Dude, it's Queen Favre, with over a month to go until the season begins, wait until the season starts before sticking the fork into Her Highness.

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

Oh I agree, I think he is going to play...but if he doesnt.....Minny is in trouble...bigggggggg trouble, and with their expectations, I would expect Minny to do everything to get this guy playing this year...

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.

even with that though, Favre is as predictable as they come....and isnt good enough to do it at the highest of levels anymore....with favre yeah during the regular season, he spreads around the ball, has good games, but not 40+ throw attempt games, and doesnt make many mistakes, then the late regular season hits, and the playoffs comes as well.....and something goes off in that guys head that HE has to be the man to win it for them....thats when he starts makes mistakes, and plays himself out...he did it in GB at the end, with the Jets, and Minny samething....awful interceptions in cruical points in the game where you just scratch your head...

I think it's for real too. I don't think he has the nuts to screw the Vikings into the drama the way he did with Green Bay. He was at least established as a franchise player with the Packers before his will he/won't he.

ESPN has started their 24 hour coverage so beware

He pulled the same bullcrap last season.

Maybe ESPN will have a 1 hr special:

"Brett Favre:the Indecision"

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

IMO they'd still need to even if Favre was still there.

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!

Go away.

You have to figure that every season that passes the likelihood that he will really finally retire increases. And despite his history, I admit that this one rumor had a ring of truth to it for me for the same reasons you mentioned.

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

Depends on how comfortable the Phins are with Thigpen and White as the back-ups should Henne get injured. I don't think Minnesota would give up a 3rd round pick for CP, 4th maybe.

I do think that's a possibility. There's a history between Childress and Thigpen. I think it might be depend how high they are on White and/or how much the Vikings offer. If they offer a 3rd or better, I'd jump all over it.

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.

You two are aware that we play the Vikings this year right, you all remember how he got the first taste of sweet sweet revenge against the Jests right?

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