    I'd take Favre in the first half the season over Sage. While durable (starts) his performance wanes the last month or so of the season.

    But Minny has a favorable late season schedule (only cold weather games are late Oct vs. Pitt, early Nov vs. GB and late Dec against Chicago). They also have a month long stretch (bye plus 3 straight home games) in November... scary stuff.

    Almost worth buying home tix vs. MN tickets now (and selling them either way)... would be one of the most watched sporting events in Midwestern US history.

      "Now that the future hall of famer has been released by the Jets, Favre could have new leverage: Give me the $20 million and I'll stay retired. If not, I'll sign with the Vikings and make life miserable for the Packers."

      I would hope that Favre would not do such a thing. It seems unlikely - he's possibly still hurt, but that would be a low thing to do. In the unlikely circumstance that this actually occurred, I would hope Murph would pull the offer right off the table, smile at Favre, and say "See ya in the Metrodome, Purple Boy."

        After the whole fiasco of the last un-retirement, TT stated that the marketing deal would be available when Favre was retired again. This is to the best of my memory, but I can't find the statement. The thought of reading through a bunch of Favre articles from last year just doesn't appeal to me.

        I doubt there is any need for Brett to do anything like this to get the deal.

        Now, about Brett hiring a personal trainer . . .

                  Then why didn't Favre simply say he intended to retire as a Packer this year?

                  Why has Favre's agent been in an extended negotiation with the Jets to get his unconditional release? I heard today that the JEts already denied his release request once earlier this month. Apparently Favre did not ask for his release simply to sign with G.B. to re-retire, that would be automatic courtesy.

                  Why would this release be done in April, just in time to negotiate with a new team?

                  Buzz Cook's quote is PR to cover the possibility that Favre does decide to stay retired, without precluding other options. All signs point to Favre playing in Minnesota.
                  '' All signs point to Favre playing in Minnesota.'' HH

                  It certainly appears that's a strong possibility Harlan. This move to the Vikings plainly fits the big picture and leading the way the fact that Favre loves to compete. The Vikings may well go for Favre. We'll get to witness what was evidently in the works last season. Brett Favre will be playing QB on a superior team to the the Jets in 2008. I was impressed with Thomas Jones at RB as the season progressed but that team was a one trick pony as it became evident that HC Eric Mangini tightened up.

                  An outstanding RB and fine up and developing WR's in Minny will draw Favre back to the game he loves.

                  There's no loyality in PRO sports and Favre will be the first to attest to that. Certainly he may make a move to 'the Vikings' given the way he was taken down by whomever TT answered to. That move to bench Favre for Aaron Rodgers wasn't in TT. It came from above TT IMO. TT is to shy for such a bold step. The Paker brass knew just how to turn Favre away as a measure to move on without another Packer vet.

                  The bottom line. Is he able to get ready? I say yes. Favre is too experienced and 'YES' aging (yet capable ) for a long schedule of pre-season preperation, and then the long season itself. I watched his last game and he was terrible and suddenly brialliant. Up and down but that season was over. Favre was playing 'in shock'. Clearly the Lions share of the blame went on The Jets HC Eric Mangini not on Brett Favre.

                  One more kick at the can? I say yes. How will he do? How can we speculate on that considering Favre is the consummate pro and should receive support overall from his fans.

                    As long as he's not in Green Bay, I could give a rat's behind where he plays.

                      I think he should wear number 2 for the Vikings. He's not half the QB he used to be.

                              You can't pin those 22 interceptions on any coach. Mangini, McCarthy, Sherman - Favre was an equal opportunity choker down the stretch during the twilight of his career. That Jet impostor pretending to be Brett Favre played like a guy who was 39 years old.
