Favre to stay RETIRED. Per Yahoo sports.

As for Vick, having to find a QB becuase your franchise one went to prison is a lot different than the Vikings who had garbage to begin with. Thank YOu for being a cock.

The falcons picked up Harrington prior to Vick's scandal with the dogs...he was a planned backup.

Harrington I believe was also unemployed at the time. Hardly the same as Sage.

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.

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


You might want to review your facts dude.

According to the JS $5million + was committed to Sage--Spielman's boy.

[rbaloha1]

[/quote]Than that theory kind of proves my point. Spielman made the trade becuase he wanted him to be the starter. They would never say out loud to anyone that "Sage is the guy" becuase you can't be 100% certain that Sage is that superior to Jackson. Unlike the Bears where Cutler is a far superior upgrade to what they have.[/quote]

Exactly. Favre messes up the situation. Recall the Jets -- forced to trade Pennington and forced to take Sanchez.

Actually we should be hoping Favre goes to the Vikings and disrupts them. BTW the Minnesota gov. is a piece of work with his comments.

2 yrs 9 mil is not a huge contract. Favre made 12 last year alone.

My take - he wanted to just play, no practice/training camp.
Vikes were smart enough to say 'nope' and let him say he was retired still.

Here's hoping he takes a 6 month European tour to get rid of this 'itch'.

Will Favre have that surgery done, I wonder?

It couldn't hurt, whether he's going to play again or not I think he should get it done.

Not all GMs are created equal. Rastak can correct me, but I think in the Triangle of Authority ™, Spielman and Childress are on par with Rob Brzezinski. I don't think Spielman has the authority to hire or fire the coach.

I also have read that its believed, right now, that Childress is wielding the biggest stick among the three, not Spielman. So even if you have deduced Spielman's intent correctly, it may come to nothing. Shack Harris lost this same battle in Jacksonville to Del Rio. And Harris had the far more accomplished QB (Leftwich versus Sage).

Also this breaking news, Rich McKay has not been a member of the Buccaneers front office since before PackerRats was born (left for Falcons in 2003). Bruce Allen came over from the Raiders about the same time as Gruden, although his title was not GM and he did not have authority over the coach either.

[Bretsky]

Let's hope it's true. If it's true, I personally can get over the ugly divorce of last year. Not that Brett or the Packers care. If it is true, then let's make amends by getting Brett's number retired against the Vikings at Lambeau this year.

highly doubt Favre retired til TTT is gone

Its relative. Good size contract for a potential backup. Add Favre whats the cost for one position.

Who do you think would have a problem with it, Favre or Thompson? I don't see Thompson holding it up. If Favre stays retired, perhaps he has gotten over last year.

Why would Thompson have a problem with it??

Bus Cook, Favre's agent, told NFL Network's Scott Hanson that he had a Thursday morning conversation with his client, who didn't mention any phone call with Childress.

Favre doesn't have to inform his agent becuase as far as Bus is concerned at this point Brett is still retired. I don't think Brett has to tell Bus I'm still retired. I think Bus is working the media again for a later date.
