Uh oh. Looks like Favre is close to going to the Vikes now. Shoulder x-ray sent to the Minnesota Viking offices for evaluation. If it checks out, he will come out of retirement. This according to Joe Schad on ESPN NEWS' Breaking news.

Part of the problem is sports outlets reporting stories from their "sources" that have very little truth behind them; just trying to get the story even if it can't be confirmed.

I hope he does too, so the Vikings can waste AD's entire career. Wait...

I don't wish injury on any player.

Except Brett Favre.

I hope Aaron Kampman blows out both of his ******* knees.

these packers fans that don't want favre on the vikings are hilarious...

LOL at the Vikings prez pining for Favre to the media. They better get him now or they've screwed their chemistry up big time. Housh really did a number on the Vikes.

I love how ESPN stalks Farve haha. They reported that he was throwing at a High School, who cares haha. Im so sick of ESPN making something out of nothing this is getting so annoying.

Thats how the media is though. They always make something out of nothing. They were all over the Sarf flu because they thought something would come to be of it. Just like they thought something would come to be out of Favre and the Vikings.

Isn't this what we said the last time he came back? I wouldn't put him playing for the Vikings past Favre for a full multitude of reasons.

I still think it is going to happen...I dont think favre will ever retire. Our grandchildren will be posting about Brett Favre the comeback part twenty three.

ESPN is reporting Favre will have surgery later this week on his arm.

Right. Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press is reporting it.

jkpigskin · 05-18-2009, 10:23 PM

well its been floating around on sportscenter that if favre's arm is fine after surgery, he will sign with the minnosota vikings. Seems like the book was not closed in this siuation

1. Favre needs to get the surgery, to get his shoulder healthy.

2. He needs to be in this for the full season, not just the two games against the Packers for revenge. Be fully committed to trying to win another championship.

He meets those two criteria, I don't see why he shouldn't play. His age is advanced relatively speaking, but Favre has obviously shown he's one of those rare freaks who can still compete at his age. And as long as you're not putting yourself at any further risk, why not play as long as you can. He'll never experience anything like football again for the rest of his life.

The one thing is that playing for the Vikings might hurt his Packers legacy, but I would think only for the short-term. In a few years' time, it will be smoothed over and the Packers faithful will flock to Canton when Favre is enshrined.

If Favre takes the Vikings to the Super Bowl the Pack will never forgive him. I've always thought they'd stay loyal but if ever there was a chance he could outright kill his legacy, this is it.

If he has success as a Minnesota Viking that won't kill his legacy. Would Packers' fans be upset? Of course but time heals all wounds and this would end up being a prime example.

i think ultimately time will heal for both sides, but I really lost respect for brett favre for his antics the past 2 offseasons. Brett is a person who should bleed yellow and green but he has shown that he is one of the biggest divas in the game of football.

One would have to do ALOT to destroy one's legacy, especially one as great as Favre's. Leading the vikes to a superbowl could be one of those things though....

vikes_28 · 05-20-2009, 02:48 PM

I don't want him to come to the Vikings :(

keylime_5 · 05-21-2009, 03:20 PM

please God, let ESPN talk about something other than Brett Favre. NFL Live these days is 30 minutes of "blah blah Brett Favre blah Favre, blah blah Michael Vick blah blah blah". Then they try the excuse that it's what we want to hear. Oh, the summer months. Favre can come back with his hurt old arm and have another crappy season.
