Finally! Favre to Speak Monday on HBO

And Brett Favre's first interview of Favregeddon goes to...Joe Buck?  Yes folks, the upcoming trainwreck comedy/variety/interview show known as "Joe Buck Live" will debut Monday night with a Favre interview, and this leaves a burning question for the upcoming hours: Will the interview leave more questions than answers, or will Favregeddon actually start to be resolved with Monday night's show? 

I certainly understand why people might think that the interview will resolve little, but I'm hopeful that he'll confirm his plans for the season, regardless of whether he's coming back or not -- with such confirmation and closure obviously being the best-case scenario for Monday.  Wishful thinking, perhaps, but we can dream.

What do you think?  Will the dance continue after Monday night, or will we start seeing Favre's 2009 plans solidify?  I know Buck wants to make a splash with this being his first show, so I wonder if he's bringing Favre on with the knowledge that Brett will be making a big announcement.  That'd be a damn good way to launch the series.

If you have HBO, clear out your Monday evening now so you can plant yourself in front of the television.  And if you don't, we'll obviously have complete coverage right here -- we'll put together a live blog and open thread for the interview to keep everyone updated throughout "Joe Buck Live," which will air at 8:00p CT.

Favre will confirm that Favre is still able to play, but that Favre is still not sure whether Favre wants to play or if Favre doesn’t want to play.

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

Seriously

if he says that he isn’t sure whether or not he wants to play monday I’m going to be pissed. Why go on there just to say you aren’t sure yet? I’m thinking that won’t be the case. It better not be anyways. What I’m thinking is he’s either going to say “No, I’m done for good” or he’s going to announce that he’s ready to sign with the Vikes.

Just watch. He’s going to say, “I just want to clear something up. I can still play. I can still throw. I’m just not sure if I want to keep playing or not.”

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

Speaking of throwing, I’m gonna throw something at my TV if that happens.

I'm gonna throw my TV at something.

I can see him saying that.

Talking with his hands, and shrugging a few times, being all serious, but thinking, “Eff you, Vikings’ fans. I’m not telling you a damn thing.”

Damn Straight

This guy isnt going to say s&%t tonight!!! He’s going to lap up all the attention & talk about his favorite topic….HIMSELF. “I’m ready to play…my are feels great…..I’m still a viable option in the NFL…”. blah, blah, blah. Seriously, if he openly states “I’m ready to come back & win in Minnesota” I will have a heart attack & miss the entire 2009-10 season. This guy is BS walking. Keep in mind that he still needs to find a way to BS his way out of training camp.

I like..

that you called it a trainwreck and then proceeded to say it’s the Debut show.

Is this blog made by Fox News?

C’mon…it’s a Joe Buck comedy show. Call me crazy, but I don’t think he’s gonna give Conan or Letterman a run for their money.

by Anthony21 on Jun 14, 2009 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I dub anything Joe Buck is affiliated with

LAME

I’m pretty sure he will drag this out another month or so, the Vikings staff dangling under him, doing this Favre dance. I want him on the team, I just hate all the drama.

by PurpleEaters on Jun 14, 2009 10:39 PM CDT reply actions  

High stakes

I think there must be some other people besides me who have actually respected how Favre (and the Vikings) has kept his yap 100% shut through this whole “saga,” thinking he didn’t know if he could overcome his injury, and in that case of uncertainty, it was best to say nothing at all.

For that reason I’m a bit surprised — and anxious — that he is gonna appear on this show. If he isn’t able to give a clear answer, that will be a major disappointment. And it will also be a disappointment if he says a lot of negative things about Ted Thompson. Even if his feelings are justified, I think he would be best off taking the high road. Just focus on the positive: I want to play, this is a good team, I want to be part of it, I loved playing in Green Bay, but they needed to move on, so I need to move on too.

No HBO here.

Thank God. I will proceed with my life normally. If Favre comments on Favre or Favre’s arm or Favre’s desire to play or Favre’s desire to miss OTA’s; I am sure ESPN will report about it. But they may not report correctly, as Favre’s comments may not fit their storyline like Chilly’s comments didn’t when he spoke.

There is life before & after Favre. In fact there is life during Favre. It’s just more annoying during Favre. : )

I have HBO

but I’m not tuning in. I’ll just read everyone else’s reactions :)

that actually sounds fun!

Hey Frost

For us non HBO people, watch and blog on it. I’m sure he’ll say nothing but nontheless I am curious.
Thanks bro

Favre wil say nothing

You keep wanting to get your chain yanked? That is exactly what I will expect. Sure, I’ll tune in here to see what he has to say, but don’t expect something big.
It’ll be a hodgepodge of “Well, I miss it, not sure what I want to do, as of now I’m retired and enjoying life, I’ve talked with a couple teams and I guess I’ve learned never to say never. The surgery? Oh, I was having trouble making turns with the 4 wheeler and thought it might help.”
Thanks Brett. You have been enlightening.
Don’t forget, we must end the interview with how great BF was and what a joy it was to see you play.

this is about how i expect it to go.

by iseepurplepeople on Jun 15, 2009 12:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Isee

I wrote a funny e-mail to my buddy back home in Minny. It was what I wrote above with a flash ahead to his coming out of retirement interview. He suggested I fan post it.
I will literally sh— in my chair if he announces he is signing, but I’m so sure he won’t that I won’t be holding the toilet paper in anticipation.

BSPN Not Reporting...

I couldn’t help but notice that ESPN hasn’t mentioned one word about Favre going on Joe Bucks show tonight… Which doesn’t suprise me at all
