Favre...Here we go again? Or not

[nikki32]

Free agent Brett Favre requested to be removed from the Jets' retired list "several weeks ago" through his agent, according to the AP.

However, Favre "insisted he had no plans to come out of retirement" at the time. Why would Favre request his release if he didn't plan to play a 19th season? He may be keeping his options open in case he gets another "itch."

Jets waived QB Brett Favre off their reserve/retired list.

Here we go again? This could mean nothing, but players waived off the retired list become unrestricted free agents, and there have been rumors lately that Favre is contemplating a return. Favre released a statement: "Bus (Cook) and Mike (Tannenbaun) have been talking about this for a while. Nothing has changed. At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football.'' It's possible Favre wants to sign a one-day contract to retire as a Packer. It's also possible that the Vikings are interested again and Favre wants to keep his options open

You know, this guy is REALLY tarnishing his legacy. Quite frankly, I hope he remembers what he said at the end of last season, regarding his "fading". Call it a day already !

Just like a bad penny - he always turns up. Brett, please go away.

you know...i think it would be BEST for us to bring him in...piss of collins...have a QB the exact opposite of our head coach...but damnit he will make some GREAT plays throughout the season....o wait wait...i figured out the big positive in this situation...we will get more MEDIA ATTENTION....HOOOORRRRRAYYYYY....we would be guaranteed at least 12 flex games

Looks like the Vikings may dicuss the possibility of Favre.

Its sad, when we hosted Green Bay in the preseason of 2005 I went to the game just to watch Favre play thinking I wouldn't have many other chances to see him. Now, I can't even stand hearing the arrogant bastard's name.

AGAIN! Didn't you completely embarrass yourself down the stretch when the Jets looked like a sure playoff lock? Didn't you have a bicep tendon injury, which has not been treated as of this date?

Brad Childress--for the love of all things decent in this world, reconsider this decision. Favre is such an attention whore he's making Lindsay Lohan look like a recluse. Favre will embarrass your organization, and you'll definitely wind up unemployed once Dorian Gray Favre falls apart as the season wears on.

Favre is a complete and utter oaf...And I have lost the little respect I had for him..

As long as NFL Films has highlights, that won't happen...

But I'd still like to see him sign with Green Bay for a day, and then start counting down the days till HOF eligibility.

[GoPats]

Clearly he wants to play the Packers twice a year. Problem is, the Packers probably want him in Minnesota. There's nothing that scary about playing a turnover-prone QB you're very familiar with twice a season. Maybe the Favre from 10 years ago would put a little fear into Green Bay, but they know better than anyone... the guy is washed up, and has been for a few years now. I respect the hell out of what he's done in the NFL, but I agree with the notion that he's making a mockery out of his career.

[travis13]

Anyone wanna place bets on Madden coming back another year

[Count Telecky]

My bet would be on Madden coming back in a limited role...covering only games that Favre is playing

The "undisclosed location" where free agent Brett Favre and Vikings coach Brad Childress will meet is Hattiesburg (MS), Favre's hometown.

Childress will leave Minnesota and court Favre into Thursday, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The two will dine late Wednesday. The health of Favre's throwing arm is reportedly "among the Vikings' chief concerns."

[TitansGiantsBears]

If he wants to come back and can still play, I see no problem with it. In fact, I would enjoy watching him stick it to Green Bay. I can't blame him for wanting to do that. However, I can imagine a day when Brett QB's the Brunswick Fire NFL expansion franchise in 2056. At that time the frozen head of John Madden will provide play-by-play for all the Fire's games, a la Futurama. The only "problem" I have is ESPN covering every fart that proceeds from the man's butt like it's a major news story.

[nikki32]

Brett Favre reportedly told commissioner Roger Goodell last summer that Packers GM Ted Thompson doesn't want Favre playing for the Vikings because "he knows I'll kick his a** twice a year."

So the reports about Favre's motivation for returning are true? Favre's conversation with Goodell took place when he applied for reinstatement, hoping to be released by the Packers so he could join the Vikings. At this point, there's no doubt that Favre has a desire to come back to play. It's up to his throwing arm to cooperate.

Profootballtalk.com "caught wind of a tip" Sunday morning that free agent Brett Favre may secretly already have signed with the Vikings.

PFT then tried confirming it with a source who knows the situation for sure, and that person said only, "I will not deny it...I will leave it at that." It's possible Favre has already signed, but the Vikings are waiting to submit the contract to the NFL office. PFT also passes along another rumor that Reebok has already green-lighted the production of Vikings' No. 4 jerseys.

Barring some unforeseen major physical setback, Brett Favre will be at training camp in Mankato when they open up the end of July, a source has told WCCO's Mark Rosen.

That source said that Favre and the Vikings have indeed come to a contractual agreement, with heavy incentives. The Vikings equipment manager has already ordered number 4 purple jerseys with his name on it.

However, on Sunday, Favre's longtime agent, Bus Cooke denied a report that was out there that Favre and the Vikings had come to an agreement.


Announcement expected 4th of July weekend (http://wcco.com/vikings/brett.favre.vikings.2.1057007.html)

It's over...


Quarterback Brett Favre has informed Minnesota Vikings officials that he will remain retired, according to The Star Tribune.

Coach Brad Childress confirmed the news to the Star Tribune, leaving the Vikings in an unexpected and awkward spot with training camp set to open Wednesday. The Vikings are now left to choose between Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels as their 2009 starter.

"I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division," Childress said to the newspaper. "He knows our system inside out ... This doesn't change anything about how I feel about our football team."

$20 says he's in uniform somewhere by Labor Day.

He just doesn't want to go to camp...

I hope I'm wrong, mind you.

[don28]

I'm hoping that this is for real. I think Brett is a lot like a boxer. Most of them can't truly retire until they take such a bad beating that no commission will license them.

I didn't quite understand what he was doing, but after thinking about it lately I have a new perspective. It has to be hard when the cheering finally goes away and there's a lot of silence. Add in the fact of his father's death, brother-in-law's death, Deanna's health scare, and his own Vicodin addiction, and I now can understand why he was reluctant to let it go. Football was a great escape as well as a way for him to be creative.

[Jones31]

[Sect309Fan]

Let's be honest. We fans prefer to have other people in the spotlight than Titans.

Between Pacman, Vince, and McNair, the Titans have received a lot more exposure than we are comfortable with. So I have no problems with Favre and Vick in the spotlight. Better them than our guys.

I'll admit I got tired of the Favre drama too. But I can't say I really blame him for wanting to play and wanting to play for the Vikes. That team is loaded and if Brett can play like Kerry did last year then watch out. How unstoppable will they be? It's scary really. But that's the concern the Vikes have to have is whether Brett will be an interception machine.

[Titanico]

Favre is an attention-wh**e.

I am also sick and tired of listening to his constant retirement-not retirement, that this guy kind of ridiculizes the formal part of pro-football.

Coach Brad Childress confirmed that Brett Favre was on his way to Minnesota to meet with the Vikings.
Childress said Favre would sign with the Vikings today "in a perfect world." Agent Bus Cook admitted that a deal is "close." He added that Favre was gaining strength in his right shoulder while working out with a Mississippi high school team. The two-year deal for $10-$12M per is dependent on Favre passing a physical.

On the other hand, I also think teams (Vikings this year, Jets last) are acting stupidly by trying to get him. If you are a team after Farve, you aren't thinking about the future, you're acting out of desperation. The whole media spectacle is cheap, IMHO... but then most are, eh?

You're damn tootin!

This guy has played 18 years of QB in the NFL and has NEVER MISSED A START. Brett Favre is a football player!!!! All he does is lace up the cleats on Sunday and leave it all on the field. EVERY SUNDAY HIS ENTIRE CAREER. You have got to be kidding me, we will be lucky to ever see a QB do that again. The guy is having trouble quitting,is this really a surprise? There is not an ounce of quit in this guy, never has been.

I don't care how his season goes, he has my respect and his legacy will remain INTACT.

Him going back and forth drives me crazy sometimes but at least he can. I'd give anything to still be doing some stuff from 18 years ago.

Uh, what's changed? :thumbsup

I'm just personally sick of his 'saga.' Play. Don't play. Just stop the theatre and press conferences, and telling national media swarms you're done, when you know deep down you're not.

As a QB, I respect the crap outta him, but he's turned himself, whether he likes it or not, into a soap opera side show, and that tears teams apart.

I predict that on the Oct 5 Monday Night game (Packers at Vikings) John Madden comes out of retirement!

Why Favre wants to be that poster boy, he threw out of the window, when he didn't retire after leaving the Packers?

The guy won a Super Bowl, and the guy helped Green Bay to be on the map again. (because in case someone doesn't remember, Green Bay rode the pine for too long, before Favre arrived).

The words that descrive Favre now a days, is not "the best franchise QB, Green Bay had after.............(insert other QB they had here)".

Now he is competing with Madonna!!!

The more I look at the VIkings offense on paper, the more I think it could be the best offense in the NFL in the last decade.

-Best RB in the NFL (And Chester Taylor is a great backup RB too)
-Best offensive line (Slightly better than the Titans)
-WR Corps is a top 10 group (their QB's make them look bad IMO)
-Brett Favre, even though he will be 40, is still a great QB, love him or hate him
-Threir D is top 5 and will create plenty of turnovers so the offense can stay on the field

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that.


I thought I was just getting crossed eyed.

[Titansfan777]

oops...I originally was writing that they could be compared to the patriots 2007 team in terms of potential on paper but i erased it, just not all of it :)

Me too, LOL!

[TitansFan23]

I think the only thing that really bothers me about the whole deal is the media attention it draws.

If it weren't for ESPN creaming their pants whenever Favre's name is mentioned I think people outside of Green Bay would probably be a little more acceptant of his return, although the retiring, un-retiring, retiring, un-retiring has been played out and is extremely redundant by now.

If Favre wants to play, and a team out there looks at their personnel and decides he's an upgrade and are willing to bring him in, then so be it; let the man play.

Just please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop acting as if Jesus himself descended from Heaven and decided to play QB.

We knew what you was saying about Farvre. Just having fun and I agree Vikings do have a good team.

At first I was shocked that he is playing tonight against the Chiefs, but Collins played in the 2006 Titans final preseason game 5 days after he agreed to terms.

[Jones31]

I remember that merry go round game at QB vs Green Bay.

Stirring the pot before the game Sunday. I hope the Browns bury him.

[Jones31]

He's making excuses for this year already.
