[Packers4Ever]

Just saw it on FOX (?) that Brett Favre has put down $30,000 on a Condo in MN. Don't know where just yet, More details coming in.

A 'most watched' sports Pro. I'd hate that part of his life.

[Packers4Ever]

I think we all would, Woody,
Still waiting for more info...

[Rastak]

I think we all would, Woody,
Still waiting for more info...

The guy that reported it is a pretty cool dude but he's wrong about 60% of the time. He did correctly report Favre's arm surgery though.


The rumor, and that is all it is, is that it's in Edina MN which isn;t too far form Winter Park, the Vikings headquarters.


Either way, the Favre-o-meter is now at 99%. I created the Favre-o-meter at work and told my co-workers this spring that it was 30% it would happen.....it's gone up since then.


Packers4ever, you sound pretty damn exited!

Rastak. He's so very close to being the ' All Time All Position ' leader in concecutive starts. I've always only imagined he could achieve that one.

Maybe it's really close?

[SMACKTALKIE]

50th and France. Pretty nice area.

I guess the "nice area" part is a no brainer.

It's a yuppie-ish area of town.

[woodbuck27]

This is what your going to get Viking fans. Not too bad:

and all this experience:

Packer and Viking fans will never forget play #5 fr. a famous finish on Monday Night football:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnxN-oSaMWo&feature=related

and Viking fans will be getting this attitude and guts from the best football player ( overall ) I've ever seen:

Thanks for the info, Rastak, I was suspicious this would be another dud.
We're lucky to have you over there to check these things out for us ! :D
Keep the Favre-o-meter going !

Ironic as it is, he would pass Jim Marshall, the all time football iron man and Viking standout. I don't count that punter shit... :wink:


I'm split on what is more impressive, a QB or a lineman in the trenches everyday. QB's take some huge shots and they are a skill position so it's harder to hide an injury so I guess perhaps QB is the more impressive. I hate to have to admit that.

Damn. Isn't that something!? It slipped my mind that it was Jim Marshall who holds that streak record Rastak.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Close to my work. I think I'll go egg his house.

I'll cooperate with the police to see you prosecuted to the full extent of the law.



:wink:


Just kiddin HW.


So how is this Favre stuff playing out at your place of employment?


At mine, the Packer fans were dismayed then pissed. A couple of Viking fans are looking to use this to maximum effect in office trash talk but I have reservations and see this as a potential double edged sword in the trash talk department.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Close to my work. I think I'll go egg his house.

Accept google checkout? I'd like to pay for your first carton.

[HarveyWallbangers]

So how is this Favre stuff playing out at your place of employment?

There isn't much football talk. Two other nerds in my department are Packer fans, two are Viking fans, and the other five don't care. The Vikings fan that sits next to me is cool. He thinks the Vikings are jinxed and never gets too cocky.

We've got about 100 in the office I think and since it's close to the Wisc/Min border we have a 50/50 split so there's a ton of football talk to be had.

I agree with your co-worker on the jinxed thing but I keep trying to be supremely optimistic every damn year anyway.

Why you gotta be bringing race into this?

[Lurker64]

With Favre's historic "good ol' boy" image, why the hell would he want to live right in the middle of probably the yuppiest place in the entire state of Minnesota?

You'd think a guy with Favre's coin would want to buy a place in North Oaks, or Bearpath, or a nice lakeside property on Harriet, Minnetonka, or of the Isles.

[Partial]

30k down? Can't be too nice of a place. Plus, why isn't that honkey paying straight cash?

[falco]

30k down? Can't be too nice of a place. Plus, why isn't that honkey paying straight cash?

I'm assuming by down they mean earnest money, not down payment....

[The Shadow]

Kindly let us know when he buys a dog.

[Freak Out]

How spendy is the Viking/Packer game going to get for us fans now? If he does sign and makes it through camp what the hell are we going to have to pay for the PR game this year? $500? Fuck me.....

[Tyrone Bigguns]

30k down? Can't be too nice of a place. Plus, why isn't that honkey paying straight cash?

Yeah, I'm sure it is a dump. Do you even think?

Yeah, why isn't he paying cash. :roll:

[Packers4Ever]

This is simply the information we picked up on the network, CBS or ABC, whatever it was, that $30,000 was put down and it probably was earnest money. I doubt anyone at a lending agency/realty was terribly worried about the remainder, etc....

And since there's been no further information coming in that I've heard,
you have to wonder how much is true - if anything. Rastak, be sure to keep us notified of any changes on the Favre-o-meter, :wink:

No, you interpreted the news. All that is said was that he put a deposit down...yet, you titled the thread "buying."

No one knows if he is buying...or just putting a deposit down on a condo so it doesn't get sold or rented.

[Packers4Ever]

OK, new update - Tim Van Vooren of the NBC network, Milwaukee, just
reinforced what I heard this afternoon, that Favre did put down a
$30,000 deposit on a condo, but the location wasn't known - or given, anyway.

Also that he'd be having a press conf with the Vikings next week.

[Packers4Ever]

Sorry, TB, if I misspoke or whatever, if someone puts $$ down,
I'm assuming it's towards a purchase - which is "buying" - right?

[HowardRoark]

EDINA actually is an acronym: Every Day I Need Attention; sounds as though he found the right place to live.

That is a big assumption. Many wealthy people don't buy....look at MJ..he was renting that mansion in LA.

He may well just rent a condo or mansion for the year. Ty doesn't know.

What ty does know is that CV is that you don't sell within a year...so, would that mean he was planning on multiple seasons?

[MJZiggy]

Kindly let us know when he buys a dog.

Why? You planning on taking the thing out? :)

He already has a dog. Don't you remember the press watch and family photos with the puppy?

Single game tickets will go on sale the 20th of this month. There will most likely be a large line to buy and you will have to buy a Chiefs preseason ticket along with the Packer ticket.

Otherwise you should hope you have a friend like mine. He's willing to part ways with his lower level tickets for a mere $250.00 a crack. :lol:

Did we really vote on that, or did Madtown in all his furious rage push that date on us?

Anyways, this also happens to be the same weekend of the Wisconsin Melon Tasting Tour, how convienent. The tour will be leaving some where around Madison, and entering Green Bay sometime before the game.

Punters don't count, nobody starts the game off with a punt :)

Both are impressive. Linemen are somewhat less likely to have a single injury knock them out, but holding up against other 300 lbs monsters really takes its toll over time. The QB spot used to be near impossible to have a long streak, but the new rules have helped a lot. Manning has also obliterated Jaws' old record, and Brady came close.

Thinking of the curse comment, is there any specific reason for the Vikings to be cursed (other than by a million Packer fans twice a year).

If he does end up doing this and renting a condo, how's he gonna get his sitting-on-the-lawn-tractor jollies?

If I were a lawn care place in the area, I'd offer to let him come mow a few lawns - and I'd let him do it for free! Plus give him my best riding 360 degree mower!

Right..... because I'm sure he was living in the sticks while he played for the Packers. Or maybe a multi million dollar home.

He's been living in the lap of luxury since before you called him a good ol boy.

Get used to it, Smackie.

First time Favre throws a dart between three defenders for a TD and goes running down the field, get right on that and post the youtube link before Favre throws one into the arms of the opposing linebacker...

You'll love him and hate him.

My comment regarding him being a good ol boy had nothing to do with his houses. It was in regards to how he has acted over the past 2 years - from his aw shucks attitude to the media game, lies, and other BS he has pulled.
