re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
Its Brett Favre, if Green Bay's front office ever gave shit when he was there, all those years of passing up on great talent never giving him the peaces to have a real chance at winning thats there fault. Brett is a winner and u can't hate him for just wanting be with a winning organization, he still has some gas in the tank. Last year Green Bay still was dictating were he could go, now with the release from the Jets he is free to do what he wants. Brett was more than loyal to Green Bay u really cant say that for them.
The Vikings Im sure they gave Brett this extra time to rest his arm after his surgery. There a lot of vets in the league that dont want to participate in the off-season. He being a Diva maybe, but when he is on the field u cant say he doesnt give his all. |

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
The vikes may have a pretty solid playoff caliber roster, but Farve can streak shoot his team into or out of a game pretty quickly. I just can't see him playing really well late in the season unless somehow he's rested during the year, and I don't see how that happends unless he's hurt.
If we get a shot at them in the playoffs I see D. Hall catching the last pass of his career. |

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
Favre is definitely better than Rosenfels/Jackson, at his age does he really need offseason camps? He knows the offense, I'm sure he's kept in shape, toss him out there.
Guess we'll see for sure, the Vikes are starting him this week. |

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
A few thoughts
- This is not a media driven story, it's a Favre driven story. - It's a big story that needs to be covered. We're not talking about Quincy Carter making a comeback. It's Brett Favre - That said, where's the outcry (from both media and fans) about how Vikings management/coaching staff has handled this? Fans here were lambasting the Redskins front office for making an offer this spring for an in-his-prime, proven QB. The Vikings traded a 4th rounder for a solid, but not spectacular QB; had their veterans call Favre asking him to come back, and ultimately signed (to a big contract) a proven but way past his prime Favre. Yet all the criticism seems to be on Favre. - Someone mentioned Favre just wants to play for a winner. Maybe, but when I think winning organizations Vikings doesn't roll off the tongue. - I thought Favre would actually skip all of preseason, but I think he'll do ok for the Vikings. He won't take them much further than they've gone in recent years in my opinion

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
IMHO this move makes the Vikes an instant contender for the whole enchilada. Don't tell me about Favre and the Jets. Different system than he ran for umpteen years and he didn't have the best RB in the game w/ a very solid backup, a top tier defense and some solid coaching in place. Favre walks in like he's been a Viking for over a decade and turns them into the NFC favorite to make the SB.

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
Ochocinco's response to all this was pretty funny. Saying his new TD celebration was to retire and then come back "After every TD I'm calling it quits"

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
ESPN did a thing today and literally read off all the starting QB's in the NFL. And honestly, I must admit, I would take Favre over about 50%.
Although, this yearly ritual makes me..............ill

He was ticked off they handed the keys to Aaron Rodgers and then didn't give them back to him by default. |

Brett had the orginal set of keys, Rodgers had the spare set. |

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
Listening to his presser now. I think he's being disingenuous when saying this isn't about revenge. Bull puckey!

re: Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings
He was 21-6 before he hurt his arm last year. If he's healthy, the Vikes are an instant contender. He'll have a better running game than he ever had and as good a defense. The Packers game will be must see tv.

He was 12-20 before his 13-3 season in GB don't forget. PS- if you're injured and you're a detriment to the team, you sit!!!! Do what's best for the team. The fact that he lost 4 of 5 to end his season last year speaks just as loudly as the 21-6 before that.
