The Minnesota Vikings are ready for Brett Favre, at least according to Vikings.com. The team's official website Tuesday landed on a splash page, featuring Favre's face and the message, "Are you ready 4 some football?"
The website change came before any contract was announced between Favre and the Vikings.
The Vikings are also ready to start making money off their newest arrival, with prominent links on Viking.com to buy Brett Favre No. 4 jerseys and purchase season tickets. "Get tickets for this historic season," the site declared.
Third-string quarterback John David Booty took the practice field Tuesday in Eden Prairie wearing a No. 9 jersey, losing his regular No. 4 to Favre.
Favre turned heads by walking out onto the practice field himself at 1:29 p.m. Tuesday in a red No. 4 jersey.
Favre's player information page on Vikings.com was also ready to go Tuesday, with a purple background, but no data added.
