With the Brett Favre saga finally ending with his continued retirement, many are wondering what the Minnesota Vikings will do next. Will the Vikings start shopping for a new quarterback? Is the team able to play without even using a quarterback? What if the team just closes up shop and fades into the ether?

Many are unaware, however, that the Vikings already have four quarterbacks on the roster. Sage Rosenfels, Tarvaris Jackson, John David Booty, and Sean Glennon are all viable options to step into the quarterback position… if they can be convinced that they exist and are actually a part of the team. These four quarterbacks have been ignored for so long that all of them are struggling to prove their existence, sometimes even to themselves.

Sage Rosenfels hasn’t been able to talk to Vikings head coach Brad Childress for eight months. “He [Childress] wouldn’t return any of my calls and looked right through me at training sessions,” Rosenfels told us during a phone interview on Tuesday. “I started questioning my own existence after a while. I tried to walk through the goal post once just to see if I could. It hurt a lot, but it proved to me that I am, in fact, real.”

Things were a bit different for Tarvaris Jackson. He didn’t even bother showing up to training because he thought he was no longer employed by the Vikings. “When the Vikings were courting Favre, my name was non-existence on any team media,” said a dejected Jackson. “I actually got a part-time job at local water park just to stay active. I started getting worried when no one coming up to the ride the “ThunderSwirl” even recognized me. It was quite humbling.”

John David Booty and Sean Glennon sympathize with Rosenfels struggles over existence, but were even harder hit by the Favre fever. “People thought we were just made up by Vikings PR to fill out the roster list!” Glennon angrily told us while he tossed a football back-and-forth with Booty. “Everyone thought my name was the Lucky Charm leprechaun’s real name! I keep on writing emails and trying to arrange press conferences to declare my existence, but everyone blows me off as some actor hired to keep the myth going!”

“Everyone thought I was some sort of pirate joke,” Booty added as he caught a tight spiral from Glennon. “The worst part, though, was that my parents started buying into the Favre hype and thought that they had just imagined me. My mom even had a restraining order put against me, and I had to hire an advocate to meet with her and compare her photo albums to mine. It was humiliating!”

With all of the hard feelings from the Vikings quarterback corps, the team might have a hard time gelling as a team. Only time will tell if…

What’s that? Favre is buying some Vikings apparel from a Mississippi Target store? Maybe his retirement isn’t over? Everyone hurry over to cover this event! Long live Favre!
