Where do the Favre lovers stand on Favre being a Viking?

I think 007 has a hot avatar.

I supported favre back with the whole thing went down. If he comes back so be it. If another team wants to play him andhe wants to play there is nothing anyone could do. The packers wanted to be rigid with time tables and so on. You don't see that with the Vikings.
But I am a Packers fanand support Rodgers and just see Faver as another player now;. I will enjoyt he drama of it all.

Oh and I don't give a crap what these guys are off the field. I dont' put these people on pedistals. They are sports players that bring me entertainment. This isn't war there are no traders. Its entertainment

Proof of the rigid timetables? Brett retired over a month before the Packers needed an answer. You can't say the Packers were rigid and comparing the Vikings now, to the Packers then is apples to oranges.

I think the Packers were flexible to a fault when it came to Brett. They were just like all the other enablers until last summer.

Everyone here will have his/her own way of remembering Brett Favre - -some choose the worst memories from long ago. He will be favored all the more not only for his talent on the field but his generosity towards people including his team, charities and so forth. Those people will far outweigh the others who remember only the more undesirable memories from his young days.

This is a well stated post. The only way I disagree with it is if Favre puts on a purple jersey which will be a strong memory that many Packer fans will have a hard time overcoming.

Personally, I'll remember that Make-a-Wish presser for a long time. And the pranks (and the colossal gas--I have a theory that his problem in NY was that someone was secretly slipping gas-x into his gatorade, but I digress). But I'll also remember the stupidity and the fact that I defended him saying his word was good, I found I'd been lied to. It's really a mixed bag of memories.

Exactly. Those that think the Packers were rigid don't remember Mike Shernan's years real well.

No doubt.
This season will be all the more fun to watch with Favre right across the border. NFL Entertainment inc. will be must see tv. And we get to play him twice(maybe 3 times if we are lucky) What a fun season it will be.

Florio is reporting Favre has signed.

Correction, WCCO is reporting it.

It says they keep Booty. He'll give up #4. Tavaris is likely to be traded.

Fritz, I'm pretty sure I gave you your avatar. :P

Hi I agree with GrnBay007 I remember him from the time he walked on the field it was nice to actually have a QB that was good and fun to watch we had been so long with out a good QB true we did have magic for a few years but you cant really compare the 2. I also agree with Huly I believe it was him that said what a soap opera it had become and he was sick of it.
I wish Farve luck with what ever he does in life for all that he gave up for the Packers all the times he played when he really should not have , the times he restructured his salaries so we could get better players .
If he goes to the Vikings I will wish him luck that he does not get hurt, I really hope for obvious reasons that he does not have a great yr and I hope we beat him 2 times this yr But I will always Love and appreciate everything he did for the Packers

Which begs the question, what can they get for Tarvaris? A box of kicking tees? Bag of footballs?

Conditional 7th round pick in the 2015 draft?

[MJZiggy]

If Tarvaris "breaks out" with his new team and Sage struggles after Favre is gone, I'm gonna laugh SO hard...

I've said this before, but Tavaris is the first guy I'd keep. His salary is low and I think he could be a great wildcat quarterback. I'd consider keeping 4 QB's and play two of them (Tavaris and Favre). Tavaris about 5 or 10 plays a game as a wildcat QB. He can still throw a little but mostly I'd run him. Peterson will suck the defense one way and Tavaris can run the other or Tavaris will keep defenses honest and Peterson will have better holes.

PFT is saying there IS a contract in place and they have ordered purple #4 jerseys

Was that you? I remember being unsure and thanking someone - must've been you - long ago.

But thanks again. I love it and do not have the skills to create such a thing.

And Jennings is signed - my avatar swells with pride!
