Favre to Vikings will not happen!

[Scott Campbell]

You, me and even the players involved may know the real reasons, but the egos of pro athletes are funny. They are easily hurt and sometimes easily bolstered.

True, but I totally get it. Careers are extrodinarily short, and it's a what have you done for me lately business. I think most of us would be subject to some hurt feelings in similar circumstances.

After that Colts loss, I would think that Sage couldn't have any ego left.

Why create a further QB controversy by signing a guy to be the starter, only to find out he can't throw and then have to go back to the guys you essential told weren't good enough?

Didnt they pretty much do this already?

Yes, and judging by the tone of Sage's "No comment" on the situation", he is a pissed off guy.

Sure, but if they never sign Favre they can tell SR and TJ that they thought about it, but were never as serious about it as the media implied, and in the end decided to stick with what they had. If they sign Favre, then he craps out in TC with a bad arm, they can never tell either SR or TJ that they really like them to be their starter. You, me and even the players involved may know the real reasons, but the egos of pro athletes are funny. They are easily hurt and sometimes easily bolstered.

Heck, Favre had talked about retiring for years, had no reason to fear for his job at the time, yet still was insulted when the Packers drafted Rodgers.

But that still probably won't be enough to smmoth over things with Sage as he was traded for. Sage comes into Minnesota given a chance to compete for the job only to be implied to by lloking at Favre, "we know what we said but you still suck, so forget what we said." I think Childress has done some damage that can't be reparied in this whole Favre mess.

Feelings . . . nothing more than feelings . . .

Feeeee - lings! Whoa-oh-oh, feeee - lings!

If you've never been the "man", why would you have a hurt ego? Rosenfels was promised nothing more than the chance to compete. And he got a new contract for 9 mil. Also, if Favre signs he will still be a Viking while Jackson will be released. Doubt this is that big a deal to him. Besides he probably figures Favre to be a 1yr patch at best.

I'll agree. Rosenfels hasn't been good enough yet to have that kind of ego.

Favre is a cancer at this point in his career.

Really? How do you define "cancer"? Any ex-Packer you are pissed off at?

I'll defer to Thomas Jones.

He's the Jets MVP. He played with the guy for a year and I think it's fair to say that he knows him better than you, or anyone else on this board. So yes, I would.

AMAZN how ther are so many favre threads here!

And after your, "It's just another football team" rant pertaining to the Vikings, I don't think you have much leg to stand on with any future Bear hating

But if Favre is signed, he has no shot to compete. Has nothing to do with being the man. It has to do with being promised something than having that promise taken away almost immediately.
