Is Favre done?
Do you think the reports are true?  Is Favre retiring for real?

Re: Is Favre done?
well childress says he hasnt heard anything and he talked to him last night i guess. i guess the problem is that there is fluid collecting in the ankle and its slowing the healing process ontop of healing at the age of 40. i for one wont beleive it until i hear it come from his mouth. he still has 3 weeks of rehabbing left, because they werent expecting him until just about the second preseason game. if he does retire i do beleive that jackson is going to be able to handle it, for one he was progressing big time before favre got here and a year behind favre can only make jackson better and learn how to take control of the huddle

Re: Is Favre done?
Im with you, I wont believe it until I heard it from Favre himself.  It doesnt sound too promising, but it is what it is.  I think we will still do OK with T-Jac, he isnt too bad, he just needs some more snaps under his belt, he did well last year, but we were up by 20+ points when he came in so its different being down by 7 in the 4th Qtr.  Anyways, I have a feeling he wont be back, but I hope he does -- if he is healthy!
Ill still be cheering for the Purple and Gold!  GO VIKES!

From what I've heard, the teacher of his daughter up here at college, is good friends with my old man, she says he is playing. Just skipping the spring training again.

Re: Is Favre done?
Guys.... whats with the "gotta hear it from his mouth" deal.... :scratch:?  remember the last five or so years? :doah: Remember the press conference he held, and then told all that gathered before him: "I dont know what all you guys are here for...." :scratch: :rotflmao: I wont believe anything he says at a press conference until half way through the season.... hell, make that playoff time, by saying he's retiring (for the umpteenth time) it leaves things open for a "come-back" anytime he so chooses..... :bonk:  Ziggy's Vikequeens will be fine either way.... it just wont be as "fun" without blubberin Brett at the helm.

Re: Is Favre done?
I love the vikings but i can not believe you guys sayin t jack is not that bad? He is terrible. With him running this team and adrian coughing up the football I think I will have alot of free sundays on my hands this fall. (probably not really I will watch and cry like always) But how frustrating almost every piece is in place to be a good team We may not need Favre but Jackson is not going to get it done.

Re: Is Favre done?
I think Bretts ankle hurts to about 18 -20 mill.  Some other NFl player signed a 16 mill deal recently.   I think that is what Brett was to make this year if he did play.   Brett will be there for opening day. :happy1: :happy1: :happy1:  By the way- Tj is an ok back up QB.  He is not it.  I like the Vikes plan about letting him think he is.   He  isn't to the point where he can run over traffic cops yet.  Who knows, maybe he will get to that point but he is not there yet.  ;D ;D

Re: Is Favre done?
I hope not. If he is, I am sure it is for good reason. He will play if he thinks he can be a contributing factor. All in all - I will always be a Favre fan.

Vikes are offering Favre more money $16 million guarenteed and $4 million in bonuses.  $20 million for this year.

Re: Is Favre done?
I hope he comes back aswell. Always been a Favre fan and always will be (doesn't mean I'm a Packer fan though!! :rotflmao:) Anyway, I don't think T-Jack is ready and have a hard time believing he ever will . I just don't think he has it to be the number one guy  :sorry:. The Vikes NEED to find a replacement for Favre regardless of what happens. You need a first rate QB to lead any team........two second rate QB's in the corral don't cut it. Just my opinion though. ;D

Re: Is Favre done?
he will be back and i dont think it has anything to do with money. the guy from the star tribuine started this fire so its really his fault, brett had nothing to do with it. The star tribuine guy heard a rumor from someone else that heard a rumor and wrote about it. :banghead: :banghead:

Re: Is Favre done?
I heard that a teamate(s) may have set up Shianacoe (sp?) with the ole text bomb.... that'd be really funny if that is true..... especially if Brett did it...... ;D  If this is not the case, Brett played games like this with the Packers for a couple of years.... the press just grabs any info they can get their hands on.... its "their job".  All I know is the media everywhere is running this as "breaking news" and there isnt any news for them to give! :banghead: :scratch:  Gotta be something going on in the world that warrants this hubub we give it, kinda makes me embarrased to still be talking about it really.... ten bucks says tonight sportscenter will be launching an investigation as to who "leaked" the "breaking news" and will call on the CIA/FBI to get to the bottom of this. ;)  Mtcommer, youve got it exactly right, the sports media has been reduced to just that... TMZ/National Enquirer like story lines instead of sports writing/reporting. :doah:  Im officialy banning myself from all forms of sports media now until further notice! :surrender: ;)

Re: Is Favre done?
He was to make $13 mil this year and it's bumped to $20, nice play on his part. I think he will be back and I hope to heck he is. Was at training camp on Saturday and watched T-Junk. Dude was over throwing a guy 20 yards away that was standing still in the same spot for 10 minutes. It was insane!!

Re: Is Favre done?
im sure your over doing it. favre also said he isnt playing for the money he will play if he is healthy enough. he wants to play for his general love of the game, you dont see that to often in the NFL anymore, everybody is about there next big pay day. if he was in it for the money he would of taken the 25 million from greenbay to stay retired.

Re: Is Favre done?
I agree with you on the money thing. But yea, T-Junk lofted it over a dude standing still. On a route pass he hit the ankles. No defense was on the field. To me, an NFL QB be hits in the chest every time in that situation. At least Sage & Webb did.

Re: Is Favre done?
I think after blubbering Brett, we have a pile of what would be 3rd string QB's on most other teams.  Brett did get more money to play this year, weather that was his intent or not with the texting shinanigans, we will probably never know.  We do need him behind the center the whole year though if we dont want to rely soley on our defense.... with him the Vikes have a chance, without him we're just an also-ran at best.
