SHARPER SAYS NO WAY LORD COMES TO QUEENS....

[Patler]

I think it's 50-50. Something to think about when determining if it's likely the Vikings or Favre or Bus Cook tampered. Favre seems convinced the Vikings would take him if the Packers don't want him. Considering the Vikings have never publicly acknowledged interest in Favre, how would he know this? I'm not saying the Vikings went to Favre to say they are interested, but I'm pretty sure it got talked about. Even that is supposed to be against tampering rules. Goodell just wanted to sweep this under the rug--just like he did with Spy Gate.

Yup. I agree with that summary 100%. No way was this tampering charge going to add more fuel to the fire surrounding Favre.

And I agree with your agreement.

REMINDER: Favre wants to play for the VIKINGS!!!!

And your evidence of this is what?

There's also another quote in which Favre says if he can't play for the Pack, he wants to play within the division "for obvious reasons."

There is evidence here, Leap.

I agree there is evidence that Favre would like to go to the Vikings if the Packers refuse to allow him to even COMPETE for a spot on the roster.

I don't agree that there is evidence that Favre only wants to play for the Vikings and really has no desire to play for Green Bay.

How about his strange unretire/re-retire after it appeared that Packers were happy to have him back.

How about all the negative statements that came out from his family and agent conveniently right as a rumor got out that he was coming back?

How about all of his statements complaining about TT and about how he wanted a different head coach?

How about his nearly immediate request to be released?

Is it definitive? No, but it is evidence.

I'm not sure whether the Vikes want Favre. Me thinks the Vikes are behind T-Jack more than some may think. Not saying he isn't on a short leash, he definitely is, but I don't think the Vikes are awaiting a Packers phone call with baited breath.

If he really gave a shit about us, he wouldn't want to go to the Vikings under any circumstance.

I think it is the opposite. If he didnt care about the team he would have moved on. He wants to play for the viking for revenge against the team who doesnt want him back. I hope he doesnt but it really shouldnt be a surprised that he feels that way.

Exactly. His 1st choice is obviously starting for the Pack, but if you're not wanted why not go to another team that's poised to make a SB run and get to face your old team twice with a chance to show what they gave up? Can't really blame him for feeling that way either.

He wants to play for the Vikings to stick it to TT.

In the process, he slaps us loyal fans in the face. If he truly cared about his fans, he would never think to do this. He'd find some other way to screw TT over.

This is what I'm saying. It'd be like someone in Poland in 1945 moving to Germany cause he was pissed at his parents.
