Favre to stay RETIRED. Per Yahoo sports.

This is far from over. Typical BF was testing Minny's love and commitment.

As reported Spielman brought in the high priced Sage and is committed to him Childress is such a weasel its difficult to gauge who he truly wants to be the starter.

If both Minny qbs ahe lousy preseasons expect Favre to be summoned.

Two more thoughts from Falco.

#1) Its not about the money - although Favre will certainly milk every dime from them, I have to believe he'd play for the Vets minimum if thats all he could get. I think its strictly about wanting to come and play on his terms/timeline.

#2) There is no other place for Favre to go but Minny. They are the only team to have such a stocked offense but still have Favre be an improvement. I can't imagine him going anywhere else.

Washington Redskins maybe. Pretty good set of WR's, an exceptional RB, an owner who has a predisposition to buy up aging talent, and a quarterback who feels slighted for having been named as trade bait twice. I could see him playing for the Skins if he really wanted to.

I think Childress handled this very poorly. It had to be an all or nothing move. EIther say no from the start, or put an all out blitz on Favre. Now he is stuck with having try to tell Sage "You are my guy" after his actions clearly showed he didn't think Sage was that at all.

Completely disagree. If the dude doesn't want to play, he doesn't want to play. No "all out blitz" is going to change that. Chilly was quite up front. He said he'd likely talk to him to see if he had any interest. Sage has been promised NOTHING to this point. He has nothing to explain unless he publicly offered Favre the starters job with no competition. Sage was told you'll have a fair shot to win the starters job....and that's what he's got. He was interviewed earlier this week and indicated he could care less about the Favre stuff. He said he needs to worry about getting himself ready and nothing else.

On a final note, part of me is dissapointed because of all the fun storylines that would have ensued. But from a football standpoint, I think it worked out for the best.

I agree with you 99% - both about Sage and about Favre. I think Favre vs Rodgers/Thompson/Packers was going to be THE pre-eminent storyline in the NFL this year. However, I also believe that if Favre committed himself 100%, got in shape, attended all the mini-camps, etc - that he could be the difference between the vikings losing in the first round of the playoffs and going to the superbowl. I think Rodgers > Cutler (I'm a homer) > Favre, but I think Favre (100% committed) > Jackson/Rosenfels, and I think a 100% committed Favre + the rest of the vikings team would have to be the favorites in the NFC.

Just my 2 cents.

Again, look at the record of Brett before the injury. 25-6 in the 31 games prior to the arm. What makes Cutler better than that unless the bicep hasn't healed? Or for that matter ARod? That said, I'm happy he's apparently done. Too much of a circus, too much division among Packer fans!

Maybe, but their defense sucks and their administration seems to be in a disarray.

High priced Sage? Commited to him? What have you been smoking?


You might want to review your facts dude.

Just my opinion man.

That would be a horrible fit. He needs to limit his throws and with that kind of defense he'd have to wing it all day long.

I guess it's safe to release Rastak from protective custody now.

I'd agree with you if not for the fact that they just TRADED FOR Sage. Traded is the key word. Its not like he was playing for the Vikes last year and didn't play to expectations. You just brought in a guy to compete with the job only to pull out the rug rom him becuase if Favre signed, Sage has no shot. You are basically telling Sage, "We know we traded for you, but you still suck, so we are going to bring someone else in and automatically give them the job." It was a huge mistake on Childress part.

You don't trade for a QB unless you are planning to make him your starter.
