Favre’s gonna be all purple.

Headline: Brett Favre is coming back for more.

The 39-year-old quarterback turned his back on retirement for the second time in as many years, agreeing Tuesday to play for the Vikings.

Favre took a morning flight on a team plane from Mississippi to Minnesota, arrived to cheering fans outside the team’s practice facility and was in a helmet and pads less than 90 minutes later. His red practice jersey was the familiar No. 4, the same number he wore for years with the rival Green Bay Packers.

The team confirmed a deal was done to The Associated Press, but terms were not immediately disclosed.

This picture is running all over the place:

And check out what comes up at the Viqueens home page:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Nothing will ever interfere with my hero-worship of Brett Favre. But. He signs with the Viqueens, and I’ll be cheering to see somebody big wearing a two-digit number starting with “9” land solidly on top of him sometime between noon and 3 p.m. on November 1, and I’ll be hoping to hear something snap.

Or maybe between 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. October 5. That would be okay, too.

Note: I’m getting a lot of hits on this post, possibly because this picture comes up in the first page of images on a Brett Favre google search:
