What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

This guy is a joke. Two weeks ago he was staying retired. I remember even posting in another Favre thread a couple of weeks ago when he said he was staying retired, yeah he's staying retired for this week. I should have taken the under!

He is a joke with has back and forth about retirement. But the bottom line is, he is a Viking and he will make a difference! You can't argue with his talent. Yes, he is older...but he still has it.

What a snore, I'm retiring, now I'm not, now I am, no I'm not. Now I am.

Well, let's give it another go. He's the Michael Jordan of football. Just pick something and stick to it already.

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

When you are as great as Brett Favre is, and have accomplished what he has in his sport.......he's earned the right to do that, like it or not.

If he hadn't, he wouldn't be landing a job on a team, would he?

Like you alluded, it's a whole different game when you actually are a star. For years, Favre has been in the limelight; he's been the center of attention. It's so hard to get away from that, and Favre has had a difficult time putting football behind him. As fans, we value loyalty to one team, but many players feel differently. It's kind of like the singer who has multiple "farewell" tours.

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

I don't necessarily think you can predict Farve's season with the Vikings based on his previous season with the Jets. No offense to the Jets fans but the Vikings are a much better team. The Vikings biggest flaw was the lack of a good quarterback.

Keep in mind the Vikings have the best RB tandem in the NFL and a pretty good o-line. (Too early to comment on the WR's.) The defense is highly rated too.

The cards are stacked in Farve's favor. If he can't make it here then he is truly washed up.

I'm sure Madonna would be very proud of her association with that bit of Italian.

I thought "pre-Madonna" was, like.......Stevie Nicks, of Fleetwood Mac?

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

Vikings are definitely lucky to get him. I'm dissapointed however, with the way that Favre will be remembered. People will always remember him for this stupid game that he played, retired, playing, retired, maybe I'll come back, ok I'll come back now that camp is over. It's rediculous, how can you change your mind that many times. Ok, I get if you retire and then come back, that's reasonable. But this is over the top. Hopefully he plays until he's actually ready to be done, and is sure he's finished. That said, he is a great player, just should have been a little more sure when he makes important decisions.

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

Great move for the Vikes.....if they did it 10 years ago. When's the last time he won a big game? Whens the last time he threw less than 3 ints in a big game? Minn just set their franchise back a few years.

kellsox,

You may be surprised. Brett Favre knows the Vikings offensive system. He will fit right in without missing a beat. If they can protect him, that's another plus. AND, if he's healthy, which he wasn't the last 5-6 games of last season, who knows?

Everyone has been under the misconception that Brett ONLY wanted to play for the Vikings because he wanted to stick him to it. Not true. An added bonus for him on the side, maybe......but he is familiar with their system, so there was no "re-learning a new offense".

Well see how it plays out. Brett Farve, with his talent and experience, is still one of the top 5 QB's in the game, so he definately gives the Vikes a chance to win it all NOW.

Re: What retirement? Favre coming back with Vikings

I'm not changing any predictions.

That pre-madonna can do what ever he likes and it won't make a bit of difference in the outcome.

Maybe he can use some of the 10-12 million he's getting and pick up some good health insurance, and a couple of receivers.

He did squat with the Jets, and will do even worse in Minnesota.

.....and so are the days of our lives.
