Where do you stand on Favre being a Viking?

[Spaulding]

I loved watching Favre the Packer. I haven't enjoyed the last several years with all the retirement talk. I lost a lot of respect for both the organization and Favre last year. Neither handled it particularly well.

I'm pleasantly surprised with Rodgers, and barring a second starting year slump I think we've got a more than capable replacement.

I surely won't root for Favre as a Viking. I did root for Favre as a Jet. Every game the Vikings win makes it more difficult for the Packers. That wasn't the case with the Jets. We don't need that.

In the end, when he finally retires and patches things up with the Packers, I'll probably forgive him, but, I am not sure I'll ever forget this mess. It is very, very disappointing.

FWIW, I do understand that he wants to continue playing. So did I, but I wasn't even good enough to play in college. But, in the end, loyalty is still a respected value, whether or not he owes it to the organization or the fans. Until I heard the hotel reservation scandal, I held out hope for that, but that hope has faded. If he can play, he'll play.

Pretty much sums my thoughts as well. In one word "disappointment." Disappointment that we had to go through the years of waffling on retirement, disappointment on the way the issue was handled by both sides last year, disappointment that he again pulled the retirement trick, and finally disappointment that he's pretty much all along wanted to play for the Vikings and stick it to TT above and beyond any loyalty or love he had for us common fans.

The real question is whether Favre can be successful over a 16 game season. He has faded in December/January the past 4-5 years. I don't think it's just weather either. He's had poor performances in games where the weather was not a factor. I think the pressure he puts on himself wears him down as the season goes on.

This sorta goes along with being successful, but I wonder what style he will play with. IMO, the Vikings would be better off with someone who takes care of the ball more carefully. Even if they limit Favre's attempts with a healthy dose of AD/Taylor, you still know he is gonna force some passes.

I want him to play for the Vikings so the Packers would have a easier time beating the Vikings. He sucks. He will hurt them more then help them. Ya he will look good beating the Browns,Lions, and 49ers only to get spanked in the game he wants to win the most. If he does play for them I hope the Packers never add him to the Packers Hall of Fame. If they do someone would have to spray paint his stuff purple because that is where his heart is now.

Third. Only way it could be worse is the Bears. Like someone said, if my brother was QB for the Vikes I would hope he goes 0-16.

Right, that the Titans game last year.
Like I said in another thread, I will root for the Packers every game. But if Minny makes it to the NCF Champ game against the Cowpukes or the SB against Belicheat I will root loudly for BF. Not necessarily Minny, but I would root for BF in that circumstance.

I support this idea. He no longer measures up to the standards of our HOF. When he's feeling nostalgic in his old age, let him visit the good folks in Canton. He should stay out of Wisconsin.

My first reaction was to say this is lame. I still think it is, since many Packer greats played for others in their waning years, but I can understand how vitriol directed at Favre is deserved, especially since we have evidence from the horse's mouth that playing for the Vikings, specifically, is vengeful. As I've said before, if Favre plays for the Vikings, I will view him like I did Millard, Carter, Doleman, Randall, Moss, Hovan, Fuller, etc. - and hope he gets the shit kicked out of him on Sundays.

I have heard there are Packer fans in all States, maybe we can force him to stay in Mississippi?

I like it! Would that be legal?

As I said elsewhere, I hope he does play for the Vikings because it's a Greek tragedy (okay, it's not quite tragedy but you get the idea) unfolding in front of us.

It's like watching a car stall on the train tracks. As the train barrels headlong down the tracks, you don't want anything bad to happen. Mostly.

I disagree simply becuase that would be stooping to Favre's level of childishness. The Packers should show the class that Favre currently and severely lacks right now.

I hope the Packers murder Brett Favre and send his head to the Vikings wrapped in leftover fish fry tinfoil.
