Madden will come out of retirement to do commentary on that game.

Maybe SS can enlighten me, but I just don't understand ESPN's infatuation with everything Favre. "Favre Latest" "What should Favre do?" "Word on the Street" "Favre vs. Jackson" "Vikings QBs" And that's all in like a 30 minute span.

Oh, and the ESPN Pulse of the Fan Poll:
"What do you want to see Brett Favre doing in September?"
a) fishing in Mississippi
b) doing color commentary
c) playing for the Vikings

It's no wonder everyone is so sick of this guy.

As long as he's not linked to the Skins in any way, I could really care less if he plays or not.

Exactly. Actually it is good that he is with a potential playoff team because if he doesn't miss a game (which is pretty likely) then he will have been beaten up and playing like crap at the end of the year. In a perfect world maybe we could have a playoff game against Minny and we could intercept him 4 times and kick the crap out of them like we always do when it counts.

Yeah, me too.

He didn't play THAT bad before his injury last season. The Jets looked great in the first half. He might still be able to play.

Leading the Vikings would also be much easier than trying to succeed on the Jets' offense. They could make him look very good.

Besides, he's probably a better bet than Sage Rosenfels, Tavaris Jackson or Gus Frerotte to get them though the postseason.

If his shoulder is right I think he would be a good fit for the Vikes and he would definitely make them an instant contender.

I thought his shoulder was fine...thought it was his biscep?

Yeah it was his bicep that was causing pain in his shoulder.

Yeah. It kind of seems that his shoulder worn due to age and that is what debilitated him down the stretch last year.

I'd still love to see him play for the Vikes and stick it to the Packers for the sake of theatrics. It only benefits spectators to see that storyline.

And just like Matty said. As long as the Skins aren't being thrown around as suitors I don't care where he goes.

Favre not signing with Vikes, stays retired

Now you guys will never hear of Hattiesburg, MS, ever again!

I doubt this story is done

I sure hope it is. All Favre did today was reaffirm his retirement decision, and yet the amount of press is still nauseating. I swear, he could fart in the wrong direction and he would still get some sort of special coverage.

I'm sure we'll get doused with Favre all over again come July. At this point he doesn't want to deal with OTA's and the other offseason stuff. He'll probably show up for training camp with the Vikings and further tarnish his legacy to play one more season out of spite for Ted Thompson.

End rant.

I believe it's Texas that only has steers and queers. Ask Romo. Favre isn't out of the picture yet.

LOL...yeah it is, but it works on so many places...besides, Hattiesburg isn't that far from Texas anyway.

Has there been a beloved athlete in recent memory to do more to completely turn people against him in such a short time? Barring your Vick's and cheating baseball players of course. As someone who was way ahead of his time in Favre hatin' I'm pretty amazed at how tired people have gotten of him.
