I only thought about buying a Favre jersey and this is what happened. You're welcome Logan (I think it was you that requested I buy a Favre jersey after my Vick and Big Ben ones).

I don't know if it's over or not, but this is clearly all about promoting his new Sears commercial that is set to air in September in which Favre says about people who can't decide between tv's, "Yeah, I hate those guys."

Yes it was. Thank you my good sir, I have a new admiration for our neighbors to the north! Unfortunately he'll make a rumbling about coming back again during training camp, no effing doubt about it. |

I'm shocked. I think this officially does end it. He teased the Vikings too long and seemed to be so intent on coming back that I think any team's interest in him has to fade to nothing at this point. |

The backtracking is going to be nauseating as a Vikings fan. All sorts of players wanted Favre to join. Allen, Peterson, Hutchinson, Berrian. All these guys were calling the goober very recently. Now it's going to be all, "Oh, adding Favre would've been nice, but we've got two very capable quarterbacks in Rosenfels and Jackson."

Please please please let this be the end of it and we stop talking about Favre until he's eligible for the Hall of Fame. Great career, but man this drawn out retirement was not a good move on his part.

What a goof. I'm really hoping for it to keep going though. Just forever. I want to see him spurn two more teams, and then join and ruin a third for the next season.

He ought to go coach HS football somewhere. It would keep him around the game & keep him away from ESPN until the TV cameras showed up to do one of their games.

I think the big thing is the consecutive starts. Once he misses week one I will believe he is done.

Wow, I don't think he's one of the top 40 QB's in the NFL. I don't think Favre is great anymore, I think he's passable. And better yet, he's still well above average on the deep ball. The threat of him throwing deep to Berrian would have made their running game even better (see: Thomas Jones 2008 vs 2007). This leaves them with noone on the roster who approaches passable.

I'll believe it when the season's over and he still hasn't signed with anyone, because I'm calling it right now: at about 3/4ths through the season some team on the bubble and with a struggling (or crap, or injured) QB is going to think about signing Favre (or the sportswriters will do it for them) to get them to the promised land.
Mark my words. On another note, I'd be pissed if I was a Vikings fan. Childress spent all this time screwing around with Favre to no avail when he could have done something more constructive to help his passing game. Now you get to watch ADP run into 11 guys 20 times a game again. |

I just can't imagine that totally avoiding training camp goes over well with all of your teammates. Is getting to know your receivers overrated?

THis could branch off onto another thread/discussion very easily.... Worst ever preparation for a sports comeback?
Even Rick Moranis prepared more then this for his comeback.

+1 I don't even care from a Minnesota/Green Bay perspective, but from the perspective of a fan of the game who's irritated that this guy seems to continually want to have the spotlight on him with his "okay i'm retired this time. absolutely. no way i'm coming back" celebrations to "oh no wait, actually i think i could come back...maybe...let me think about it" changing of his mind...it's just tiresome.

He's kind of a sick man, if the reports about this being motivated by revenge on the Packers are true.
