Though any bit of evidence strengthening the connection between quarterback Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings fairly should be regarded at this point as redundant and obvious and predictable (and, well, nauseating), Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Favre and his wife placed a $30,000 deposit last week on a condo near 50th and France in Edina.
Previously, there were rampant rumors that Favre had purchased a house near the team’s headquarters.
Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, also represented the late Steve McNair, who’ll be buried on Saturday in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Thus, it’s unlikely that Favre will formalize his looming relationship with the Vikings this week. Instead, look for something to be announced between July 13 and July 17 -- especially since single-game tickets to this year’s slate of Vikings’ home games will go on sale July 20.
Meanwhile, anyone who hopes to buy tickets to the October 5 home game between the Vikings and the Packers also will have to buy a ticket to the August 2 preseason game against the Chiefs.
