I seriously don’t think this is that big a deal. Are you telling me a bunch of grown men, pro football players, are going to be affected by this to the point it is going to hurt our season.?It’s May for god’s sake. Neither Sage or Tavaris has earned the right to expect the QB job, and if we wanna flirt with Favre for a week (or a month) in an attempt to improve the team, let’s just put up with it. I Favre a drama queen? Without a doubt. Will I care about these escapades if we end up winning 12 or 13 games come January? Not one bit.

That all the bitching and moaning traces back to us as fans wanting the info and places like ESPN taking every little notion and blowing it up. Realize that NOT ONCE has either Favre or Chilly came out and personally said ANYTHING to the media other than Chilly a while back saying ’’they’d discuss it’’. We only have ourselves to be pissed at because apparently our pining for information is so palpable that the news networks can’t help but spew it out. Trust me, if no one was paying attention, they wouldn’t put these reports out. Don’t get mad at Chilly or Favre for the waffling because neither have said or done anything to indicate the big picture. All we get is ‘’inside scoops’’ and ‘’sources close to the team’‘. Really? Someone needs to balls up and give us a concrete story from the Vikes or Favre. Anyone can speculate, and everyone already has from the looks at it. So you only have yourselves to be pissed at for obviously craving information (why else would you be scouring the websites and blogs)? My favorite is the person who comes on here to post how sick they are of a Brett Favre post IN A FRICKING BRETT FAVRE POST. If you don’t like it, don’t go online and look for it. IT IS THAT FRICKING SIMPLE. Open your eyes and realize we are like hatchlings in the nest, begging for the regurgitated, reconstituted information that “close sources” feel like spewing down our throats. Do you blame the bartender for forcing shots down your throat and stumbling into an alley to puke over yourself? No. So deal with it, enjoy the ride.

i do not hate favre,favre has the right to keep playing if he wants.packers try to pay favre to retired i do not think it’s up to the packers of saying who can keep playing and who can’t.with all the story going on and who is telling these reporter all the information that they heard this heard that should get all the fact straight before opening there mouth.let the vikings and brett favre talk before you assume what he is going to do.i do not blame favre for this false information i blame the the person who is spreading the drama’s instead of finding out that facts.

Favre is a drama queen. There is no denying that.. But seriously, the damn media is to blame for all of this! If you think about it, Favre hasn’t made any comments what so ever. The only thing he said was “NO” to Trent Dilfer asking him a bunch of questions about all the rumors going around. I don’t think he ever really responded to any certain question from Dillhole, but just gave him a no as if to say he didnt want to talk to Trent. I’m just so tired of the media being able to just report any bullshit lie they want, and there are no consequenses… I have hated Favre for the majority of my life, but I hate the Packers more, and would love to see their beloved Bret Favvvvv-ra in a purple number four vikings jersey!

So much for Favre riding quietly off into the sunset, huh? The Vikings need to put an end to this. I don’t believe Favre will help the Vikes at all. If Favre plays for the Vikings, I think it will be a repeat of when Joe Namath played for the Rams. Might show my age a bit, but it was sad to watch. Favre was a great player, but its over. The Vikings need to shut this down. Its just not something any team needs. I’ve been a Vikings fan almost as long as there have been a Vikings team. (still have my first Vikings poster, copyright 1968) The QB carousel has to stop sometime. Chilly hung his hat on Jackson, so start him. What happens, happens. Only going into his forth year and only played in 25 games. Give the kid a shot. I don’t think he could have been any worse than Gus. But to bring Farve on, then what? Maybe get a year out of him and start over? Sage has been in the league for 8 years and has only been a backup. I don’t think that’s much of an upgrade. Probably been a backup that long for a reason. The Vikings need to say “this is our quarterback” , whoever that may be, and move on. However, Farve is not the answer. By the way Gonzo, nice touch with the Iraq reference.

born and raised vikings fan — i’ve seen all but 3 games since 1991 week 1 @CHI (first game was the beginning of a long, painful journey losing 6-10 despite having talent).

Please don’t let Brett Favre come to the Vikings. Jackson has look improved with every start minus maybe the eagles game but he wasn’t the reason we lost the game. I’d like to see Jackson the starter with Sage serving as a very solid backup. Brett will ruin the chemistry that has been years in the making to get to this point.

We’ve got a great team as it is, and its not healthy to have 2 quarterbacks competing for a starting job to be replaced from someone on the outside a month before the season. I am a fan that believes in Jackson. Although you can easily point out lots of negatives, and times where he didn’t make great decisions, he also has showed in games that he can lead a team. You can talk about the 8-10 losses but you can’t neglect the 12 + wins. He’s coming into his fourth year, and his 2nd as the projected starter. We havn’t seen him play a full 16 game season, and I think for Jackson to really exploit his success he needs to stay healthy for all 16 games and do it by showing leadership, and confidence. But, this chatter could all be pointless when Favre signs with us in a month and a half, and the development will have been all but washed up.

I’m done commenting on the ’ol Mississippi Drama Queen and any potential future relationship between said Drama Queen and the Vikings until one of two things happens:

(1) Brett Favre signs a contract, preferrably in his own Vicodin-tainted blood, on live TV, agreeing to play for the Minnesota Vikings, or

(2) November (not September, not October) of 2009 rolls around, and Brett Favre is still working the land in Mississippi.

Actually, I won’t bother commenting if Favre stays retired, so I will only say anything more on this story, anywhere, if Favre comes out of retirement and officially, un-ambiguously, without any doubt, announces un-categorically that he is definitely playing for the Vikings.

So…Favre as a Viking? Really? I mean, I know that’s the team he wanted to go to last season, but he’s retired for good, right? I’m not so sure anymore.

Do I think Favre still has game? Absolutely. Do I think he is still starting quarterback material? Absolutely. My issue with Brett Favre is this: if you want to play, then play; if you want to retire, then retire.

I understand that people see last season as Brett’s failure, but come on. Remember that the Jets finished 9-7 last season, and the only reason that they didn’t make the post season was because of a couple of critical losses toward the end of the regular season. Losses that were not entirely Favre’s fault. Let’s not forget about the Jet’s defense, or lack thereof. So it is entirely unreasonable to throw the entirety of the blame onto Brett’s shoulders.

During Brett Favre’s season with the Jets, he fulfilled the job description of an NFL quarterback: the scapegoat of his team.

Thats not simple,this is simple.Just kiss my ass because I really dont need you telling me where to post or how to post.For the past 5yrs its been will he won the.Like said in prior post let me know when you become a Moderator here.Ill search for a new blog that allows free speech and allows P.O.V. I come here looking for news about my Vikings,and frankly have had enough about hearing if Lord Farve has farted this morning.IF you dont like my views dont read it,but the offer still stands.KISS MY ASS!

Name one QB that has been in Minnesota since Fran Tarkenton was there that was respectable. There were a few that you could name, but if you think about it, they were at the end of their careers. Moon and Gannon are the only two that you could insert into that status and they were both has-beens. Cunningham was also at the end of the road. To me the real blame lies with the coaching staffs from the present and past. Culpepper was the closest thing to drafting a franchise QB that we have had in years and he was not the answer. He and Moss were a prolific pair, but not the answer. They should have drafted Cutler back when they had the chance and by not making any attempt to sign him this offseason, the Vikes have doomed their chances already this year. You have to have a QB to start with and then build from the inside out. By letting Birk sneak out of town and not trading for or drafting a franchise QB, management has let this team backslide another 5 years. Childress is supposed to be a QB guru, however, I am not impressed. Sage is a career back-up with a record of 6-6. WOW! that would scare any opposing defense.
