he's a professional athlete who enjoys attention...what a concept, huh? lol. i totally know what you're saying, mass. i'm just tired of the second a rumor gets 'reported', boom - 'favre's at fault & he needs to stop the rumors.' i'm not sure who's worse - the media, favre, or the fans who can't whine enough about him.

Finger pointing is silly at this point, you're right. I prefer to just sit back, laugh, and feel good about it being some other team going through the drama!

It's a smart play on both sides.

Favre probably said, "look, I don't want to deal with training camp so how about we limit my involvement to two games". After all, that is what the NFL is currently comtemplating.

The Vikings can concentrate on coaching up rosenfelds and Jackson and if need be, put one on the blocks (Jackson) after Favre comes in.

We and the media act as if it is our "right" to know everyhting that goes on...and it just aint so!

How is it a smart play to intentionally deceive fans and players? Is it also smart to completely distract the team with this BS while finally waiting for some concrete decision from Favre?

It's insulting to us fans if he escapes the rigorous training camp and preseason games by lying about retiring, while also lying about how his body cannot hold up anymore through the 16 game season.*

I respectfully disagree and think bringing in a 40 year old QB who was injured last year and has been retired AFTER training camp and preseason, hoping he'll be sharp and ready to go, isn't the smartest move in the world.

Quotes from Vikings players:

"I'm telling you it's already done," said one Viking. "Right after the Indy game (first preseason game). I don't think anyone here doesn't think that."

Another Viking said, "I don't know if it's done, but I think he'll be in by the third preseason game."

In addition to wimping out of training camp rigors, Brett's not too fond of having to 'lower himself' to living in a dorm and other training camp lifestyles. He got a personal ride in an escalade to packer practices near the end of his career (at least a few I attended) and reportedly had his own sectioned off portion of the Jets locker room.

hey look what i found

"The Packers are going to suck this year and we are working on getting Ted Thompson fired" said one Packer.

"Aaron Rodgers is TT's lost son from a one night stand" said another Packer player.


see how stupid it is to say a player and not be man enough to give names.

it's all BS from the media, when the deal does get done then report the facts, i'm so fricken sick of it all and can really care less. If he signs i buy another jersey big deal and if it's all BS i save money by not buying another jersey lol.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
