PHILADELPHIA -- When it was over, once Joe Webb and his going-nowhere Vikings had pulled off the 24-14 upset of the playoff-bound, division-champion Eagles, interim Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier said Brett Favre would be his starting quarterback Sunday if Favre is healthy. Frazier is required to say this, we believe, by a clause in Favre's contract that requires whoever happens to be coaching the team to profess unerring loyalty to the 41-year-old grandfather, long after evidence proves such loyalty senseless. But the unfortunate thing about the latest bit of farcical Favre drama appearing in Tuesday night's postgame news conference was that it threatened to take away from Webb's big night as Minnesota's starting (and winning) quarterback.Not that any of that bothered Webb.
"If he wants to play, he can play," Webb said. "He's Brett Favre. Brett did a great job with me tonight, too. He gave me tips on the sideline as he watched the game. I took those tips and ran with them."
