Favre

I saw that about T-Paw. Why???? Just leave her on her tractor already.

#4 could throw better left handed then any of the QBs that MN has now!!

If he has to have surgery it would take 4-6 weeks for him to start throwing again and another couple weeks after that to become the gunslinger of the past again!!

[Steve Foss]

Pawlenty called the potential signing "a wonderful little salt to rub in the eyes of some of our Green Bay Packer friends."

Poor T-Paw. So desperate for a quarterback. Can't really blame him considering the last few stumblebums.

I wanna see it just for the fact that my father-in-law is a DIE HARD pack fan, and LOVES Brett. He even cheered for him in New York. His family is DIE HARD Pack fans, i hear about it every christmas. I would buy him a PURPLE #4 jersey and watch him walk into the family christmas wearing it.

[Scott K]

My in laws are all Packer fans as well.

[Scott K]

Here I am, getting ready to watch the Vike's get blown out by the Packer's. The upside is I got to see T-Jacks first game he played in .

Yes Viking's this is what a trophey looks like, now go get one!

It was my wife, my father in law, and my brother in law, all cheeseheads, and me. Its funny I didnt get beat up, by my in laws.

Free agent Brett Favre refused to confirm or deny talks with the Vikings on Wednesday.

He may as well have confirmed. NFL Network's Scott Hanson interviewed Favre's agent, Bus Cook, on Wednesday as Cook and Favre texted back and forth. It appears Favre didn't consult his agent before following through with the visit. That'd be the only logical explanation for Cook being in the dark.

You Minnesota based Packers fans- you know there are houses for sale in Wisconsin. Thought you might like to know.

You're kidding, right? Why would I want to move back to Wisconsin when I can pay really high taxes in Minnesota and be subjected to the most confusing and restrictive set of game and fish regulations in the nation?

Why would I move back? I ask you! Why?

Anyway, it's a little tough to be a BWCAW photography guide while living in Wisconsin. Thought you might like to know. I can leave my home state behind no problem. Leaving my team behind? Never.

The MN fans may have to move over to WI as well since there is no room left for a boat on the river of da-nile.

[LMITOUT]

Darren Sharper believes that the Vikings can go 12-4 and win the NFC North with Favre at QB.

You never thought I'd look good in purple.....well look at me now, look at me now....

[Steve Foss]

Wow, it took a whopping dose of Favre Fevre to get LMITOUT to change his avatar. Somebody check that man's temperature!

[BullFighter]

Over the Hill washed up & a Messed up Arm!

FAVRE IS COOL

[Sandmannd]

From the Strib:

Don't bring this circus to town

By coaxing Brett Favre out of retirement, the Vikings would see ticket sales and media attention rise. But his divisive presence and equal-opportunity passes won't win a Super Bowl.

If the Vikings want to sell tickets, they should sign Brett Favre. If they want ESPN to build a base camp in Eden Prairie, they should sign Brett Favre. If they want to coax John Madden (or is it Frank Caliendo, I can't tell them apart anymore) out of retirement, and have him park his Winnebago at Winter Park, they should sign Brett Favre. If they want the Metrodome to become the petri dish in which the most interesting experiment in the NFL is conducted, they should sign Brett Favre.

There are lots of good reasons for coaxing a future Hall of Fame quarterback out of retirement. As long the Vikings don't think one of them is an aging Favre's ability to propel his team to the Super Bowl, then, what the heck? Sign Favre, watch the fireworks, and understand that this January, Favre might wind up looking all too much like a cross between Brad Johnson and Tarvaris Jackson.

Favre is the supermodel who maxes out your credit cards. He is the sports car that wipes out your bank account. He is enticing, and he is captivating, and he is trouble.

He drove the Packers bonkers. He left a locker room filled with angry ex-teammates when he left the Jets, who seemed quite happy to essentially trade him for an unproven Mark Sanchez.

He played brilliantly for the Jets for half a season last year, before almost single-handedly destroying their playoff chances with his vintage irresponsible throws.

Favre would give the Vikings a much better chance of selling out a home playoff game this year, and not much more of a chance of winning that game.

Look at Favre's postseason history. He won one Super Bowl, with a superior Packers team -- the same number as Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson.

One reason the Packers were so eager to hustle him out the door is that they didn't think, at his advanced athletic age, they could build a Super Bowl winner around him.

Ignore Favre The Myth -- the guy running around in your head throwing behind-the-back passes for 80-yard touchdowns -- and pay closer attention to Favre The Man.

Favre compiled a passer rating of 81.0 last year. (Tarvaris Jackson's, for the sake of comparison, was 95.4.)

In three of his past four seasons, Favre has failed to throw more for touchdowns than interceptions. He threw 22 of each last season while playing for a pretty good team.

Favre faded badly down the stretch last year, throwing two touchdown passes and nine interceptions as the Jets went 1-4 over their last five games to fall out of the playoffs.

As a Packer, after 1998, Favre went 3-6 in playoff games, throwing 16 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions. During that time he lost home playoff games to Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper and Eli Manning.

Remember that killing interception Jackson threw against the Eagles? Favre -- the new, old Favre -- does that all the time.

If you want to win the Super Bowl -- and the Vikings are talented enough at almost every position to entertain such thoughts -- Favre is not your guy.

Bringing in Favre would also force Childress to sell his soul. Whatever you think of him, Childress has turned the Vikings' locker room into a much more professional and functional place. Favre would likely bring his prima donna act to Winter Park. That might not become a problem if he wins, but if he loses, it could split the roster.

Childress has shown increased flexibility the last year or two in accepting challenging personalities, enabling the Vikings to take a chance on Jared Allen (who was phenomenal last year) and Percy Harvin (who instantly upgrades the 2009 offense.) When the challenging personalities belonged to veteran quarterbacks, though, Childress wound up alienating Brad Johnson and Gus Frerotte.

Childress demands restraint and attention to detail from his quarterbacks. We have no idea how he'd react to one of Favre's underhanded lobs to a tightly covered receiver. The relationship could last minutes.

TIME TO OPEN UP THAT PLAYBOOK!!!!!

[Scott K]

Wow, Sandman, that article sums up exactly how I feel! I couldn't have said it better myself.

[james_walleye]

If his washed up 39 year old rear wasnt better than the QB's on our roster i might have a problem with all of this.

[SpitnArgueDuckClub*]

Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, you can never have enough Favre!!!

[Steve Foss]

Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, Favre, you can never have enough Favre!!!

Now that sounds like a good cheer for the chicks in purple along the sidelines to learn.

[croixeyes]

What the vikes ought to do is have Favre play the last half of the season.The first half looks like Sage or T-jack could tally up some easy victories,then bring in the old goat to wrap it up and start renaming the streets around the dome Brett Favre blvd etc.....
