Source: Vikings tampered with Favre

[Fritz]

Now, sources are saying the phone records reports are false--as Favre doesn't have a Packers issued cell phone. No players do--which makes more sense.

Hopefully the NFL will let us all know what really happened, or at least what they believe happened.


I really should send TT a fruit basket for helping spark a little interest in July for Viking fans too!

What a guy. He keeps you guys on the edge of your seat and he still has time to make it interesting for me!

According to Tank and a few others, TT is a fruit basket.

Maybe that is why TT is such a good GM--full time attention to football players, without the kind of distractions that affect Tony Romo's performance. If so, maybe there will be a run on gay GM's. (and players?)

Kind of interesting.

The Packers, according to ESPN's John Clayton and others, believe the Vikings tried to stir the pot, if nothing else, by consulting with Favre on his decision to apply for reinstatement. The Vikings, on the other hand, were livid when the Packers initiated a tampering investigation, believing it was an attempt by the Packers to draw attention away from their own missteps.

Those emotions are still bubbling on the surface. Wednesday, we asked Packers coach Mike McCarthy whether he had any competitive concerns about facing Favre on another team, in the NFC North or otherwise.

"As far as where Brett Favre goes or if he's going to go," McCarthy said, "those are all hypotheticals. I'd really like to share my opinion on that, but I'm not going to do that."

In an instigating mood, we encouraged McCarthy to offer that opinion. Alas, he shook his head.

"That's why I'm holding on to this mike," he said, glancing down at his white-knuckled grip on a television microphone stand.

Yeah harvey, McCarthy also told a fan during the "Mike McCarthy Show" that it was hard for him to toe the line with the administration's attempt to "Take the high road."

Given that Favre virtually confirmed tonight that if he can't start for the Packers he wants to join up with the vikes, M3's anger is starting to make a lot of sense.

Also, considering that it's the vikes or bust, these tampering charges seem likely to stick.

It was quiet 15 minutes and I'm bored... I was wondering if Wisconsin had fallen off the face of the earth actually because no one was responding.

Back on topic, shouldn't the tampering case have come to a resolution by now???
