with Vick for the season, look for the week six match-up against the Atlanta Falcons, it will be the game to watch.
