The Vikings have named Brett Favre one of their five captains. Favre signed with Minnesota just last month. The team also elected guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive tackle Kevin Williams, linebacker E.J. Henderson and kicker Ryan Longwell are the other permanent captains this season. "Chemistry is so important. I don't care how good of a player I may be [or] the next guy may be," Favre said earlier this week. "In this game of football, it takes 11. Being on the same page, the unit that plays more as one than as opposed to a bunch of individuals is the one that succeeds."
