a good reasonable, thought out, logical post by HW without any extreme bias
And that's an extreme rarity in Favre threadsTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

All that seems reasonable Favre, but you seem to be assuming that the public face the Vikings are putting out isn't misdirection, a swerve, or otherwise a lie. This isn't exactly a Vikings regime that's known for being forthcoming. I mean, Brad Childress does hold a card in front of his face when he calls the plays for fear of lip readers.
I don't believe anything anybody has said since this whole Favre drama 2009 started.</delurk>Comment

Re: The Truth About The Favre Situation
Great job posting the TRUTH,problem is the majority on this board are not interested in the truth. They would rather post lies and bash Brett every chance they get.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersThis coming from Paul Allen, radio voice of the Vikings. Three things about Allen: 1) he's good at what he does, 2) he's a big-time homer, 3) it's likely that he's relatively plugged into the team he covers and he seems to be certain of the following:
The Vikings are still interested in Brett. Brett wants to play for the Vikings. If the surgery works, he'll be a Viking. There is a soft deadline for around the middle of July (just before Vikings training camp). The Vikings want to avoid an even bigger distraction that would be caused by Brett coming in during the middle of the preseason (ala the Jets). Chilly's comments on the radio today give credence to this angle. Chilly said that he's interested in seeing if Brett still has his cannon or something to that affect.
Allen said this story has been like this for about a month, and that the national (ESPN) reports have mostly been erroneous.
Now, considering that the surgery is relatively minor, I put the odds of Brett playing for the Vikings at about 90%. Of course, the arm isn't feeling right. He just had the surgery. From what I've read, the tendon has little to do with arm strength. I expect than when Brett's arm is feeling better, he'll be able to show the Vikings enough arm strength to ease their concerns.
The other reports are to get the press off the story for now--which really isn't going to work.
Personally, I'll have less respect for Brett, but it will certainly make the season more interesting. It's a free world, and he can do what he wants to do. Of course, I hope he struggles (but only because he'll be wearing purple), but I wouldn't be surprised by how he plays this year (good or bad). I'm hopeful that another offseason of sitting on his tractor will lead to a so-so season for him (and ultimately a disappointing season for the Vikings).
That's it. I've had little to say about the story, and I'll strive to continue that. Now, onto more polls.

Re: The Truth About The Favre Situation
This particular story, the truth in whether there was a deadline or not, truth in whether the Vikings are interested or not... I don't recall any bashing on this particular subject. The bashing has been focused mainly on whether or not Favre SHOULD play, not whether or not he CAN play. The VAST majority of people here all agree that Favre CAN play if he wants to, we are just in disagreement on whether or not he should.Originally posted by PackerarcherGreat job posting the TRUTH,problem is the majority on this board are not interested in the truth.

To the fans who feel he should stay retired (out of loyalty to the Packers) - would it make a difference if TT would have cut Favre (without Favre ever trying to retire) vs. Favre retiring and then trying to come back?
I am just trying to see how far loyalty should go. If a team cuts a player, and that said play goes to their rival, is that wrong? Does it matter how long that player was with the organization?'Til the EndComment
