Yep, I have no problems with that decision on so many levels.

i'll wait for the season to start before i believe this.

Well then, I guess he finally decided to get off the pot. -
I know we're talking about the little boy who cried wolf here, but I think it's more likely that he's for real this time. Combine his age, the beating he took in that last game, and reports that his ankle hasn't responded after surgery, and it all adds up (to me anyway). Having said that, who knows. This could all be Favre just needing to be noticed and talked about...again. Only time will tell.

ESPN has started their 24 hour coverage so beware -
Maybe ESPN will have a 1 hr special:

unreal......
Speaking to the press Tuesday afternoon, coach Brad Childress insisted that he was not told Brett Favre is retiring.
Childress has spoken to Favre within the last 24 hours, and he still considers the situation "fluid." Vikings players also told beat writers Tuesday that nothing has changed regarding Favre's status with the team. As is always the case, the Vikings are not pressing Favre for a decision. We still believe he'll be under center against the Saints in Week 1 -
When Minny starts shopping for a QB...then we will know
-

Anyone think Tyler Thigpen to the Viikings for a 3rd rounder might be an ESPN ticker sometime in the near future? :tongue2:
I just got my tickets to the viks/phins game. Im heading out to minny to watch the game with my in laws. Now that miami might beat the spti out of the vikings...i will finally have family braggin rights!padre31 and adamprez2003 like this. -
Go away.
-
any chance we could get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for pennington from them. they are going to be one desperate team looking for a qb and penny is just the type that could get them to the promised land
-

-
Yeah, if we could deal either Penny or Thiggy (preferably Penny IMHO) for a 3rd or a 4th, I say do it and don't look back. There'll probably be an acorn to pluck off the wire as the last of the cuts are made. And, that's assuming White doesn't impress enough to be considered a #3 QB. Colt Brennen is on the street. Just sayin'.
-
No way I trade Penny, I think Henne will be a very good QB, but he needs somebody like Penny to help.

He's signing with Miami Heat. You heard it hear first.

The whore-fest that is Brett Favre is revolting at this stage....like play or dont...Mariucci was on saying he needs a week to see if his ankle feels better, like what!??!?!?! You dont know by now...?? I hope he does play for 16, more ammo for Brady to hold up the Pats baby!!!
Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports the Vikings have offered Brett Favre a raise that would increase his 2010 base salary from $13 million to $16 million.
Incentives could reportedly push the salary even higher. Zulgad has been on top of the Favre story from the get-go, and went on NFL Network Tuesday to strongly caution that Favre's mind isn't necessarily made up. It's unclear if money is one of the main sticking points in Favre's decision, but there have been plenty of rumors it is. Favre played last season for $12 million.

Another Brett Favre drama show... ugh, I'm getting sick of it... I hope he is literally " FOR REAL " this time on retiring...
-
I guess I'm the only one that hopes he does this for five more years? It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot so to speak. Teams can cut players at anytime and there are so many players unsure of their future. I like that fact that Favre as flipped the script. He gets to cut the Vikings if he wants and can do it whenever he feels like.

I would trade him for the right price without question... after week two of course. -
Our QB's NEED Penny:wink2: -
UPDATE on the Favre issue:
According to ESPN, Favre will be coming back to play for the Vikings if his heel/ankle heals up & his back in good health...steveincolorado, CrunchTime, unluckyluciano and 1 other person like this. -

The Favre soap opera has become a yearly event and the ratings keep it going.I think the season will be renewed for at least one more year.
If Pat White would show some promise which he hasnt so far ,then we could look for a trade for one of our QBs.
As it stands it looks like White is the odd man out and we need 3 QBs for the season. -
Pennington is a luxury, not a need. You're confusing the two.Stitches likes this. -
I'll take a dozen LeBron press conferences over Farve drama any day.

Dan Marino has always given Don Strock props for his success:wink2:
Without Don Stock, would Dan Marino been as good??
