Favre talking to Vikings...here we go again

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Favre flying to Saint Paul this morning.  On Wilf's private plane.

EDIT...WCCO-TV is reporting that he will sign today.

[Jay Bee]

Word... way to go Brent, you effin nutcase. 

i'm buying season tickets right now!

[NavinRJohnson]

He's feeling 'conflicted' so that when he comes back and bombs out, he has cover to say something along the lines of, "Looking back, I guess my heart wasn't really in it, I had doubts about my ability to play 16 games and make all the throws, but the coaching staff and players were pushing me and encouraging me so much, I guess I talked myself into it..."

Translation: Don't be mad at me, I didn't want to come back, but they talked me into it. Blame Childress, Bevel, Petersen, etc.

As I said in the very post in this thread. I welcome him back. It increases, not decreases the Packers chances of winning the division (same for the bears).

No need to re-write all of that, as it is obviously what was going on all along. The entire story has really gotten sad. I almost feel bad for the guy, as he clearly has no idea what to do with himself once the spot light is turned off, and he has to receed into his BIRGing, hillbilly family that has been treating him as a money machine for years.

The key to getting the deal done....

Pitino will be paying 1/2 of his salary.

That's so true.

This will bury the Rick story and he'll probably get to keep his job after a public apology.

I think that the guy is clearly lost without the praise of the football field and football is all he really knows how to do.  Pretty sad.

By the end of the year, he very well could be considered the worst quarterback in the division.

[nyg]

Worst QB in the division will be getting 12 million for one year, if he passes physical.  That is insane.

Guess I hadn't thought of that, but you may be right. Seems as though Culpepper/Stafford would be the only thing standing in the way of that title (barring injury to ARod or Cutler of course).

[Wareagle]

I wouldn't put it past Favre to have delayed his final decision until he missed as much training camp time as possible.

Oh of course...and to maximize the $$$.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Exactly right....they just broke training camp in Mankato and are now back in Eden Prairie/Minneapolis now.  No staying in dorms at a small college.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Beyond weird but I'm enjoying the drama.  Get out the popcorn

[AlumKCof93]

Favre is so incredibly selfish it's hard to stomach.  This gives credence to all the Jets players who said Favre distanced himself from the team last year.  This year he's distanced himself from the Vikings under the false pretense that he was "retired".  I used to like this guy, now I can't stand to see him.

[4everwarriors]

I'm sure Brett will be close personal friends with Jackson and Rosenfels as well.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

He told the vikings that he has a small rotator cuff tear in his passing shoulder....vikings knew about it and are still going to pay him 12mill this year while at the same time lying to the three QB's they have now.

[Dish]

Bears and Packers fans don't often agree, but this will turn out to be a good day for both teams. I'll enjoy seeing the "Brett Favre Is Freezing Cold, I Don't Want To Be Here" face in late December at Soldier Field.

I  am sure this has been asked before in this thread, but I am to tired to find it!

Does favre get booed when he comes back to green bay?  He is a historical figure in the Green Bay Franchise!

I'll be there and yes, I will be booing.

[g0lden3agle]

You may dislike the way he handles his career decisions over the last few years, but I don't see why that's reason to boo the man.

[Jay Bee]

I'll be there and yes, I will be booing.

 Because of Favre or because the Packers will be losing big time?  I wonder if anyone would give us a 7th-rounder for Tarvaris...

[robmufan]

So you are going to boo the man that made your team a force in the 1990's?  

[LON]

The guy is a complete media whore and he deserves to be booed.  I'll just do it for all those fans (of other teams) that won't be able to do it in person.

How does a worn down 39 year old think he can step in during the middle of preseason and be effective?  He says things like his body is worn down and what not, cries to Peter King daily, and then thinks he'll come right in and just "get it." 

Actually, now that I think about it, I think Bears and Packers fans agree that this is the best free agent signing for them.

/was at Favre's first game and I'll boo if I want to, besides, I still get to cheer when he's throwing to GB players twice a year...

[LON]

I do find it hilarious how five years ago Vikings fans were proclaiming he was done and needed to hang it up, and now they are storming Winter Park to get a glimpse of the Land Baron.

Real.Comfortable.Picks.

I love the franchise more than one player.

Chicago, along with Baseanz (sp).
