Favre Madden Conspiracy Theory
Brett Favre will be coming back to the NFL again this year after signing with the Vikings. This immediately begs the question: How much is NBC paying him to come back?
Why is that question so prevalent? Because, dumbass, think about it. John Madden LOVES Brett Favre. Just do any combo of madden, favre, john, brett, popcorn machine, or turkduken on youtube and you will see that this is true. John Madden loves Brett Favre so much that he retired because he thought Favre was finally done. Now that Favre is returning Madden will undoubtedly want to return as well.
Now, who benefits from Madden returning? NBC of course. John Madden is the only announcer to ever drive ratings to football, so he is immensely important to NBC. Yeah, I know a lot of people hate madden, but a ton more love him. So while Favre’s official contract is in the 10-12 million range, I’m assuming his NBC payday to be at least twice that number.
Mark my words, John Madden will be back in the NBC booth by week 1 of the NFL season.

NBC will probably have to trade in the old bus as a “clunker” to get a new one with some sort of Favre memorabilia display.
