He did that a couple of weeks ago. Does he have to deny every rumor by every writer wannabe?

Glazer is hardly a writer wannabe. With a drama queen like favre when there's smoke, there is fire.

And, the story continues. Mark "ball washer" Rosen was just on the radio saying Favre is on his way to Minnesota and will arrive today. FWIW.

PFT already picked up on it.

I love the great amount of angst brought about by Jay Glazer thinking he thinks Favre will still be a Viking even though he has no evidence he's signing a contract or anything and with NOTHING coming from Favre. The thread title is hilarious.

It sells like Orange Fanta to Goalline.

Yeah well espn just broke out a story that he boarded a plane from MS to St.Paul,Mn @ 9:10 A.M. our time

If this turns out to be true, then it would only add to Glazer's history of being on the money throughout the 18-month-long Brent drama. He went to great pains to explain that his article was nothing more than an opinion/prediction, but he's not a guy who just makes things up and tosses chum into the water hoping something sticks.

FAVRE TV--ALL DRAMA, ALL THE TIME

ESPN just said a contract will be signed. What a joke.

Time to protect the border, boys!

I hope it's true .. I was really looking forward to seeing Favre and Rodgers do battle against one another.

I will be very surprised if Rodgers gets outplayed by Favre.

If he signs with the vikes, he’s dead to me. I have been incredibly forgiving during this whole ****ing mess, but that would be just too much for me (even if he starts saying that this does not have anything to do with revenge).

The only bright side is that I can’t see him playing that well, and in the end will only screw the Vikes.

Here we go. They're reporting he's on his way to the Twin Cities to sign a contract.

I gotta admit that I'm pleased. This is going to be very interesting to watch. It just further cements my allegiance to the Packers and my deep hatred of the Vikings.

let's go AARON!!

Ed, "incredibly forgiving" is an understatement.

Conflicting reports...some news stories say that Brent and Diana Faver boarded the plane. Others say it was Brent Faver by himself. Other stories say the Vikings logo was on the plane. One story said the plane was bound for Minneapolis, another one says it was headed for St. Paul.

Who the hell knows at this point?

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Faver may be heading to Vikings camp

Aug. 18, 2009 10:04 a.m.

Brent Faver boarded a plane today (Tuesday) at 9:10 a.m. at the Hattiesburg Laurel Regional Airport that is headed to St. Paul, Minn., according to a local television station in Hattiesburg, Miss.

So much for Chilly's comments that the team has moved on. Looks like Brent is in full control of that organization

As immature and impulsive as Brent is, I truly wouldn't be surprised if the sole motivating factor was Vick's return.

The latest report from Mort on ESPN radio is that he will land at noon, take a physical, and sign a 2 year contract.

This just sickens me. How could he slap the fans in the face like this? I'm all for giving the #4 jersey to the next punter.

I'll be monitoring the TT haters and their rationalizations.

I will go outside at around 1 pm EST and flip the bird in the direction of Minnesota. He is officially DEAD to me.

...and after the punter is released, have a retirement ceremony for the number--in the name of the punter. LOL

Well-played!!

2 year contract? So he'll be playing at least 2 more years? I guess bending over backwards and allowing Thy Lord the rights to do whatever the F he wants was a big time factor in his decision to come back.

I think this is going to be a riot ... Favre isn't going to lead the Vikings to anything. He's a choke when it matters, and he fits in perfect with an organization known for choking.

I think the division is going to be more fun than at any time I can ever remember. They've got douche's at QB in Minny and Chicago .. we've got an excellent young QB who I think is better than both of them. This is going to be fun. It just got a lot easier to hate the Vikings all that much more.

Report: Favre to get $12 million for one year

Posted by Mike Florio on August 18, 2009 11:24 AM ET

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Vikings will pay Brett Favre $12 million for one season of football with the team.

That matches the amount Favre earned in 2008 with the Jets, and it's only $1 million less than what Favre was due to make under the final year of his contract, which the Jets acquired last year via trade.

Cole's report contradicts past suggestions that Favre would receive an incentive-based contract that paid him based on his ability to play and/or his success.

Source: Favre Expected To Sign With Vikings Today


A high-level source with the Minnesota Vikings tells WCCO-TV's Mark Rosen that quarterback Brett Favre is expected to sign with the team Tuesday.

Favre is on currently on his way to Minneapolis and is expected to sign with the team this afternoon, the source said.

In other breaking news, the Vikings have announced they have traded their next three first round picks to the Patriots for Randy Moss, and have signed Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle to two-year contracts.

And replace CKA with Mariuci

LMAO! Obviously, the ball washing still isn't paying off.

At 40, missing all OTA's, 1/2 of training camp, not hiring a personal trainer, and "working out" by throwing to HS kids, he's going to enter his 19th season in the NFL.

The only people in more denial then TOG are Childress/Wilf. Nuts.

And can't wait to see how they possibly spin this yet again to T-Jax & Sage.

You have to wonder if they got a little more interested after seeing GB in action on Saturday. I would assume they thought they could coast through the NFC North until they saw that the Packer Defense had a clue already. This should be a fun season! I love Brett Favre, but I am done with him and hope he ends up losing his streak because of a Packer induced injury. That big head he has built recently should make for a nice target.

I don't normally wish injury on a player, but I hope to God Raji blows his f'n knee out. I can't stand this m'fering attention whore any more. This is all about revenge and not getting his way. I would retire Scott Hunter's number before his. F him...he's dead in my book.

From what Mort reported it is essentially a 1 year deal for $12mm

It will be a one year failed experiment that ends with everyone getting fired, and Favre back in retirement.

Especially after Sage looked better than average the other night.

This is what I love about the entire thing. Imagine how Sage/T-jack feel. They bust their asses off all offseason and Chilly talks about being confident in them. After all of this, it's quite clear those were just empty words. I just can't believe a team would take a 40 year old QB who hasn't put in any of the work this offseason outside of lobbing passes to high schoolers, coming off a surgery to his throwing arm, and just hand him the keys to the offense. Certainly not the move a "super bowl contending" team would make IMO

I really wonder what somebody like Bart Starr is thinking right now.

This is comedy gold. Coach Kick Ass just had his tidey whiteys pulled down in front of all Minnesota, and Lord Favre shoved his hand up CKA's arse like a puppeteer.

I think the Vikes are bending over forward for what Favre is doing to them!

It would be even sweeter if Penis and Fat WIlliams get the axe today.

Until he comes out of retirement...one week after Mike Holmgren comes out of retirement, and announces that he's contemplating playing for the Walrus again.

I wonder if he pulls this **** in bed with Deanna.

"Brett, are you in the mood???"

"No honey. I think I'm going to watch a movie. No, wait a minute, I think I'm going to give you some sweet lovin'. Get the French Tickler and the Astro Glide. On second thought, no, I think I'd rather watch a movie. Actually, come to think of it, I am kinda horny after being on that big ol' John Deer tractor...."
