Report: “Favre Can’t Stand Green Bay”

[BF4MVP]

Sounds like Chilly is putting on the full-court press for Favre.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress and quarterback Brett Favre plan to meet at an undisclosed location later this week to discuss the possibility of the former Packers and Jets quarterback renouncing his retirement from the NFL to play the 2009 season with the Vikings, according to a source with direct knowledge of discussions between the two parties.

There is a mutual understanding that sometime soon thereafter Favre will decide whether to sign with the Vikings. The team would expect him to participate fully in offseason minicamps and training camps, which he missed last year with the Jets.

Favre has not been working out and declined to have surgery to repair the torn biceps tendon that plagued him the final month of last season.

As if everyone and their mother didn't see this coming

Let him sign with Minnesota and embarrass himself..He can't play anymore.

I can't believe how much has changed. Ten months ago, Not only was he my favorite athlete ever, but he was one of my favorite guys ever. The guy who played for the Packers is still my favorite athlete but if he signs with the Vikings then I have no respect at all for Favre the person anymore. Hell, I'd sell my autographed jersey but it's probably worthless. No Packer fan will want to buy a Viking player's jersey, and no viking fan will want to buy a Packers jersey..So I guess I'm stuck with it.

Lilke Jim Rome said..He doesn't even have any reason to hate the Packers. He retired, and they had a 24-year-old quarterback who was ready..They made the right move..

Not to mention, if you put all that aside and just watched them both play last year, there's no question that Rodgers is the better quarterback, by far. Favre had a good September. That's it. After that, he was mediocre, followed by an atrocious December.

I don't think Favre is bitter about the fact that the Packers decided to go with Rodgers after he announced his retirement. I think the rift between Favre and Thompson is what caused the retirement. I think Favre became convinced (rightly or wrongly) that he was not wanted in Green Bay. I suspect he retired because he didn't at the time think that playing for someone other than the Packers was a viable option. Eventually, probably prodded by Bus Cook, he changed his mind.

By the way BF4, when Favre is inducted into the HOF, that jersey will be worth a lot of money.

Last year I went to two packer games (one pre-season, one regular) and both games were filled with people in Favre "jets" jerseys. I wonder if there will be a similar smattering of vikings jerseys?

Anyone got any tickets to the vikings game they want to sell at face value?

Just a friendly warning. Don't make the same mistake as Jets fans and buy a jersey for a guy who plays for you for one year and lets you down in December and January.

Nah, I'll pass but I know some folks at work who'll do it just to drive the Pack fans nuts

This is what I find most amusing. It's as likely that Favre will disappoint them than lead them to the top (especially since expectations will be sky high). I personally don't care. It will be fun. They'll remain the favorites to win the division, but I don't see it leading to postseason glory.

I don't disagree, but I know of three or four guys at work that would cringe big time every time they saw one. Unless he completely imploded, which remains a distinct possibility.

Hard to say if Favre has anything left without knowing the condition of the shoulder. However, if Favre is the Viking quarterback, I am very confident that the Packers will be a better team post-Thanksgiving than the Vikings.

Not so fast....my scenario has him hitting the bench as he starts to fold with Rosenfelds starting the last 6.

Then Chilly will feel the wrath of Greta Van Susteren.

Nah, she didn't even know they were called the Minnesota Vikings, I'm guessing she knows one football team, and that's it. Then again, not knowing about something probably hasn't stopped her before, you could be right.

[Bretsky]

It would be awesome if the Rodgers led Packers played the Favre Led Vikings for the NFC Title

Hey hey hey, you heard it here first .........my early prediction
