OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[mraynrand]

You never know what is going to happen, good or bad.

Well, for over a decade, you pretty much know it's going to end badly.

Who gets the privilege of driving him to camp?

Longwell.

No word on whether they stopped by Applebee's on the way in.

Who gets the privilege of driving him to camp?

Apparently Chilly is taking a hardline approach this year. None of that driving Favre around.

Excusing three of his best players to fly to Bumblefuck, MS in the middle of a training camp week should really show everyone who's wearing the pants this time around.

And of course the answer is nobody. Favre's are around his ankles and each and every Viking is taking his turn bending over.

No JA, Hutch and Dipshit kicker who is too good for GB all wanted a day off.

Without (cellphone) pics, it didn't happen.

Well, I appreciate exciting players - that is why I like favre, and he is exciting to watch on the field. You never know what is going to happen, good or bad, and you always see plays you just rarely if ever see happen, and usually in the biggest moments (at least, in the regular season). He is possibly the best regular season QB of all time, right there with Peyton Manning (who has just as many struggles in the post season as #4 has) - but both have remarkable regular season records.

He is a "great" QB - one of the greatest to ever play. I enjoy watching him.

So he is a diva? He is merely what us in GB turned him into. Can't blame the guy when we worshiped him for parts of two decades.

There is the problem. We were all fans and he was fun and exciting to watch. Only some crossed the line and worshiped him - not the average fan.

At this point, the Vikings handling of this situation is even more embarrassing than Favre's.
And that takes some doin'.
I'm starting to think Favre's a plant to destroy the Viking organization. Have they NO pride?
Come to think of it, they have NO Super Bowls so I guess pride is a moot point with the organization.

InsideNFLmedia #NFL Network report on #Vikings Brett #Favre: He has boarded a plane and is heading north... more news to follow on #NFL Network & NFL.com.

Here's hoping it was the 2005 Favre that got on that plane.

+2. I for one also saw Favre as a flawed QB.

He is a flawed QB - he is a risk taker, and risk takers make mistakes, and the problem is that favre never learned, in playoff games, when taking that risk was the stupidest decision ever.

However, most QB's have flaws - there really is no "perfect" QB, and there are way to be ways to judge what makes you a good QB. THat is why I said he is exciting, and it's really hard to deny that. I was crushed inside when he made that play to greg lewis against the 49ers, but it brought up memories of times similar things happened to us, like first play of OT against denver in 2007. He is exciting - things seem to happen when he is around.

I also don't blame the vikings for doing what they have done with #4. He is possibly the best QB in the history of their organization. It is true they need his stellar play to WIN a SB, the question is - after doing it twice in 3 years, can favre finally play it safe late in a tied game?

History says no, but fo rhte vikings, they have to try it.

@media twitters and tweets about Favre on a plane: Oh Jesus fucking Christ people. Tiger Woods just fucked up a whole golf tournament and possibly a good chunk of his career. Can't you report on that for a while? Maybe find another player to report on, you know, WHO'S ACTUALLY IN CAMP?

Thanks for your attention to this matter cause I don't give a flying fuck anymore except for the comedic value. Multi-millionaires begging another multi-millionaire who can no longer move in the pocket to come back and get sacked for 4 months...

There has been no official word yet on Favre returning to the Vikings. There are a couple of big reasons why they want him back and neither have to do with his play on the field.

1) His presence alone causes players to perform better.

2) The Vikings want a new stadium and Favre is a cash cow.

I have not read one report from the Vikings, Longwell, Hutchinson, or Allen that says they went there to "beg him" to play. Every single source that cites this, it is their opinion, not fact. This reminds of the whole Favre debacle when he left Green Bay. Some reporter goes and states their opinion, then it gets blown out of proportion and becomes "fact". Reality isn't very exciting sometimes but jumping the gun and buying into opinion without facts is over-reacting just a tad.
