Report: Favre is on a plane to Minnesota

[BlueBrewer]

Man that guy is a son of a bitch. What a joke he has become. The only bigger joke than Favre right now is Childress. He looks like such a little bitch right now. WTF!!!!!!!!!! I so wanted to be able to like Favre again....so much for that.

[OkayKyle]

So pumped for this season

[BlueBrewer]

Wonder how it'll feel to him taking snaps in the Metrodome, dressed in Purple with the crowd actually cheering for him.

Half a crowd!!!

Big Deal

He makes them a better team but still not a big deal. At this point in time, Rodgers is still the best QB in the NFC North and he has the most talented group of wideouts in the league period.

[hoosier]

minny is ALREADY most talented team in nfc.....

pack and minny will play THREE times this year

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO..........

Do you really think Favre will increase the Vikings chances of success this year? My gut feeling is that this development will not go well for Minnesota, this year or in the future. Favre's talents, or what's left of them, don't mesh particularly well with the offensive talent Minnesota already has in place, which is predominantly run-oriented. Their team would be much more of a threat, IMO, with a QB who knows how to take care of the ball and who doesn't try to do too much. Take their impenetrable run defense, their phenomenal rushing offense and add Favre and what do you get? A monkey wrench in the well oiled machine. In that sense I couldn't be happier to hear that Favre is joining the Vikings. I hope Chilly doesn't wise up and call this experiment off before the regular season starts. By the same token, any hope of Jackson's development are now put on hold for another year, they still won't know what they have in Rosenfelds, and the team loses a bit more confidence in Chilly's good word. All of this is good news.

The decision may be above Childress.

The Vikings know he will fill seats, something they haven't exactly been stellar at over the past few years. Unless of course, at $3 a piece, lol.

I'm about sick to my stomach right now.

I knew he wouldn't let me down.

I'm leaving, on a jet plane.


Don't know when I'll be back again.

You're showing your age, Fritz! Peter, Paul, and Mary would be proud of you!

I agree. The Packers have the better offense in my opinion. The Vikings have the better defense......maybe. But depending upon what happens with Pat and Kevin Williams, that may not be true. Even with those two I think the Packers have closed the gap. Everybody on ESPN is sayin that the Vikings are now clearly the team to beat in not only the NFC North but the whole NFC and I just don't know that I see it that way.

I also heard Mort say that he visited the Vikings almost two weeks ago and players were telling him that Favre would be a part of the Vikings if he didn't have to go through the early parts of training camp. He didn't want to stay in dorms, etc. Really? That is exactly the sort of shit nobody on the Packers wanted to deal with anymore. I think it's clear that Rodgers is the better QB at this point in their careers and he comes with less baggage. Is there anyone out there who honestly can still say that the Packers made the wrong choice?

I would say the Vikes have the better run D but I'm not sure about pass D. It's always been their achilles heel.

[CaptainKickass]

This season just got more "dramatic"...again.

I won't believe it until I see the headline that says he ACTUALLY signed.

Maybe he just flew up there to sell that damn condo he laid down cash for.

The Packers made the wrong choice last year.

The problem as I see is that Favre doesn't have to be a big deal, or the best QB in the NFC North for the Vikings to be a contender. All he has to do is make the plays that a starting NFL QB should make. The Vikes haven't always gotten that from their QBs the last couple seasons. If their defense remains solid and Peterson remains healthy, Favre might be the last piece that the Vikings need.

lol @ favre leading the nfl in 3rd down fumbles last year

Well I guess there is at least one person out there who can say they made the wrong choice.
