Favre Watch 2010: He Is in Minnesota

Now take a look at what happens when I am away from the computer for a day geeez. There were so many rumors flying earlier today about Favre and Vikings.


Today, I guess Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell, and Steve Hutchinson reportedly headed to Mississippi to talk with Brett Favre. The Vikes sent the trio to Favre's house to either bring him back or wish him well in retirement. After a LONG talk with Favre, the posse headed to the airport to finally come to Minnesota.

I do think that everyone knows that Favre is going to be back wearing his number 4 for the Vikes this season. Favre being Favre has to drag it out for another 24+ hours to keep people on edge. There is going to be an official announcement after the first practice tomorrow At about 11:40 am.


This is what I have been telling all Packer fans around here that he will be back at about Week 2 or 3 in the preseason. He has been doing this since...ahh let me see 1998(well it seems like it has been that long at least).


Now the big question is what is ESPN and the NFL network going to talk about with the yearly Favre retirement talks to be put to rest for another season. 


I am just hoping now that Favre can match the great season that he had last year.We will have a great sneak peak in Week 3(dress rehearsal) in the preseason on how everything is going for Favre.

Just Cannot Believe The Fave News

Growing up here in the Green Bay area, the news is just to hard to even believe it. This circus has been going on since 2006. I have been listening to the retirement talk for all to long. Favre got his name out there in the news again, Favre plans to retire, according to sources.


With it pertaining to Favre here is my motto: I will believe it when I see it.. With no offical announcement about his retirement. So just gets me wondering the whole sporting world has been through this before. So why, why to they continue to fall for Favre "indecision."

Is it just Favre's plan to get more money out of the deal. Again, there have been reports offered Favre so he would mane 16 mil a year and 4 mil in incentives. I just hope it would be worth it to be paying all this dough to a 41 year old QB.

I am still sticking to my guns and saying he will be back with the Viking in 2010. Come week one, I still think #4 will be under center instead of #7. All Favre wants is to talked about every waking moment that is all. So here we go with the daily reminders that some sports are over analyzed.

I hope everyone enjoys this. I am going to go and watch some baseball highlight:)

Favre Watch 2010: Favre A Holdout

I was reading PFT this morning, and saw the title,"Uneasiness in Vikings camp over Favre's future." I figured the the players that are now in training camp are getting miffed over the absence of Favre. The fact they have to be out there and sweating buckets at a time. 


This was not the case in this instance, it is the people in management that are getting anxious for when Favre will announce if he will be playing this season. So the Vikes will know that everything will be place.


I never thought of it this way either, Favre is technically holdout and is still under contract. The Star Tribune, Favre was placed on the reserve/did not report list. Then some lucky soul will be in camp under Favre parades in town.

Favre is under contract and should be in camp, but everyone on the world expects him not to attend anyway. So what is the big deal of it all. Favre is still playing at such a high caliber and if(pretty BIG if)he does not return. This move would alter the Vikings season dramatically.

So the ESPNs and NFL Newtorks will continue to report as they have since mid May about Favre Watch. Less than a month ladies and gentlemen and we will find out one way or another.

Favre Watch 2010: Update Peterson Plea

With training camp FAST approaching, Adrian Peterson said" he's willing to beg Favre to come back if that's what it takes." Peterson also expects for him and Favre to be on the same field again this coming season.

The fact that the Vikes were SO CLOSE to the Super Bowl last season they could taste it. This just gives the team so much more motivation this season and know what needs to done this season.

AD also said" reaching the Super Bowl would carry extra weight for him this season because the game is in Texas, where he was born and raised." This would be perfect for both parties, then Favre can go out like Elway a Champion. AD can win a championship like Bettis did close to home.

This is news Favre loves to hear. The way his teammates would love for him to join them on a Super bowl run. The way that Peterson talked about him just makes it seem more and more that there will be no word from Favre til Week 2 into preseason games.

The countdown is ON!!!!

Favre Watch 2010: Version 5.4

It looks like Favre supposedly told someone that he is 100% sure he is going to retire. I am with UK and think that the ESPN(the world leader in bogus sporting news) is getting bored in the football department. Just think if this took like 5-10 years ago, I can guarantee that this would not have happened with L-O-N-G drawn out post draft offseasons of what Favre is going to do. Why do I say this?

This is because ESPN is doing Favre a favor keeping him where he loves to be in the spotlight. He has been the spotlight player since 1st game as a Green Bay Packer. He is a great player and all, but he sure does love to be the center of attention.

Being behind enemy lines the  Packer fans just laugh about this offseason. The Packer fans and I both knew that this was going to happen once again this offseason. The Favre indecision to come back or not is always a good time when you have nothing else to do. As I said in an earlier post, I am certain that he will be back under center come September 9th.
