I am surprised. Favre "unretiring" was becoming an annual event. I prefer the "Favre retiring" season. It's not so hot then, so I can keep my windows open!

 

[iceturkee]

unless, he changes his mind again....and i would never rule it out.....this is a good thing. he only wanted to sign with the vikings to exact revenge against green bay. and that ain't cool.

 

[Rey]

i'm glad to hear it but wont believe it until the 1st game of the regular season kicks off and he's not playing.

 

[Mr Tony]

Give it a few days and then see

otherwise I guess Michael Vick can sign here

star tribune article

Brett Favre won't be joining the Vikings.

Vikings coach Brad Childress told the Star Tribune late this afternoon that the quarterback informed the team he has decided to remain retired. Childress cited the daily grind both mentally and physically as part of the reason why Favre remained retired.

"I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division," Childress said. "He knows our system inside out ... This doesn't change anything about how I feel about our football team."

Favre's decision comes one day before players begin reporting to training in Mankato. Favre had told the team he would have a decision by Thursday, when players must officially report to camp. The Vikings begin practicing on Friday.

Favre's decision means that Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels will compete for the starting job. That was the plan when the Vikings acquired Rosenfels from Houston last February for a fourth-round draft pick.

Childress: Favre is staying retired

Good. I wish he had stayed retired last year too.

Jackson and Rosenfels must feel wonderful knowing how many Vikings called Favre begging him to come to the team. Inspires confidence.

If you had the "privilege" of seeing Tavarius play you'll know why we wanted Farve....or Vick.....or someone else

Sandra

you're right but at the same time those two don't inspire any confidence either

Good riddance. Farve has been such a baby about all this. Go out with some dignity. No one likes watching washed up players try to show they've still got it.

Lions might win 5 games after all.

 

[Jimbo]

I wonder if he'll pop up looking to get back playing NEXT year with someone ...

 

[HD MM]

and the entire Lambeau Nation collectively breaths a DEEP sigh of relief!

 

[Mr Tony]

Lions might win 5 games after all.

Jimbo
The Lions got at least 1 win this year thanks to the Queens

 

[Mr Tony]

and the businesses in Mankato are all cursing Farve once again
(the crowds at training camp would have been HUGE....now they'll be normal size)

 

[HD MM]

Let me now officially say Cleveland will win on opening day.

I'm just glad we won't have the circus of media surrounding this opening day game. Now, our boys can just buckle down and get down to business.

Go Browns!!!
