Vikings Want Decision from Favre This Week!

Florio @ PFT is Linking a story from Peter King of SI.com saying this exact story

All has been quiet on the Brett Favre front for nearly a week. Even with Mike Vick eclipsing Favre on the SportsCenter loop, Favre has resisted the temptation to make news.

But there’s a development.

It comes not from the Favre camp, but from the team with which he has been linked ever since the knees of his Second Annual Retirement started to wobble late last month, when the Jets released his rights.

According to Peter King of SI.com, the Vikings want a decision from Favre soon, possibly by the end of the week. Put simply, the team wants to know what their quarterback depth chart will look like for the 2009 season.

King also writes that Favre’s partially detached biceps tendon is “hanging by a thread,” and that the arthroscopic procedure necessary to detach it completely (which supposedly would solve Favre’s problems with the arm) would be an easy one.

So there you have it. The Vikes finally want to put these Favre rumors to bed.

Which might open the door for a wave of Vick-to-Vikes rumors.

Unlikely.

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

Hmmm...

Since when does Farve do what people want?

He is all about himself, and will not respond to this request. Expect another 8 weeks of this at least.

All about himself?

Obviously you know N-O-T-H-I-N-G about Favre. He has NEVER been about just himself. Try and read up on his bio and then maybe, MAYBE you might know something to talk about.

Oh for sure...

He’s just a good ol’ country boy. He just wants to have fun and play some football. He’s a simple man, who’d like nothing better than to just toss a ball around, or mow the lawn, or lounge about in some wranglers. Just a good ol’ boy…

Sarcasm? What? Don’t be ridiculous…

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

Umm if we’re a QB away from the SB, why would we take Vick? Those are stupid rumors.

If the Vikes bring in Vick, will we get to see more hot nekkid PETA chicks prostituting themselves for a bit of doggy love?

I can't believe you

There’s no such thing as hot PETA chicks.

Don't Make me Post Video Links Here...

That would be in the worst possible… taste….

Do you like veggies? Rhetorical question, of course. Of course.

It still won't be over.

Exactly

The Vikings have already decided to make a run at the Super Bowl.

Favre has already decided to be undecided.

"end of the week"

In Favrespeak, does that mean Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

by KC Viking on May 25, 2009 4:03 PM CDT reply actions

It means three days before training camp.

You want to win a Super Bowl, dont you? Favre is all you got! I dont see any other “phenomenal” QB’s hanging out in Viking land…

by favre4evr on May 27, 2009 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions

Grossman is a FA… No, seriously. He took a team to the SB. They pretty much got smushed in it, but he took them there.

by Frost on May 27, 2009 9:34 PM CDT up reply actions

Funny...

I don’t see any available phenomenal QBs at all.

And my favorite equation:

Favre=/= Super Bowl

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

CNN/SI article

A few nuggets to chew on in the dog days. If I were to read the tea leaves of this latest article…
It sounds like Favre gave himself a deadline for the surgery and that he is willing to have it done as a last resort. Which is better than not at all. I doubt King would put that kind of pressure on Favre. So he’s gonna spin it a little. I’m guessing these timelines came from Favre.
Now that we know Favre is willing to have this procedure (because I don’t think King would be so optimistic if it was not Favre’s idea), it seems like it’s almost a certainty that this deal goes down. So for those of you still bashing the idea, maybe it’s time to tuck tail and see the glass half full, or settle down for 2-3 years of misery. Watching your team win and you can’t even enjoy it. Pretty silly.
