How can the Vikes not throw some serious ching his way in order to get this done? Big time error in judgement imo. The window of opportunity is short.

You sound really disappointed that you're not going to see Brett in purple.

He was going to dress up his Barney with a Viking helmet and #4 jersey... Wouldn't you be disappointed if all those grand plans went to waste ?

Sparkey what is your avatar? I have always wondered.

1. They have seen his diva act for the last 2 seasons.

2. They saw Mangini get fired in part, some say becuase of Favre.

Gee I wonder why Childress isn't that interested.

I can't deny it, while I find the thought of Favre in a Vikings uniform apalling, I also found myself really starting to look forward to November 1st. If it doesn't happen now, that date is going to be totally anticlimactic.

I sure hope this is true. To repeat what others have said, i can get over what happened last year, but if he came back for the Vikes I don't think I would ever see him the same way again.

Childress WAS interested. Favre turned him down. At least that's the story being reported right now anyway.

If this is true, good for you Brett. I hope this is true and stays true.

How much do we really need to get up for a Viking game?

WEll, that leaves one question, if Childress was really interested, why did he not go to Hattiesburg?

My guess is Childress wasn't that interested but kind of made an obligatory inquiry.

If this is true it's only sadening that I'll never get to watch him play anymore.. Say what you want but he was the best player I'll ever watch when you take every aspect into it

Well he walked into the Vikings HQ this morning at 7am. He went to work. Probably explains why he was in Minnesota this morning. Who first reported the story that they were meeting today in the first place? Ask him what happened.

Favre wouldn't have needed to phone the Vikings to tell them he wasn't interested in the job if the Vikings hadn't told him they were thinking of offering him a job. I'm pretty sure Childress was fairly interested in having Favre under center.

I agree, but he is not that player anymore and I think it would be sad to see him stay too long, especially in it was in purple.

Well, I'm 38. I think Favre is in the top 5-6 QBs of all-time, but he's not the best player I've watched in my lifetime. The only thing that is sad that this didn't happen last year, but if it's true, I can look past last year.

just twirl your pointed finger to the sky and say "i'm gone"
good job brett, i think irv would be happy to here this too!

now maybe the packers can retire this man's number proudly!
