Brett Favre may be coming back to the NFL

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I don't think he can hack a full season. Look at last season, he was hampered with injuries.

Favre is an all time great QB and a Hall of Famer for sure, but now he is just a mere shell of himself. Ever seen the movie "The Wrestler"? That is what he is turning into.



It's a shame, he needs to stay retired and quit making a mockery of himself.

Vikings, Superbowl, that there is pretty funny I don't care who you are.
Local newspaper reports that Farve is doing Sears commercials poking fun at himself and that he is still not sure if he wants to play.
Co-worker thinks he is waiting as long as he can so he misses out on training camp? That doesn't make any sense to me?
I think if he is truly undecided this late in the game you better just stay retired and let someone younger and a better feel for what they want to do play the game.

Personally I think it is all a conspiracy so he can get back into good graces with the Packers fan base. get those drooling Vikings fans all worked up, then at the last minute say he isn't going to play and make them mad. OK, where did I put my tin foil hat?

That would not surprise me. Not saying it is true, but fact is that his throwing arm is shot and his shoulder is hurt. He just had surgery on it as well. He no longer has the arm strength that he did when he was younger (not trying to take away from the man, but age gets us all). I don't think he has the arm strength to play a full season.

If that is the case, he is just trying to keep his strength longer through the season. Throw out the training camp and he can go a bit longer.

Another man who played the game too long and is paying for it.

Jim Otto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

20 years down the road this could be the type of story you could be reading about Favre.

Otto paid big price for football glory

I am not saying it will be that bad but the longer he plays the more likely a scenario like that is possible.

No Farve for Vikings fans. This just reported on the local news web-site

Childress: Favre is staying retired

Childress: Favre staying retired

Vikings beat reporter Judd Zulgad just received a phone call from Brad Childress who said he talked to Brett Favre and that he was informed that Favre is staying retired

Childress cited the daily grind both mentally and physically as part of the reason why Favre remained retired.

“I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division,” Childress said. “He knows our system inside out … This doesn’t change anything about how I feel about our football team.”

Favre is now officially retired....sorta....well, maybe....well, at least until...ENOUGH ALREADY! As someone suggested earlier, don't put tarnish on a brilliant career, Brett; its time to hang it up.

Btw, thanks for the info on Otto, Wheelsup. I didn't know he was having those kind of health problems.

On NFL.com they are saying he is staying retired.

GOOD!!!!

It is time for this stupid musical chairs of retirement to end!

[vikingBerserker]

It's sad, he could have retired a legend, but a lot of people are going to remember the crap he pulled instead. Buh bye!

Brett Favre may still be coming back to the NFL!The vibe at Vikings camp: Favre could come back - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

Give it up Brett. He is not coming back. The media just needs a story and Favre and the Vikings need some press as well.

[Bucksnort101]

Just heard fromco-workers the BF is supposedly on a plane headed towards the Twin Cities. I'm so sick of Farve that if he does come I will not watch another Vikings game.
Wonder how it makes the other 2 quarterbacks in camp feel about competing for a starting position all through training camp and then have this joker come in and just take things over? Maybe they know in advace, but I doubt it.
He needs to just stay away and enjoy retirement.

Looks like he's back!!!!http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/19/sp...9favre.html?hp

It's all I've been hearing on the radio at work today. I never really cared for Farve, seemed pretty arrogant and premandonna'ish in interviews. And always hated the pout he put up on the sidelindes after he threw a stupid interception or was about to loose a game.
Not taking away from his ability as a player, just my personal feelings.

Couple things about Brett.....

Always liked him, no doubt about it, he's a Hall of Famer.

Liked his "gunslinger" mentality.

Didn't like it when he took a dive for his buddy Strahan, to give him the "record" for QB sacks.

Tired of his retirement/un-retirement antics.

I can name ten (10) all-time QBs better than him (in no specific order).....

Unitas
Starr
Montana
Brady
Bradshaw
Aikman
Manning (Peyton)
Staubach
Elway
Marino
