Source: Vikings tampered with Favre

[pbmax]

Speaking of spin, can anybody remember the start to this story, on the same day (or right around it) that Rodgers "Come along or shut up" SI quote hit the intertubes?

The local radio was flogging this as evidence of the Packer's spin on to get Rodgers off the front page. I don't remember it seeming like a Packer leak, but can't recall the exact story or source.

Anyone remember or have a link?

Fine, trade him to the Vikes for 9 picks. Make him the next Hershel Walker.

Do the Queens even HAVE draft picks left?? Or does KC have all of theirs already?

Only if "all of theirs" consists of 3 picks.

All I can think of is that goofy chopshop photo of Brett in a Queen uni.

What a goddamned nightmare.

What infraction? Nothing has been determined yet as to if there were any infractions.

Fair enough. The alleged infraction.

I don't think the Packers care that much about Favre and Bevell's chats, they are making a point.

They were just talking about wives and tractors.

I forgot....then again, the Queens pissed away 7 draft picks in 2005, so what's wrong with pissing away 3??

This kind of crap goes on all the time; IMO it's a joke. Meant to send a stone the way of the Bus Cook Camp as well as a bit of a message toward the Vikes that they are not going to be allowed to beat us with Favre on their squad.

The AP reports that Packers officials believe the Vikings' interest drove Brett Favre to have a "sudden change of heart" about retirement.

"They feel like Favre had something (in place), and that's why he was so anxious to get his release all of a sudden," a source said. The Packers reportedly believe taped phone calls submitted to the NFL office will reveal "more than normal contact" between Favre and Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Job-related speech with a coach from another team would violate NFL rules because Favre is still under contract with the Pack.

Taped calls? Does TT have phone taps on Favre?

MNF week 1 is going to be VERY interesting.

Maybe James Campen's trip down to Miss. to "talk Favre back into retirement" yielded some interesting results. Perhaps the "Minnesota Bi-Queens" called while he was there and he turned his handy pocket recorder on.

Yeah, I would rather pay Brett the entirety of his salary to sit on the couch until his contract expires in three years than ever see him in a Vikings uniform. My hope is that at 42, having not played football in three years, they wouldn't want him.

Holy cow, what started as a tampering charge could lead to a federal wiretapping charge on someone.....

Actually, I just read the whole story and it sounded more like phone records. It is in the NFL's power to find guilty base on circumstantial evidence. If I recall the evidence against the 49ers was pretty flimsy. It's so hard to prove they like to make a point. One thing that could be a defense is Greta's brilliant question "Would you play for the Minneapolis Vikings"? He said he could envision that. Greta knows her football as a side note.

Is that why she called them the Minneapolis Vikings twice in one night?

Edit: With the wink at the end I am now assming you were joking
