FAVRE TO HAVE SURGERY

[Scott Campbell]

Where Mom gave me life. Favre certainly gave me alot of great memories as a Packer fan.

I for one enjoyed the comparison between your Mom, and Brett Favre.

Yes Scott and I didn't realize you had heard of Verna. More on that. My mother was one tough Irish Canadian cookie. Like Brett Favre, Verna had a strong will and spirit. Like Brett Favre she was a winner.

I can relate. Lately Brett's been acting a lot like my mother - hot flashes and mood swings. And like Brett, I suspect she's going to go kicking and screaming when it's her time for the old folks home.

Then (maybe) he needs to get his body north where the climate has generally been more fitting to his skills. Can you imagine the hype for Favre and the Vikings Vs the Green Bay Packers? The media would love it and the NFL will be better for it too.

Why stop in MN?

Scott:

Winnepeg can't even support a NFL hockey team. Besides the pays not enough up here Scott and what about transportation? Cars are on the way out in favor of bicycles. Farming without fertilizer would mean a browner lawn. Too many save the seals and whales etc. campaigns to place sports like football on the back seat.

Brett Favre would be ' just a guy ' in Canada.

If Brett brings Bus Cook along, you won't be hurting for fertilizer.

Now there's the rest of the real story.

Wow, goes from left field and takes the unexpected shot rather than the wide open obvious one. Well played!

Ahh yes, but do you underestimate the impact of the pitch man? The set up?

This is where the real thing is:


Borrowed from the opinion on another thread. NFL top rivalries.

5. Vikings vs. Packers

Not only have these two teams despised each other for years (the Packers' surprising struggles last year dropped the ranking a tad), but for most of the past two decades the franchises have battled head-to-head for NFC division crowns, from the Central to the North. And if ex-Packers legend Brett Favre actually does un-retire to play for the purple instead of green and gold, this rivalry will rocket right to No. 1. -- Adrian Hasenmayer (AP Photo/Mike Roemer)

GO PACKERS!

So, he apparently already had the surgery last month.

He'll be playing for the Vikes this year.

god damn it! this had just started to become a place you could bring your kids again!

[Bretsky]

Yes he will be; this was not a hard one to call on draft day

[ThunderDan]

Wow... hard to beleive it took this long to leak that the surgery was last month.

although I don't doubt the report is true, it'd take seeing Favre's stitches to convince me it happened. So many reports have been contradicted in this affair that you can't believe anything.

man I can't wait until this fall.

Exacty. ESPN has been wrong many times already(breathlessly reporting outside Favre's home that Brad Childress was there while Minneapolis TV stations clearly showed Brad at Vikings HQ at the same time at the top of the list). ESPN must figure if they make enough guesses they are bound to be right once.
