Great suggestion.... I was thinking maybe a TT jersey

What good is that Judas picture if you don't show down to the cankles?

How many games does Favre need to break the streak? Wanna bet after the record is his, he suddenly gets injured??

I imagine that Irv is rolling over in his grave right now.

Cris Carter is going off LMAO

TOG is a genius. He found a team stupid/desperate enough to pay him $12 million and not require him to exert a single ounce of energy in preparation for the season.

I began to lose faith in TOG after he literally threw away the Eagles game. I began to dislike him after what he put the Packers through last summer. Now I just can't stand the guy.

Watching TOG and Childress makes me appreciate Rodgers and MM all the more.

I still hope the fans turn their backs to him when he trots out on the field as a Viking. No booing .. no cheering .. just people turning their backs to him.

If you had told me 3 years ago I'd be agreeing with Crissy Carter when badmouthing Brett Favre, I'd have said that was impossible. My, how things have changed.

I was feeling bad the other day because my brother and I bought those "We'll always remember you Brent!" shirts. I thought, the guy is retired, I shouldn't wear this to the Titans game, it will make it seem like I can't let it go (I got it because the shirt is hilarious). But now I can't wait to wear it and I hope whatever station is covering the Titans game gets me on camera!

WHY?? Just think of all the FUN!

I hear yeah,LS.

If anyone gets a chance,please check out EPSN and Cris Carters comments. Hopefully we can get this on youtube or ESPN via the net. He just freaked out a couple times now. Calling Favre a liar and Minnesota coaches and front office liars and how wrong they are for what they did to Sage and Jackson.

If Irv was still here he'd be popping another cold one with Scott and company. More free stuff!

I hope it's snowing November 1st so everyone can throw snowballs at Favre. Not at any other Vikings, just Favre. It would be hilarious!

Would love to have tix to this game. WOuld sell the F out of them to the highest bidder and make a killing

Linebacker Nick Barnett........

What do you think of Favre going to your division rival?: "I don’t care what team he plays for. Jets, Raiders, Mississippi Mud Ducks, whoever it is I don’t care. Our focus is one game at a time. Our first regular season game is not against Minnesota, it’s against Chicago. We’ll worry about that when it comes. If he wants to play, let him play, do whatever he wants to do. It’s not my concern."
You will face him twice this year, so he's not joining just any team: "Lot of great quarterbacks in the league. Just because he played for this team – he’s a great guy, I looked up to him growing up and watching football. Any more than that, am I going to take it personally? No."
How much better does he make them: "I don’t know. Brett Favre on a team makes a team better. Not just talking about physical capabilities, but leadership, having that aura, it’s great. Are we concerned with him? Absolutely not, we’ll be concerned with him when we see them. We have a great team here, a great quarterback here, great defense here, good running backs. I don’t think we’re worried about anybody. The only people we have to worry about are the people in this locker room. ... I actually could give two (craps), two whatever about it. who cares? I heard Jordan is coming out of retirement too."

Yeah really, why does everyone assume Irv was a saint? He raised Brett to be the guy he is...he's as much to blame for this mess as anyone!

Jaws is saying the Vikings are now a complete football team.

The Jet has landed in Minnesota.

According to ESPN he will start against the Chiefs on Friday.

funny read, contains graphic language, however

Love it!

This pretty much sums up my feeling on Favre.

http://www.greenbaypressgazett...vre-with-the-Vikings

quote:

Favre's mother, Bonita, told the Sun Herald of Gulfport, Miss., that Favre will practice Wednesday and play briefly against Kansas City in Friday's preseason game in Minnesota.

"He is going," Bonita Favre said. "I have mixed emotions, but I have always loved to watch him play. This time, however, I thought he would stay retired and stay home. I guess he could not do it.

"He told me he would always wonder 'what if?' I told him I supported him."

Bonita Favre added: "They seem to have a good team in place and he liked that. I guess I need to get a Vikings jersey now."

Did they already tell Booty he has to give up the number?

Favre takign the call from Zygi

Do the Vikes still have the great John David Booty? I think he wore #4 maybe. If he's not gone yet, I assume he will be canned soon so the savior can have his jersey number.

Growing up in Eastern Iowa....I have a huge long seeded hatred of the BoBs. Vikings have always been my 2nd most hated team.....Guess who (after all these years) just bumped themselves up a notch.

F Ewe Brent

Live from Brent's jersey retirement ceremony in Lambeau Field............

so how long before Madden un-retires so he can continue his love fest.......

Wow. I sense some hostility in that post

...and there was never any tampering when Favre talked to Childress, right?

Brett has eanred the right to play for anyone he damn well pleases. He doesn't need to go through all the BS training camp. He will do as well as always come Sundays.

Cwood, Atari, Nick, Al and Tramon gotta be giddy like school girls over this news.

Can't wait for the first packer to get a good lick on him. Nothing dirty...just drill the ****.

So how many professional football players have earned the right to jerk around teams and fans that pay their salaries? He can play for any team he wants. But why does he have to be a first class nob about doing it??

If I wasn't looking forward to it this much, I would consider selling mine, along with my parking pass and probably make enough to pay off the whole season. I work with some saps that would probably pay it too...

Posted on the Vikings website:



Along with press release. here

quote:

"I am excited about the opportunity to join this football team," said Favre. "From ownership, to coaching to the players, it is evident that everyone in the Vikings organization is committed to bringing the fans of Minnesota a Championship. I am eager to join my new teammates and get to work towards that goal."

LOL

Does any one else find it odd that Chilly picked Favre up at the airport?

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but it just seems that just about any other team in the league would send some nobody to take care of it.

Doesn't CKA have anything better to do? Was the team practicing during this time period?

That the Vikings are really, really desperate to throw 12 million at a 40 year old QB coming off surgery and a not too intense off season of preparation. Seriously, who cares? If he is as bad as most of you on this board make him out to be, you should be HAPPY he signed because he weakened the QB situation for the Vikings.

Just a clue for you- you can be a TT hater and be sick of the Favre drama. It is not one or the other

Get your jersey yet or did you throw it away in a huff after he psuedo retired again?

Too funny.

The team began practice without Favre, who was likely taking a physical, but he emerged shortly before 1:30 p.m. and started taking snaps -- wearing No. 4.\ Backup quarterback John David Booty, who has worn No. 4, switched to No. 9.

Maybe Chilly was getting preparing for his new gig next year as chauffeur or limo driver.

Already on the field taking snaps.

Looks like Booty already changed his jersey number to #9.

Did anyone think that maybe the reason Brent didn't sign until today is because his private dressing room wasn't finished and properly decorated?

Let's use some objectivity here people!
