Farve talks to Vikings about Return to League

[FedEx227]

No, not yet. 25 INTs later with the Viks, we'll see.

 

[Spidey]

Ive pretty much anticipated this since his release. Pretty numb to it and this point and quite frankly I just don't care. I don't think the Vikings with or without Favre are a lock to win the division. Both Chicago and Green Bay are just as capable.

It pains me to see him doing this but I'm over it at this point. Aaron Rodgers is our future and I am 100% alright with that. I like our team. I am Packers fan, not a Favre fan. Favre can do what he wants.

 

[FedEx227]

There wasn't even a press conference this year to announce his retirement, I think a statement was released by the team. Not excusing the drama of prior years but let's keep the record straight on what has happened recently.

Oh no doubt. More of my resentment comes from the 1st and 2nd retirements which were both teary eyed affairs living a team and a player in complete limbo until HE decided it was time.

This last one was more or less just annoying and the Jets couldn't wait to sever ties with him, albiet not in a huge press conference or anything. That just shows the magnitute of how sick everyone else is of the whole thing. The Jets pretty much just said "See ya!"

Are there still delusional Packers fans that are crying over what has happened to Favre and want him back? (I remember that stuff pretty heavily at the beginning of last year) Or has the general consesus finally realized that AR is a pretty solid player.

There are still some that will never let it go but the number has grown significantly smaller after Rodgers performance last year. If Favre comes in for the Vikes and tears it up the numbers will go right back up though.

As i said last season, there are Packers fans and there are Favre fans. Two very separate groups. Me, I'm a Packers fan. I still cheered for Favre as a Jet but there is no way in hell I'll cheer for him as a Viking. I'll wish the same fate upon him next season I wish upon all Vikings.

The way I look at it is hopefully this means more INTs for our secondary. BIG year for Woodson, calling it now.

 

[Spidey]

The biggest gripe I have with this is I am a Packers fan in Minneapolis and the retard Vikings fans will be UNBEARABLE.

 

[FedEx227]

I'm just going off the experience of the Packers fans I knew. Half were of the "I just want the Packers to do well" and the other half were crying, moaning and bitching about the loss of Favre.

 

[MrBill]

Good for him. Who is there to compete with? Rosenfels and Jackson? Why is Favre a bad option. Vikes should just hope early season 2008 Favre shows up and not late season Favre.

If Favre is going to play, then he needs to get his ass in the gym and be at all OTA's and mini-camps and get his practice reps in...NOT tossing the ball around to a bunch of high school kids for ESPN. That partially torn bicep crap will not cut it, he will have to show up in Minnesota and be committed 110%. If he does that and the bicep muscle is healed, there is no reason to think that he couldn't be the best QB on that roster...of course that is not saying much. I think that drama is why we watch Favre, he could stink the joint up or he could win the Superbowl...you just don't know.

 

[Diivox]

second lowest passing yards since 1993, an interception for every touchdown, and second highest interception total since 99... Favre simply wasnt very good last year, and he entered the offseason with a shoulder that probably required surgery (which, as I understand it, hasnt happened). If he wants to play for the vikings, i'm cool with that. statistically speaking, Aaron Rodgers was a way better quarterback, hell, by yards/game, even Sage Rosenfels was a better quarterback.

Doesnt diminish the ring we got in 96 with him, doesnt ruin those particular memories, and doesnt make me appreciate it any less. Pretty much destroys his opportunity to make any money in wisconsin when he finally is done though.

 

[zack54attack]

Vikings fans will shit bricks if this happens. Theres nothing worse than a excited Viking fan cause they never STFU.

O well. Bears get to play him 2x. Thats 2 more times we can punish him : )

 

[dope]

Let the man play. Vikings fans are pumped right now.

i don't speak for every viking fan but honestly i'm not PUMPED for it. however thats not to say i wouldn't be happy if he joined the team. i just think he's still at 40 better than what we have now. and if nothing else it would be funny to see my most hated player of all time suit up for my team and beat my most hated team of all team. one of those "who ever thought this would be happening" moments

I say let the man play. The Vikings have 10 games indoors this season. Give him that fast track and those skill players and the man can still put up big numbers. The only real bad weather game he will likely have to deal with is @ Chicago in late December.

which honestly couldn't be a better one more try season schedule for the old man. the only other game outdoors that has a chance at being cold is GB on Nov 1st.

 

[MrBill]

I'm a Packers fan in Mississippi who wears a Rodgers jersey every now and then to my classes at Favre's old university.

Tend to get a lot of shit for that. He's friends with a lot of people in the community, so pretty much nobody is a Packers fan anymore, except for me and my parents' neighbor who is actually from Green Bay originally.

You actually walk around Hattiesburg in a Rodgers jersey? Too funny, just check your six often...lol

Good to see another USM person around! Might be only 2 of us on the board.

 

[Point Blank]

Jesus fucking Christ, I wish this man would give up seriously.

 

[Tailback U]

Favre will be better on the Vikings than on the Jets because he really won't have to do much. The Vikings will run the ball 30 times a game and have Favre throw 15-20 passes and manage the game. Keep him on a leash and he'll play well, like he did in his final season on the Packers.

In other news, John Madden has scheduled a press conference to announce his return as well!!

Of course, realizing if he were completely paralyzed that he would have no feeling in his extremities. unless of course he were only paralyzed from the waist down which would leave his arms free to throat punch the wolves until they left him alone and he were able to crawl out of the woods and resume his NFL career.

LOL

ok fine. he breaks his back so he can't move.....but he still has feeling in all his extremities. for the wolves (who are now also rabid and starved)

:ghost:

 

[Argath]

ESPN just ran a story saying Favre told the Vikings he will stay retired. All that publicity for nothing

 

[MRN]

I hope the old pig fucker does come back, so Chicago can put him in a fucking wheelchair.

 

[1ke]

Hopefully this shit is over now!
