yea, ESPN is to blame but so is Favre/Childress.
they are the ones that plant these monthly "he's undecided" and "vikes say favre has no timetable" and "childress says favre can take his time."
sure, ESPN sucks them up and "reports" them as "news" but Favre, Childress and the Vikes could come out and say what we all assume: he's planning on coming back. we ALL know that favre/childress spoke and that's his plan and that they'll play the "undecided" game all summer so they both can save face when he skips camp again. if he was really undecided, there would have been more talk about Minny being in the mix for JC or Clausen.
i'm not saying the ankle surgery is a lie, but as someone else pointed out, it will be the perfect excuse for Favre/childress so that he can miss camp with a good reason. last year he technically hadn't signed so everyone was all about the hype and the newness of #4 in purple. but that's gone. he's under contract and as the leader on the field SHOULD BE AT CAMP. but he wont be. so i think they are playing games and i've lost a lot of respect for him. all this shit about how much he loves the game and is The Greatest Teammate just doesn't ring true. go to camp. a vet qb can surely have a lighter load and be excempt from a bunch of stuff, but he should be there. it's crap.
