ShareThisQuarterback Brett Favre landing with the Minnesota Vikings this week was fodder for David Letterman's most recent Top 10 list.
The host of CBS-TV's "Late Show" had sport with Favre with his list Wednesday night and seemed to display some good local knowledge with a couple of the reasons (see Nos. 6 and 2).
Now, with that signature drum roll, here are the "Top 10 reasons Brett Favre came out of retirement":
-- 10. Blew his savings on a two-day taco binge.
-- 9. No reason to stay home every day now that "Guiding Light" has been canceled.
-- 8. Worried Obama's death panels might try to take him out.
-- 7. In this economy, someone offers you a job, you grab it.
-- 6. Wants to raise and then dash hopes of another city's fans.
-- 5. Couldn't' take another trip to Pottery Barn with his wife.
-- 4. Lured by a lucrative contract and free jar of Icy Hot.
-- 3. Concussions made me krazy!
-- 2. Who could resist chance to spend glorious winter in Minnesota?
