Report: Favre to sign with Vikes today. 12 million incentive deal...

Cris Carter is now on cue with his talking points...finally. "The main thing we need to remember is that Zygi Wilf is trying to bring a championship to the fans of Minnesota."

Antonio Freeman:
(heard on ABC Radio News - paraphrasing)

"...It's hard to walk away. Brett's a guy who carries a lot of leverage and he's using every bit of it."

(not exact, but damn close to what he said)

I know. The anticipation of how much better this banter is going to get makes me just giddy...

Keep your little chicken dick in your pants, it will happen naturally.

And, trying to put butts in the seats to keep the team there.

Exactly 1 Super Bowl win in entire 18-year career. Big fat hairy deal.

Bart Starr won the first 2 Super Bowls, plus prior to the first Super Bowl he won 5 NFL championships!!

Roethlisberger has already won 2 SB's. Brady, Elway, Montana, Aikman, Plunkett, Montana, Bradshaw, Staubach, Griese -- all won 2 or more SB's.

Brad Johnson, Dilfer, Rypien, Hostetler -- won the same number of SB's as Brent Faver. Whoop-de-freakin'-doo.

.....and Marino never won any.

It's ON now. Favre is just another enemy QB and he's gonna see pressure from all over the place Mon Oct 5th. Let the Viking implosion begin!

I'm thinking they'll bring Bigby and/or Smith on the blitz on many occasions against the Vikes

Brent always did a good job reading the obvious blitz, so Dom and Co. need to disguise alot of their calls. Of course, this is all conjecture as he hasn't taken a hit for real yet.

First (and maybe only) chance to weight in on this.

May have been said already but bears repeating...

If he was at all serious about 2008 announcement, early 2009 announcement, and announcement 3 weeks ago then the simple fact is he is record slut.

He is not coming back to win a SB he wants the consecutive game record and that is it. Hell onces he gets it he might sit down with a hangnail infection.

He is a punk, no more, no less, just your run of the mill punk.

True, but he has not had any actual game action since last season, and won't be able to get too much live practice to risk him getting hurt.

I just don't see how he's going to be any good for the Vikes...he put everything he had into 2007 and still choked it away.

It was then that I knew he was done. When you let Eli Manning come into your yard at 20 below zero and he shows you up in the game to get you to the SB, you're done. He was timid in the cold windy Bears game that year, and he was timid in the NFC Championship game. This, plus his retirement is the reason I think TT and co moved on with Rodgers. And they totally made the right call. CKA is basically now throwing the hail mary pass, putting all his chips in, hoping for the 1 in a million shot. He's going to get burned. Thank god we have a GM with a brain.

Does this jeopardize his once certain jersey retirement?
I wonder how many years, if any, to heal this wound...
I'd guess in the year 2015...What do you think?

The NFC North will lead the league in interceptions.

2008 Favre with Jets: 9-7 record, 81.0 rating, 22 TD, 22 INT
2008 Vikings quarterbacks: 10-6 record, 81.5 rating, 22 TD, 17 INT

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?

The question I have is will TOG drive CKA to the airport or will he let him sink like Manjeenyous?

Favre now saying that his rotator tear "hasn't gotten any worse in the last 3 weeks, but it could flair up again if they want me to throw 50-60 balls a day." Sounds like he's building in an excuse already and wants to take it easy. No need to sweat in practice. Putz.

I love the whole "working with his old offensive coordinator" angle. Correct me if I'm wrong but I recall him thinking Bevell was a moron while he was the OC in GB.

I generally like to read his stuff more often than Glazer. He's like Arrigo with panache.

Well, I am one of Joe's hero's!

You must be listing to around the horn on espn? He wasn't an OC here,he was the QB coach for Favre for a few years under Sherman,and that's it. All those idiots on around the horn are freaking clueless morons.

That segment that they had was filled with lies and not even close to facts they were ranting about. I could do nothing but laugh at them all.

Signing Favre makes sense for the Vikings.
Apparently they do not believe in any of the QB they now have.
To get a good QB they either have to trade for one. (Does anyone have an extra good experienced QB that is willing to trade?)
Or they have to wait till next year and draft a QB. Then spend 1-3 years developing that player.
They also put butts in sets at home and away.
When the Favre thing fails: they can clean house getting rid of an over the hill QB, a bad head coach, and ineffective GM.

I can't recall all that many games in the past when Brent would have faced a 3-4 defense. I guess this is somewhat obvious since nobody in the Central runs it and most of the teams that do are in the AFC.

Still, it seems like the Packers may have an easier time than most teams coming up with some wrinkles that he hasn't seen often.

If I recall Tom Rossley was the OC. He had the audacity to show Brent video of his interceptions in an attempt to try and get Brent to play within the system and cut down boneheaded plays.

And those 2 Viking QB's were TJack and...Gus Frerotte.

I thought Deanna looked much better last year.

When they don't say anything about wanting more money, it's about wanting more money.

Just like Holmgren.

This ruins my whole day and maybe more.

Can we delete the TOG gremlins from the selection list?

A couple more lines for comparison purposes:

2008 Rodgers with Packers: 6-10 record, 93.8 rating, 28 TD, 13 INT, 4038 YDS
2008 Pennington with Dolpins: 11-5 record, 97.4 rating, 19 TD, 7 INT, 3653 YDS

Brent had more INTs than Rodgers & Pennington--COMBINED.

no kfan. it was my bad on the OC part, I forgot we had the immortal Tom Rossley as the OC back then.

No need to apologize, on around the horn, woody stated "He is being reunited with his old OC from Green Bay" they were basically all slurping on him. Not when single fact was used.

When the Vikes start tanking, we'll see what the lockerroom turns into. LMFAO!

This is going to be a treat when the pussy Favre can't even live in a dorm nor go to camp. POSTOG.
