Favre NOT coming back?

[imscott72]

Brett Favre began telling Vikings officials last night he will NOT return for a 20th season. I'm told Favre has said his ankle has simply not responded and that is why he won't be back.

Interesting...

[packers11]

hes convincing everyone hes not coming back then late August he will be back... ESPN didn't have him on the new for 2 days - he got lonely , he had to make some news somehow...

[imscott72]

all over Twitter and Sportscenter now. I think this is for real. I don't want to jinx us, but man, doesn't this totally gift wrap the division for us?

Way to jinx us. Nothing could make Martz/Cutler successful, but you may have just done it. Either that, or he is just teasing everyone.

[imscott72]

Twitter stuff

Favre has told teammates he will NOT play, citing wear and tear on his body. Team is hoping he'll change his mind

No it wouldn't. Nothing is a given and the Viking are still a very good team. But they would be a lot eaier to game plan for though. The bears could surprise people to, thats why we play the games.

That being said I still think he will say he is coming back in three weeks from now. The guy just doesn't know what he wants.

[Fritz]

There is no such thing as a gift wrap, for anyone in sports.

As for Favre, well, we'll see.

I predict that, by the time the third pre-season game rolls around, Favre will begin talking about re-un-retiring. His ankle not responding is just as likely as anything a way of getting out of preseason games.

Hoosier and I finding common ground :shock: Even last year he said he was not coming back at the beginning of camp, then 2 a days were over and he found a second wind.

On the other side of the coin, he may realize that its unlikely to beat us twice again. Seriously, can he hope to have any better of a season than last year?

[MOBB DEEP]

Chilly has to be SO sick right about now

I saw Shiancoe at the golds i go to about 3 weeks ago and didnt even ask his opinion b/c i jus KNEW the hick was coming back! Him, Harvin, Rice, Berrian ALL vomiting rt now lol

[MadScientist]

About this time last year his shoulder wasn't healed well enough so he was going to stay retired. The ankle will have a remarkable improvement in a month. :roll:

I won't believe it until the season starts and that salty old dog isn't there.

[imscott72]

I wonder if they approach him about missing the first half of the season then returning for the 2nd half?

[KYPack]

Like most, I'll believe it when I believe it.

Is this the future?

TJack?

Jackson is 10-10 in his career as a starter and 10-9 in the regular season. Last year he saw action in eight games in relief of Favre and completed 14 of 21 passes for 201 yards with one touchdown.

(I kin dig it.)

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'll never forget where I was when Favre retired for the 3rd time.

[pbmax]

I wonder if they approach him about missing the first half of the season then returning for the 2nd half?
The Roger Clemens approach?

[packerbacker1234]

I think this is one of those "that is what he is thinking right now" situations, but he can still change his mind. Presumably, the vikings brass are talking (according to reports) about freeing up more money to offer favre a bigger deal this year, upwards of possibly 18 million, trying to entice him with the money (as if favre needs it, but it's worth a try for the vikings).

He also has made no official announcement, and some teammates are apparently optimistic that there is still enough time left for him to change his mind again. Thing is, if he was deadset on this is it, he would of went public with it himself (been on camera), sounds like he hasn't done that because he may change his mind.

And like I said, this is a "believe it when you see it" moment. There is still what, 2 months for #4 to lace it up for week 1? He has plenty of time to change his mind.

If he comes back for the money he will destroy what is left of his legacy.

[swede]

Bobble and Hoosier are right. I say Favre comes back in week 4 after the Vikings start 1-3. He still wants to be sweet-talked.

The consecutive starts steak is over, though.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vikings are rumored to be offering a huge salary increase. He'll be back. He can't help himself.

[pbmax]

Chilldress at his PC said he was not aware the Favre had made a decision. Assuming Brad isn't dissembling, Favre has pulled another one over them. You would think that a reporter would begin to take this personally at some point. Even the Wisconsin guys got tired of being snubbed.

[imscott72]

Yea..Couldn't he realistically be placed on the PUP and return for week 7?

[KYPack]

BF made virtually the same announcement last year on July 29, citing the surgery he had then as the reason for his "retirement".

Hold your ponies, everybody.

[mngolf19]

Even if Favre believes it true right now, I won't believe he's gone until the season is over and he hasn't played. Honestly, the Vikes would take him back with 2 weeks left in the season.

[mission]

This announcement actually makes me think *more* that he's coming back to play this season.

No way would he come back just ho hum without any excitement. Gives him a chance to make more money, get begged back, be the savior on the white horse... you guys know the drill.

Plus, as always, it gives him an out if he doesn't play well when he does come back. That dang ankle, it just didn't hold up -- has nothing to do with him not preparing at all for football in league known as a game of inches.

All of this fits his M.O. perfectly... I'm surprised at the media running with this retirement so hard. Atlanta radio is already talking about how this is going to make it so much easier to make the playoffs. They're also saying we're probably the favorites in all the NFC.

[swede]

Yes, but then Bus Cook couldn't answer the purple Bradphone in the Favre's study when it rings after the Viking's third loss--to the Lions at home--in week three and tell Brett to get dressed; Zyg is sending a plane, a bag of money, and a hologram message informing Brett that he is their only hope.

Since when did reality or even probability begin to play a role in Favre's decision making process?

Actually my money is on him coming back right after the NO game. They knew how to get after him last year and he won't want to be banged up for the whole season ... it'd be a mockery if he somehow came back midway through the season just to sell some tickets and fall short again -- almost WWF-storyline-like.

BF made the decision and he didn't tell Chilly or Viking brass already? This can't be true. Can't imagine BF being insensitive and so self adsorbed that he wouldn't closely work with management, communicating the situation clearly so that his team can prepare adequately for the season.

I still think there is a 90% chance that he plays this season. As others have said, he said the same thing last year.

Let's see what the rest of the NFL had to say about the sport's longest running and highest-rated soap opera.

1. Most Vikings teammates said they hadn't heard from Favre. Jared Allen revealing pleaded the fifth, but did say, "I still hope we see him in a couple of weeks. But the sun is going to rise tomorrow and we're going to have football whether Brett Favre shows up or not."

2. Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on SportsCenter: "I'd be lying if I didn't tell you it wasn't a blow to hear something like that. I feel like it may give us a little setback to our team. But it's not nothing that we can't overcome."

3. Unnamed Jets player: "That's , stringing them along this far."

4. Rex Ryan: "If he's not playing in Week 5, I'll be happy as heck."

[b]5. Best pal, Packers G.M. Ted Thompson: :lol:"I haven't thought of it. To tell you the truth somebody mentioned it to me out on the practice field, and I don't know anything about it."

6. Packers safety Nick Collins: "You know Brett is Brett. We'll see. Time will tell."

7. Packers linebacker Nick Barnett: "We're going to have the same goal whether it's Tarvaris [Jackson], Jeffrey Dahmer or Norman Bates quarterbacking. We're still trying to do the same thing."

8. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher when told Favre wasn't coming back: "Not coming back to training camp?" :lol:

9. Former teammate Dorsey Levens: "I'll be very surprised if he walks away."

10. Mike Shanahan, Keyshawn Johnson, and just about everyone else: "I'll believe it when I see it."

[Packers4Ever]

I wonder if they approach him about missing the first half of the season then returning for the 2nd half?

I don't know, IMS, I've always learned the 'streak' was about the most important stat Brett has ~ and I don't think Peyton or Brady are close behind him....? ? On the other hand, Brett's pushing 41, maybe it doesn't mean as much as it did..

Now will he stay retired? He'll watch the vikings first two pre-season games and really determine his position based on factors he'll have already determined. It's just a wait and see situation again.

A "family source" tells the Biloxi (MS) Sun Herald that Brett Favre has not decided whether to play football in 2010.

The report comes from the Herald's Al Jones, who often breaks the most crucial Favre news. "Brett has not made a commitment to play or a decision to return at this point," said the source, presumably a close family member. Meanwhile, rumors continue to circulate that Favre is making a power play for more money. Favre's former Packers teammate LeRoy Butler told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he recently heard Favre wanted a new three-year contract from the Vikings worth $13 million annually. If Butler's story is true, Favre not only wants to play in 2010. He wants to play in 2012 and 2013, too.

When you look at it, he's rewinding the whole saga from last year. He's slinging the ball all over the place to high school kids. His arm looks OK and he can move pretty good. No way he's quitting when he can still play at the high level.

Then, he says he's hanging it up. The whole planet jumps on this and the media sharks feed. Now, when he comes back, everybody welcomes him with open arms and the boys are glad to see him back. He's avoided camp and gets what he wants. No camp and a bunch of glory.

He's a Huck Finn forever and always gets what he wants. I don't hate him, but man, am I sick of his goofy, hillbilly act.

The report comes from the Herald's Al Jones, who often breaks the most crucial Favre news. "Brett has not made a commitment to play or a decision to return at this point," said the source, presumably a close family member. Meanwhile, rumors continue to circulate that Favre is making a power play for more money. Favre's former Packers teammate LeRoy Butler told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he recently heard Favre wanted a new three-year contract from the Vikings worth $13 million annually. If Butler's story is true, Favre not only wants to play in 2010. He wants to play in 2012 and 2013, too.

Suppose the world does come to an end in 2012... What will Favre do?!?!?

Favre will show up on ESPN dressed as a Mayan Chieftain and say, "You thought it was over? Well it ain't over 'till I say it's over."

[digitaldean]

Favre over the last several years has played this back and forth crap, so I will believe it when I see it.

I honestly think the BS meter is blowing up right now and ol' Bert is milking this again like he usually does.

I'd say it's 80/20 he'll be back. I'd LOVE to be wrong, because that gives the Packers a better shot at winning the division and going deeper in the playoffs. Yes, I detest Favre's divaness, but he makes the Queens light years better.

[Lurker64]

I think I'll only believe it once he unretires, and then retires again without playing a regular season game.

Get on it Brett!

[gbgary]

ya know...old brett waiting this long to retire (if true) makes it tough for the vikes to find another qb. it'll be rosenfells (sp), jackson, or some guy who gets cut.

hey...old brett isn't so bad after all...he f'ked the vikes in the end so all is right with the world.

[falco]

Let the games begin! :lol:

Did you ever wish partial was around for just one thread?

In a way, Brett's name in the news just demonstrates how enticing it is for a media organization to pump any story about an athlete who has crossed over the entire country like he has. Look at Google's trends or Yahoo! searches and see the kind of traffic he is driving. For a story that stands a good chance of being a true non-story, he is on the front page of Google News and si.com.

In a way, it explains the entire focus on certain stars even in game broadcasts. Its the semi-unfortunate side effect of a sport's, then an individual's, success.

[falco]

Did you ever wish partial was around for just one thread?

how long has he been gone now? as I much as he annoyed me, I miss that kid.

[ND72]

Bert pretty much gets what he wants though, or at least his management crew does. FSPN is at it again, giving an entire station just to Bert Farce...FavreSPN LOVES this stuff. Just stupid....I still say he plays, but who knows. I hope every game the team they play gives up just 1, 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty and dive-bomb his ankle.

Apparantly Favre told Mariucci he has no idea where this breaking news came from and he's still deciding. Ahhhhh, Brett....you will be a soap opera star in your next life...hell...maybe even this one.

[pbmax]

Look at how adult we are all being. Two Brett threads on the front page and no one is freaking out. Nice. Come back Bretsky!

In other Brett news:

Florio names Shiancoe as one player who has admitted getting the "ankle tells me I'm done" text while Jared Allen pleads the fifth.

Brett has not talked to Chilldress. I never would have pictured him in this position when I was yelling at him as OC of the Badgers offense.

Mooch, as you read above and someone in Biloxi named Jones is walking the story back.

Glazer says the Vikes are willing to up the contract.

Florio points out that Favre not only holds most of the cards in the Vikings playoff success sweepstakes, but he holds some serious leverage in the "will the Vikings get a new stadium" question. Our Viking friends Rastak and mngolf and I am forgetting someone else may have to flesh out the details, but essentially, if the Vikes hope to use short term popularity to seal a deal rather than sell to Los Angeles, they need Brett.

This is fun, now that its happening to someone else. Sorry Ras, mngolf, et al.

[packerbacker1234]

The texts, however, weren't even conclusive. IT appears, as more gets revealed, it was just him talking to a few teammates letting them know that tha nkle isn't well, but not that he has actually "given up". As reports have come in, Brett is very much still working on his rehab to come back.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Of course, he is.

This is fun, now that its happening to someone else. Sorry Ras, mngolf, et al.you can add adrian peterson to the short list of players who at least received a text in the last few days, AP comfirmed they exchanged at least texts and possibley a phone convo. during local media coverage on the news, AP refused to say exactly when asked at camp what was exchanged between the two. but as he was commenting about the fact that they did exchange words looked and sounded like something was bothering him, and he barely made any f-ing sense as he was rambling on to reporters about how he personally tries to handle other teammates' business. it was my opinion just watching and listening to AP that the news he received from favre did not make him very happy.

now the vikings have upped their ante to 16 mil plus incentives. he could have asked for more time and more money and gotten it without this drama, if it turns out that these are the things he may be after in this latest turn of events.

[MJZiggy]

If he's after more money, put me down as the one who called that Favre would not be able to deal with a lowly rookie making as much as he did. Just check whatshisname's thread.

$13 million's not enough. I knew this would be entertaining when we got down to the meat of it...

[Fritz]

This comment made me like Nick Barnett as a person:

"We're going to have the same goal whether it's Tarvaris (Jackson), Jeffrey Dahmer or Norman Bates quarterbacking."

He went the serial killer route. Hilarious.

As for Brent, my therapist said something I loved last night. She said, "You know, there is a certain elegance and class to knowing when it's time to give something up."

[MOBB DEEP]

Now he tells Ed Werder, who's down in Miss. at the highschoolers practice this morn, that he never sent text and that he will play if healthy

bananas!

Being from Milwaukee and knowing family members of a Dahmer victim solidified my thoughts that NB is pretty much a weirdo!

Unfortunately that's because a police forensics squad was need to bag the pieces of the Packers after he dismantled them last season.

As to Zig's comment about his salary, he has a case for being underpaid. But he is making it like a Grandmother withholding your XMas presents until you write her back.

Grandpa has MN by the cajones so he sends texts to teammates hinting at retirement knowing full well it will be all over the news like wildfire, with BSPN leading the way. Now there is news MN is sweetening the deal. Coincidence? Not likely. That screwd piece of work has played the retirement card like a violin for years to get what he wants. Thank GOD he is the Heidi Hairs' problem now and NOT ours!! 8-)

[RashanGary]

I didn't mind having Bert on the field. Shit, he was a good player, although too inconsistent and erratic for my taste.

The thing about him that got under my skin while he was here is what a manipulative, lying dirt ball he was and how oblivious people were to it.


No matter what happens, the best thing to come of this situation is that 70% of Packer fans will remember Bert the way he deserves to be remembered. He's a selfish, dishonest fraud of a teammate and person in general that was really good at football for a really long time. That's his legacy.

Good thing we still have Bart Starr to admire.

hahahahaha. . . I really hope this is true.

[mngolf19]

The Vikings are preparing to get on their knees and slurp away.

Vikings I'm now hearing are prepared to do whatever they need, including giving more $$ and more time, to get Favre to reconsider
I'm not sure it's possible to be any more pathetic of an organization. Little wonder the megalomaniac chose them to make a mockery of.

Yea, gotta love watching the Vikings go into full desperation mode.

I don't think I'd call it desperate or pathetic. You have any idea how much money he made the Vikes org last year?

[mngolf19]

pft.com


Let's see what the rest of the NFL had to say about the sport's longest running and highest-rated soap opera.

1. Most Vikings teammates said they hadn't heard from Favre. Jared Allen revealing pleaded the fifth, but did say, "I still hope we see him in a couple of weeks. But the sun is going to rise tomorrow and we're going to have football whether Brett Favre shows up or not."

2. Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on SportsCenter: "I'd be lying if I didn't tell you it wasn't a blow to hear something like that. I feel like it may give us a little setback to our team. But it's not nothing that we can't overcome."

3. Unnamed Jets player: "That's , stringing them along this far."

4. Rex Ryan: "If he's not playing in Week 5, I'll be happy as heck."

[b]5. Best pal, Packers G.M. Ted Thompson: :lol:"I haven't thought of it. To tell you the truth somebody mentioned it to me out on the practice field, and I don't know anything about it."

6. Packers safety Nick Collins: "You know Brett is Brett. We'll see. Time will tell."

7. Packers linebacker Nick Barnett: "We're going to have the same goal whether it's Tarvaris [Jackson], Jeffrey Dahmer or Norman Bates quarterbacking. We're still trying to do the same thing."

8. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher when told Favre wasn't coming back: "Not coming back to training camp?" :lol:

9. Former teammate Dorsey Levens: "I'll be very surprised if he walks away."

10. Mike Shanahan, Keyshawn Johnson, and just about everyone else: "I'll believe it when I see it."

Actually Dahmer and Bates would create great side stories to the game and lots more to watch for if your a Packers player on defense.

I don't think they'll be selling or moving to LA but the rest is true. He generates a ton of positive pub for the org which can only help get a new stadium. And he made them tons of money last year.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Favre brings excitement to the Vikings and Ziggy and Co. can use that emotion to convince the legislature to give them a new stadium. The Vikes absolutely need him to get a new stadium. They have made zero headway prior to him going to MN. Now they can at least talk about it. They need a pro-stadium governor however to have a real chance.

You are correct on some accounts and not on others.

Favre will help, but is not absolutely needed. They are talking in terms of a 40 year lease and Favre could only play ten of those tops :wink:

Wilf has actually made alot of headway since he bought the team. Especially considering the mess he had to clean up from McCombs. The momentum was really building........... then the 35W bridge collapsed and all talk was put on the backburner. The Legislature has finally expressed an interest in getting this done, and for the first time recently said it will do so despite any budget short falls.

This will come down to the Governors race.

Couldn't do it on their own. Not with Chris Carter, AP, Jared Allen. Couldn't sell out games. Almost couldn't sell out a playoff game in 2008. Couldn't bring back Fran the Man, the Purple People Eaters to get a stadium from the legislature. It is all because of BF. :lol: :cry: :oops:

That doesn't require very much imagination. While he was here, the fan base was far more forgiving of his "quirks". And a 14-2 season will engender a lot of good will.

Very few people on this board openly complained about his faults when he was 12-4, 12-4, 10-6 and 10-6 earlier this decade. And in three of those (if not four) we had retirement talk. And Sherman had to call to check up on him and make treks down to see him in Miss.

The plot thickens.


Here is my theory: Brett retired. He found out the story above was coming out. Brett decided he would rather return to the NFL and get pummelled by 320lb DLs rather than face Deanna.

[pbmax]

299 consecutive sellouts?! :? That Favre is quite the fella. Whoever let him go must be an idiot if he can do that much.
Well, sellouts are not a very good measure of intensity of interest. The team and TV stations have a vested interest in making sure those tickets get sold no matter how many deals they have to cut, what price they need to slash them to or whether they need to pick up the tab themselves.

I think its more telling that prior to the recent run, there are plenty of tickets available and a visible percentage of empty seats at the less attractive games. That's not to say they are floundering like the Jaguars, but I would guess 299 sellouts is mediocre compared to other franchises.

It would be more telling to know what number of fans actually attended the game. but teams rarely release the turnstile count.

And how do you know they are being manipulated? Maybe this is all part of the plan. It was last year.

You know what the best part of this thread is. It had to be an ex-Packer that brought MINN to the forefront.

Couldn't do it on their own. Not with Chris Carter, AP, Jared Allen. Couldn't sell out games. Almost couldn't sell out a playoff game in 2008. Couldn't bring back Fran the Man, the Purple People Eaters to get a stadium from the legislature. It is all because of BF. :lol: :cry: :oops:

299 consecutive sellouts?! :? That Favre is quite the fella. Whoever let him go must be an idiot if he can do that much.

I am sorry but when the FOX affiliate has to buy out the last tickets to avoid a blackout it can hardly be called a sell out. When the Vikings make people purchase a preseason game ticket if they want a GB-Minn ticket in the dome during the regular season it just shows how weak the team is. Those are facts. Try to manipulated however you want.

My son who is 3 is like 75,000 on the wait list for season Packer tickets. He should be up when he is in his mid-40s to get them. Hmmm.....

[Little Whiskey]

there is a video of the run in with reporter and favre on 620WTMJ.com

kinda funny.

at the end the guy asks favre to "call me tonight"

on a side note, when i first tried to click on the video, i got a story about a donkey parasaling.

Hopefully Woody can look at the pictures and tell us if it really is his wiener. Why are Viking QB's compelled to do that?


This might help explain why his ankle isn't healing properly. Sure Bert.

[Fritz]

Holy smokes. If there is anything to that Deadspin story, Bert better keep playing and sleep in the locker room, too. Cuz if he ever goes home Deanna's going to make sure any pictures of his dong will show that it is no longer attached to the rest of his body.

Yes, but did he send Visanthe Shiancoe any of those "croc" shots?

[Fritz]

I heard Favre has a big croc. And I've heard he has TWO crocs.

[LP]

Look at how adult we are all being. Two Brett threads on the front page and no one is freaking out. Nice. Come back Bretsky!

In other Brett news:

Florio names Shiancoe as one player who has admitted getting the "ankle tells me I'm done" text while Jared Allen pleads the fifth.

Brett has not talked to Chilldress. I never would have pictured him in this position when I was yelling at him as OC of the Badgers offense.

Mooch, as you read above and someone in Biloxi named Jones is walking the story back.

Glazer says the Vikes are willing to up the contract.

Florio points out that Favre not only holds most of the cards in the Vikings playoff success sweepstakes, but he holds some serious leverage in the "will the Vikings get a new stadium" question. Our Viking friends Rastak and mngolf and I am forgetting someone else may have to flesh out the details, but essentially, if the Vikes hope to use short term popularity to seal a deal rather than sell to Los Angeles, they need Brett.

This is fun, now that its happening to someone else. Sorry Ras, mngolf, et al.

I don't think they'll be selling or moving to LA but the rest is true. He generates a ton of positive pub for the org which can only help get a new stadium. And he made them tons of money last year.

Really? I can't see how an organization that allows itself to be manipulated this way by one person could be seen as a positive candidate for public largess.
That doesn't require very much imagination. While he was here, the fan base was far more forgiving of his "quirks". And a 14-2 season will engender a lot of good will.

Very few people on this board openly complained about his faults when he was 12-4, 12-4, 10-6 and 10-6 earlier this decade. And in three of those (if not four) we had retirement talk. And Sherman had to call to check up on him and make treks down to see him in Miss.

It's nothing to do with his quirks. I just don't see how , as an organization, the Vikings can whine that they need the public to build them a new stadium while allowing one player to shake them down for several million dollars. One player who won't be around to play in it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Of course, when the political types see how easy it is to get money from the team, they will be lined up with support in one hand and the other hand out. But, I digress.

The need a stadium that generates better revenue. They need a stadium to play 10 games a year in. The other 355 days it can be used by the state........ just like the Metrodome. Thus the need for public support. And despite this 10:355 ratio, Wilf is willing to pony up 30 to 40 percent of the cost in personal, liquid wealth. All of this on top of the massive amounts of money he has thrown at the players and coaches on the Vikings.

Pretty sweet deal for Minnesota.

[MadScientist]

Holy smokes. If there is anything to that Deadspin story, Bert better keep playing and sleep in the locker room, too. Cuz if he ever goes home Deanna's going to make sure any pictures of his dong will show that it is no longer attached to the rest of his body.

Great, now he's going to hightail it to MN, otherwise the pictures will be the only thing he has to remember his dong.

When I first heard this on PFT, I thought it might just be some ho looking for attention/$$, but the story, with some confirmation on the voice mails, makes it sound like Bert has gone back to his horn-dog ways.

Honestly too many sources to name. A combination of Startrib, WCCO television and radio I guess. It's a situation I follow closely so it a combination of many sources.

[Scott Campbell]

How do you know Zygi isn't already neck deep in negotiations with LA?

They (Rorski) have approached, but Wilf said he has turned down any communication with them.


Which of course is what he has to say publicly. And it's what he will say, right up to the point where they're ready to announce a deal.

You have no evidence that he's working harder on a deal to stay in MN. For all you know the deal to leave could be done already, and they're waiting for the right time to announce it.

For all you know he may build his own open-air stadium. And there is evidence of him working on a deal in Minnesota, many meetings with politicians and speaches/meetings at the Minneapolis Dunkers Club, a personal appearance in front of the Legislature, none in LA. Therefore you could argue he is working harder on a deal for Minnesota.

Here is my theory: Brett retired. He found out the story above was coming out. Brett decided he would rather return to the NFL and get pummelled by 320lb DLs rather than face Deanna.

In all the stadium talk I forgot I wanted to respond to this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!

Not at all. He's not going to publicly posture for a LA stadium while trying to sell tickets in MN. Any work on a LA deal would be done behind the scenes.

Back when Brett got married and I saw my first pics of Deanna I was annoyed with Brett for hooking up with a NY fashion model. I thought he seemed more like the "marry your high school sweetheart" kind of guy.

Then I found out that the raven-haired beauty with the fashion model figure was actually his junior high sweetheart from back in Kiln. For fishing in the home pond she was quite a catch.

And yes, the alleged recipient of the photos DID look like a XXX cartoon version of Deanna.

I wonder if any real evidence of this will come out. That would be ungood for Favre.

The conspiracy-theory part of me wonders if Favre's recent I'm-retiring-and-texting-people-no-I-didn't-text-anyone-I-might-come-back routine is a panicked attempt to overshadow the potential Jenn Sterger story.

But if any "hard" evidence comes out, Brett better not fall asleep without a cup securely fastened over all his private parts.

[RashanGary]

It's likely late night fodder, but I wonder if the mainstream sports media outlets will try to avoid it.

I think the sports media will be respectful. If he didn't do this, it's horrible to have his name drug through the mud.

Once that girl gets in front of a camera, if she stands by that story, he's going to be in a lot of trouble. I would not be surprised if Bus Cook is on the phone with her right now offering her money to stay quiet on this.

The sports media will likely ignore it, sure. Since they don't want to lose what little access to Favre they already have (and what will Ed Werder do at ESPN if not stalk Brett?), but I don't think the regular media has any incentive to leave him alone. If this gets big enough that mainstream non-sports media is reporting it, jimmy bar the door.

I'm not buying it, although a part of me would be glad because I don't think his fans know what he's about really. Some do and don't care, but there are a percentage that he's done a masterful job of pretending to be what they wanted him to be.

[Fritz]

As for retiring, his most recent statements - he'll come back if he's healthy - suggest that he will find himself healthy in a few more weeks.

It'll be interesting to see if this story develops. Now all we need is for some pornstars to start stepping forward with some Bert cockshots.

The need a stadium that generates better revenue. They need a stadium to play 10 games a year in. The other 355 days it can be used by the state........ just like the Metrodome. Thus the need for public support. And despite this 10:355 ratio, Wilf is willing to pony up 30 to 40 percent of the cost in personal, liquid wealth. All of this on top of the massive amounts of money he has thrown at the players and coaches on the Vikings.

Pretty sweet deal for Minnesota.

I hadn't heard that part, I always thought that part of his contribution was going to come from PSLs and naming right. Where did you get that from? Just curious.

Honestly too many sources to name. A combination of Startrib, WCCO television and radio I guess. It's a situation I follow closely so it a combination of many sources.

Zygi's been vague about where his funds are coming from and the last minute proposals don't mention PSLs or naming rights as far as where those dollars were going to go. I live in the Twin Cities and I haven't seen anything about Zygi's promise of personal, liquid funds being used.

Zygi is all about the real estate development game. That is how he made his money. I think he was willing to throw a bunch of his own money at the project when it included the development around the stadium too……that one they were talking about up in Blaine/Anoka for instance.

If it is such a sweet deal, the state would have already gone for it. Polititions can always find the money if they want it bad enough.

On the other hand, if it's such a great deal, Ziggy shouldn't have any trouble getting private financing. Right?

** Partial is away concentrating on the latest software puter course and being introduced to tequela.

**Sheep is psyched and looking for Jesus. He's back to the Bible.

FAVRE IS NOT COMING BACK.....

Uhhhhhh. Does a bear........ That's right! A little fairy told me today "that Favre will start the season for the Vikings behind their center in the rematch Vs the Saints. mmmmm I'm an Irish Canadian and I believe that fairy.

[Pugger]

It's likely late night fodder, but I wonder if the mainstream sports media outlets will try to avoid it.

I think the sports media will be respectful. If he didn't do this, it's horrible to have his name drug through the mud.

Once that girl gets in front of a camera, if she stands by that story, he's going to be in a lot of trouble. I would not be surprised if Bus Cook is on the phone with her right now offering her money to stay quiet on this.

The sports media will likely ignore it, sure. Since they don't want to lose what little access to Favre they already have (and what will Ed Werder do at ESPN if not stalk Brett?), but I don't think the regular media has any incentive to leave him alone. If this gets big enough that mainstream non-sports media is reporting it, jimmy bar the door.

How many of you saw Werder try to talk to #4 after "practice" with the high school kids yesterday? Usually Favre is all smiles and joking around but not that time! It was evident that Favre had no interest in talking to EW at all. His reluctant answers to Ed's questions were barely audible.

[Little Whiskey]

and very short. brett usually talks on and on, never getting any closer to an answer. just keeps talking.

I'm a little surprised we're not hearing more about the Jen Sterger story. I suppose people are waiting for some physical evidence.

IF it is so that Favre sent pics of his man root to her, does that count as infidelity?

I would say yes.

[Fosco33]

Many husbands/wives have that little rule of 'the list'. In googling Ms. Sterger, she'd make my cut - and I guess Favre makes my wife's cut.

She does have a striking resemblance to a younger, hotter Diana. Wonder how he explains this one to his daughters?

And let's not kid ourselves, while he was technically single for many years in GB, he was definitely out showing his root to any young tail from Madison to GB... with a long-time girlfriend and mother of his children at home.

Price to pay of marrying an egomaniac super-superstar?

When Deanna was younger she was just as hot. Hell, she still is.

Nonetheless, Favre really seems to be more concerned with his image than he pretends, and if any evidence came out that the story is true, it would be a huge blow for a guy whose narrative has been that of the bildungsroman - the young buck who undergoes trials and tribulations (meaning that he's a young horn dog) but learns his lesson and discovers the meaning of true love and selflessness and all that.

He'd have to change the narrative to the old "I'm just human and I'm humbled and now I'll be better than ever." This was Tiger Woods's attempted narrative, but in order for it to succeed his wife would have to stay with him and he'd have to play better golf. A comeback's not a comeback unless you are victorious on the home front and the competetive front. A tall order.

Nice idea Nike.

[Fritz]

Howard, I'm glad you're posting!

I like that we could come up with Favre's next career move if in fact the Sterger accusations turn out to be true.

Favre could make fun of himself in a commercial (as he did with the "indecision" Sears commercial) by having him walking down the street with Deanna. Favre sees a little hottie, starts staring, but he's got a shock dog collar thing on. Deanna hits a button on her remote, Favre gets shocked, and he looks away, ashamed.

Cut to Childress at practice watching Favre. Favre starts to wind up to make a stupid throw. Childress fumbles, trying to hit the shock button. Deanna reaches over to Chilly, and says "no, like this" and she pushes the button, long and hard.

But the play is over, long over, and Favre gets shocked while he's just standing there. He looks over, spreads his arms with that "hey what the f__" look he gives when he wants to blame his teammates for something. Deanna just smiles and Chilly says "Let me try now," and grabs for the remote.

End of commercial.

As I said, it doesn't matter. In advertising, the product is secondary to the emotion the ad produces. You then just link the emotion to the product.

But in this case, the most appropriate "product" might be a BDSM service. And if you could throw in Chilly crossdressing (we've seen that picture on this site!) you'd have it all there.
