Favre

[LindellProStaf]

At first I thought the Favre thing would be great. Now I have changed completely. We don't need him. With our talent I think that TJ or Sage will have a chance to turn into something. IF the off. line can give them a little time. TJ didn't have anytime last year which made him look worse than he is. Good luck to them. I can't wait, it should be a great season.

[harvey lee]

For me if we want to have a good season this year, we need Farve. Sage could learn from farve also. I think they could just as well trade TJ for something.

[LMITOUT]

It's been pretty quiet this week. No news = good news??

A bag of peanuts

[FISHINGURU]

i don't think that trade would be good for the reputation we are trying to build...a bag of peanuts is a little to high of an asking price....we don't want everyone thinking we are a bunch of scammers!

I was thinking more along the lines of some practice balls for the place kickers.

[toughguy]

Pretty quiet on the Favre front. Must be signing soon

[BrianLucky13]

Im wearing my number 4 packers jersey as I type this!!! Its tradition to wear it for me the day before muskie season!!!

[harvey lee]

In the end we will be stuck with TJ and Chili mwill be happy as he has his man as the starter and the Vikes will stink again.

Sources are saying that Favre had surgery sometime last month to repair his torn biceps tendon.

Per the report, sources expressed confidence that Favre is a virtual lock to play for the Vikings as long as he makes a sound recovery from the surgery.

[Scott K]

If the rumor is true, and it has been reported from a reliable source, it still doesn't mean MN will sign him, or even that he will recover and be at all reliable enough to start this season.

Id rather watch Hockey...a real sport where players are not afraid they might break a nail or their head. all football players do these days is WHINE and SNIVVLE!!! and certainly If I was good enough to play in the NFL and make millions I would Not get caught smoking weed and fail my Urine test Before the scouting combine because I wanted to get stoned!!!And as for the party boat...I wont even go there...the vikes sure know how to pick em!!

I get updates on my phone from the Vikes through the NFL Network on my phone. It said he had surgery as well.

Brett Favre recently had arthroscopic surgery on his ailing

right shoulder, ESPN reported Sunday night, another indication the

three-time NFL MVP is considering coming out of retirement.

ESPN, citing two anonymous sources, reported that Favre had

surgery last month to repair the torn biceps tendon that bothered

him late last season with the New York Jets. Favre retired in

February, but the Jets released him at his request in April -

making him a free agent.

A message was left with Favre's agent Bus Cook seeking comment.

According to the report, Favre has thrown on a limited basis

since the surgery, but isn't close to 100 percent. A source told

ESPN the quarterback wouldn't return "unless he makes significant

progress."

Minnesota said it would be interested in Favre if he comes out

of retirement.

One big question will be how good is the arm. Brett will also demand a huge salary to come out of retirement.

Could be alot of money for a questionable arm.

[LMITOUT]

Vikes have a lot of money to spend.

[harvey lee]

But there is no need to waste it on a questionable player. I would love to see Brett play for the Vikes until we can get a QB worth something. He could also teach a younger one many things.

My concern is that we pay a ton for Brett and then 4 games later his arm is shot.

And we would be back at square one a year later.

Favre will get his $$$, no doubt about that. Injuries and risk are part of the NFL but I think the risk here is worth the price. Vikes do have lot's of money and they know exactly what it's going to cost to bring him up here. I'm glad he had the surgery (if the reports are right) and hope he does find his way to Eden Prairie sooner than later.

[Steve Foss]

Just as we expected. He quietly had the surgery even while everyone was loudly speculating whether he would have the surgery. Now the tendon's out of the bag and we'll see if his arm stays as weak as an old hag's.

If he's at all close to 100 percent health in the arm, he'll be wearing purple and cashing Vikings checks by August at the latest.

A healthy Favre is the Vikings' best one-year solution to a thorny quarterback problem. And say what you will about Childress (he IS a wanker), if Favre has his arm up to snuff and signs with the Vikes, you can call it Chili con carne for a year.

And I'll continue to laugh at all you guys who hated Favre until he wore your colors. Well, I'll laugh until the Vikes beat the Pack. Then I'll cry.

[Jim Uran]

Well get the Kleenex ready Foss!!!!

Well get the Kleenex ready Foss!!!!

Since when do tissues do a job meant for beer? Win, lose or draw . . .

I actually have heard from somone that he had the surgery yesterday in Alabama.

Report: Favre Has Surgery

Posted by Aaron Wilson on June 7, 2009, 6:54 p.m.

Brett Favre underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair his throwing shoulder at some point last month, according to Chris Mortensen and Ed Werder of ESPN.com.

It’s regarded as a strong indication that the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player intends to end his retirement for a second time. And the Minnesota Vikings are the team that Favre has targeted if he opts to play again.

Per the report, which cited two sources, Favre hasn’t yet decided whether he will play and is still contending with a torn biceps tendon.

Favre discovered that the shoulder is still not quite ready, though, while testing out his throwing arm following the surgery. And Favre reportedly won’t attempt to make a comeback unless he’s sufficiently encouraged by the condition of his shoulder.

Bus Cook, Favre’s longtime agent, declined to confirm or deny that Favre had the procedure.

As far as whether Favre plans to play again, Cook said: “As far as I know, Brett is still retired and reserves the right to change his mind.”

Per the report, sources expressed confidence that Favre is a virtual lock to play for the Vikings as long as he makes a sound recovery from the surgery.

Apparently, Favre considers the Vikings to be a prime Super Bowl contender and is enamored of the fact that they run “his offense.”

The Vikings’ scheme closely mirrors the offense Favre orchestrated with the Green Bay Packers.

Unprompted, Cook told the Associated Press on Friday that the Vikings should go after Favre.

“I would think [the Vikings] would pull out all the stops if they want to get the guy,” Cook said. “I think Brett Favre just brings a whole new ballgame to any ballclub. That’s no reflection on the guys that are on their team at quarterback right now, but Brett’s in a different league than most.”

Told you So....
