[Harlan Huckleby]

hmm strange, i read it on vikings message board, and 2 people on packerchatters said they heard it too

[Harlan Huckleby]

well ..... now a hundred people on PackerRats have heard it too.

I suppose you meant they heard it on the radio. Uhh, they probably heard speculation.

Michael Irvin, of all people, had some interesting things to say in that blog.

"But the reality is now it’s time for him to start listening. His greatest asset is becoming his greatest liability. I hate the fact that you’re sitting here saying, ‘I want to go to Minnesota.’ You hate Ted Thompson that much that you’re ready to kill each one of those Green Bay fans that cheered you on, that are going to put your kids through college? They made you the rich man that you are. Why kill them? Just let that thing go, Brett. Stay retired and you can make umpteen millions of dollars on #4 jerseys in Green Bay. But if you go back to Green Bay wearing that Minnesota jersey? Oh, it’s a wrap, buddy. You lose your whole legacy with that."

Yep. Agreed Ten Fold. Nothing is more certain that that true shit.

[cpk1994]

Yep. Agreed Ten Fold. I am an immature asshole.

I agree. At least you finally admit it.

If he had signed, it would be plastered all over ESPN.com. Since it isn't right now, I will agree with those who say what was heard was speculation.

It's all about revenge and a bitter man that can't let go. The love affair died and he can't get over it and can't let it go.

I'm going with what we all should know about Brett Favre and that's his love for the game and to compete.

To take it to: It's personal or he has something to prove is dark, as mean and prickly as the personalitys of those that post such garbage. I came to know him as a Packer fan and remain loyal to him as the football player he endeavours to be. To respect his style, spirit and play and for all he wants still hopefully to give to the game.

Favre in a Vikings uniform certainly is intriguiging. I would use different adjectives to describe the hatred he gets on this forum from some nobs that don't have the brains to blow powder to hell. Yes! That's you as it fits.

A suggestion Packerrats:

Let go of the man and lets just see what transpires. It's a free world gents but can we be free of ridicule and ignorance here? I suspect that will challenge the small minded among us.

OK, so the "Breaking News on Brett Favre!" stream has gone stale and been resigned to images of fictional childhood heroes and cartoon characters. Seems fitting actually.

What the hell is going on with our old pal? Here's Andrew Brandt's take on the subject. His opinion is certainly consistent with the off-field behavior of Favre over the last few years.

Why doesn’t Brett Favre make up his mind about signing with the Vikings already?

To all those who wish the 2009 version of the Brett Favre miniseries “Will He or Won’t He?” would end, it won’t. I’m a friend of Brett and admire much about him, but I have lived this for many years. My sense is that Brett would rather that someone else – in this case, the Vikings – make the decision for him rather than make it himself.

If the Vikings woo Brett the way he wanted to be wooed in Green Bay last year and was not, and the way he was wooed last year by the Jets, he will likely play in Minnesota. If they don’t and express lukewarm interest, he will probably stay retired.

Yes, Brett was hurt by the Packers’ decision to move on with Aaron Rodgers last year, but that alone will not make him return to play for the Vikings. The Vikings have to court him with the enthusiasm and passion that would make him feel like he’s truly the missing piece. Then, and only then, will he return.

As to the timing, Brett appears to control that. If the Vikings have a strong interest, their interest will not wane and they will give Brett all the time he needs to make a decision.

This is not about a shoulder or biceps injury or an MRI. This is not about whether Brett wants to play. This is not about Green Bay. This is not about how it ended with the Jets. This is about the Vikings and their level of courtship. That’s the primary factor in whether we see Brett wearing a purple uniform.

Nice post Vince.

Now I feel up to date on Favre and a possible return. THANK YOU.

People are entitled to hate Favre or love Favre. People are entitled to hate Ted or love Ted. But when you start calling people stupid just because they don't agree with you, then you are the one that has crossed the line.

[The Shadow]

I'm ok with whatever he does, as long as he does it somewhere other than Green Bay. I sincerely wish, for the sake of his legacy, that he had retired gracefully and with class, but that's not the way it went.
So be it.

Not sure which fits your post more Naive or mean spirited and condescending . But one thing is clear the small minded comment is a cheap shot by someone who most likely has a man crush on Favre.
