why wont you [Favre story] die!

8/17/2009 10:31:07 PM

haha, this is ridiculous. Every other week since last year he's been in the news.

Per WCCO-TV (Minneapolis), Farve is expected to sign with Vikings today..

8/18/2009 11:17:27 AM

ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that rumors are running rampant that Brett Favre could join the Vikings as soon as today. Several sources are claiming that Vikings' owner Zygi Wilf has sent his plane to Mississippi to pick up Favre and that he and his wife are on their way to Minnesota to sign a one-year contract worth $12 million.

It looks like there is something major brewing in Minnesota. We will continue to follow the story closely, and we will update the situation as soon as we hear anything.

$12 million? What a waste of money. Rosenfels/Jackson aren't good but neither is Favre anymore.

8/18/2009 11:29:22 AM

This is fucking BS!!! If I was Sage or T.J., I would be so pissed the F off!!

If you were Sage or T.J., you should feel lucky to have a job in the League

Eagles and Vikings, now the most played teams in Madden

8/18/2009 11:46:13 AM

it will make them pretty darn good of a team, especially having Sage as a decent backup.

they can no longer try and stack 7 against AP and not have to worry about it zipping over their head. Throw in Percy Harvin and its an interesting offense.

8/18/2009 11:50:47 AM

nvm

NFL Network ticker is all Favre, all the time right now: "Live Favre Coverage Beginning at 12:50PM ET on NFL Network"

Not a press conference, not a first snap at camp, just a bunch of guys talking on and on about 30 seconds worth of knowledge.

"According to multiple media reports, Brett Favre will sign with the Minnesota Vikings today pending he passes a physical. ESPN's Chris Mortensen says Favre will sign a two-year contract, reportedly between $10 to $12 million. Vikings coach Brad Childress confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday morning that Favre was traveling from Mississippi to meet with the team. Asked by the AP if the plan was to sign Favre on Tuesday, Childress replied: "In a perfect world." WCCO-TV in Minneapolis broke the news of the veteran quarterback signing early Tuesday morning. WISN-TV reported a plane with a Minnesota Vikings logo on the tail left Mississippi and was headed toward Minneapolis. The Hattiesburg Laurel Regional Airport's administrative office told WISN-TV that Brett and Deanna Favre were aboard the plane. "He doesn't like training camp," 12 News Sports Director Dan Needles said. Yesterday, FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer reported it was his belief that Favre would play for the Vikings in 2009. Favre announced on July 28 that he would stay retired. He told ESPN's Ed Werder: "It was the hardest decision I've ever made. I didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable." "

Can we get Favre to do the whole Iverson "practice?" bit?

8/18/2009 12:36:01 PM

A 2-year deal?

8/18/2009 12:42:07 PM

More news on the Brett Favre saga, as the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that Favre is expected to practice with the team on Tuesday and he is also expected to start the team's next preseason game Friday against Kansas City.

Favre is somewhat familiar with the offense the Vikings run, so it isn't completely outrageous that he could start on Friday. The team was scheduled to practice at 1:30 pm today, but that time may be pushed back to allow Favre to participate. Expect plenty more Favre news over the next few hours.

___________


Updating a previous report, Bus Cook, the agent of Brett Favre, confirmed to USA Today that Favre will be signing with the Vikings. "It's a done deal," Cook said. "He thinks he still has something left in the tank and I think it will work well."


Well that's pretty definitive. Favre is on his way to Minneapolis, and it looks like he could get the deal finalized as soon as this evening. The two sides reportedly negotiated deep into Monday night, and it looks like the deal is worth somewhere between $10-$12 million for one season. Favre should be considered as a QB 2 in most leagues, but he could provide some solid production with weapons like Percy Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, and, of course, Adrian Peterson.

Really could have ended the article after that first sentence.

He's supposed to start Friday against the Chiefs

lol

8/18/2009 1:42:06 PM

I am waiting for the announcement of Madden coming out of retirement to cover Farve's games

8/18/2009 1:56:49 PM

way to steal greg paulus' thunder

^ lol

8/18/2009 1:59:27 PM

wow, what an attention whore. If I was a Vikings player I'd be pissed.. He conveniently missed training camp and plays by his own fucking rules. Mike Vick was getting too much sportscenter attention, Favre couldn't have that.


Prepare for the crying spectacle when he retires again before coming back, never gets old.

8/18/2009 2:12:42 PM

he thinks he's bigger than the NFL

he's not

wonder what he's got up his sleeve this time?

just for closure:

The Minnesota Vikings' official website is confirming that the team has signed Brett Favre. Terms of the deal were not disclosed at the announcement, but it is believed to be either a one- or two-year deal worth between $10 and $12 million per year.

Well this is rumor and speculation no longer. Favre is officially a Viking, and reports are that he is already at practice with the team. He needs all the snaps he can get, because he is expected to be the team's starter Friday night against Kansas City.

8/18/2009 2:56:42 PM

somewhere, chris berman is in ecstasy.

8/18/2009 3:47:50 PM

john David Booty got moved from #4 to #9 instantly...tahts funny to me


and I really think this will be his last stand...he just wants to win a superbowl but mainly...a game against the Packers.

Not really

8/18/2009 5:48:29 PM

woooohooooo i cant wait.


rock bottom moment nov. 1st. the packers are just lucky as hell they got a decent QB or this would be REAL drama. you cant build a franchise with a 40 year old man. no wonder the vikings suck year in and year out.

8/18/2009 6:26:15 PM

aha..i like Nick Barnett's look he gave to the camera when he said he wanted to get a hit on Favre

8/18/2009 9:21:01 PM

I think it's good for the game....at least he isn't some street POS trying to tell everybody he has reformed from his bad ways like that POS Vick.....All Favre wants to do is play some ball...but I do hope the packers beat him 100 - 0 :-)

8/18/2009 9:34:47 PM

favre has truly debacled this thread

8/18/2009 11:11:29 PM

OMG A FOOTBALL PLAYER IS PLAYING FOR ANOTHER TEAM, IN THIS AND AGE, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

Get over it, people, it's just a damn game.

8/19/2009 8:08:12 AM

as a vikings fan that used to hate favre since he torched us, then started to admire the guy for being a great all around face for the NFL, i'm stoked to have him in Purple and Yellow!
