More Favre: Has the Inevitable Already Happened?

If a certain internet website is to be believed, it's quite possible that it has.
Pro Football Talk is reporting/suggesting that the Minnesota Vikings might already have a signed deal with Brett Favre, and have given the green light to the making of #4 jerseys with Favre's name on them.
Man. . .John David Booty is gonna be pissed.
On the one hand, this IS PFT, and so it's necessary to take this news/rumor with as much NaCl as you deem fit. On the other hand, if it is true, I really don't think it will surprise anybody. I hope that it is true, not just because I've already expressed my belief that Favre is an upgrade for this team, but because it would mean that the entire drama would be over for a month or so.
Of course, this is just the side show. The full circus is coming to Winter Park next month. Hey, you never know. . .maybe the folks from ESPN will actually kiss Minnesota's butt for a change rather than crapping all over the Vikings like they usually do. Stranger things have happened.

Funny thing is, that is exactly what Packers fans thought, each and every year, from 1996-2007.
It has been 12 years now since it actually turned into reality.
After the dust settles, the only real effect that Favre is going to have on the Vikings is to disrupt whatever QB developement might otherwise take place, and this is going to end up being a good thing for the other three teams in the NFC North; not only this year and next, but for long after Favre finally, truthfully, retires.
PurpleCrush, for that reason, among others, you won’t see any disappointment from Packers (team) fans, who won’t put ANY player ahead of the team, as Favre seems to expect fans to do with him.
The Bears still suck; The 'Queens take it a step further.
And the Lions couldn't beat The Little Sisters of the Poor!

Big thanks for that post.
Every Packer fan I know, every single one, is completely devoid of disappointment. Most are looking forward to feasting on his forced passes. Most are past the point of caring that Favre might be a Viking, and have at least accepted it.
Besides that, I don’t really care about making Packer fans angry. I want to win. Favre isn’t going to win a Super Bowl, so why waste our time soiling ourselves with him?
Like he said, it’s been 12 years since Favre has won a Super Bowl. Yes, he has done it, something Tjack and Sage haven’t done, but that was TWELVE YEARS AGO! It’s not happening!
In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

>> Every Packer fan I know, every single one, is completely devoid of disappointment.
To your face. Do you really think they are going to break down in front of you? What else can they do? Trust me, it’s bugging the crap out of them. Just wait until the Vikings win with Favre. They will have some BS answer like, “It doesn’t matter that Favre beat the Pack, it’s just one win”. Then they will go home and cry in their Old Mil-stinky.
>> Like he said, it’s been 12 years since Favre has won a Super Bowl.
He wasn’t playing for the Vikes in those years either. There are lots of great QBs that don’t win a Super Bowl. It means nothing to the quality of player he is that he has not won one in 11 years. That’s just a salty, bitter Pack fan seeing his Old Mil-stinky half full when he knows the only reason it’s half full is because Thompson pissed in his glass.
HAHAHA Packers suck and so does their beer.

Poor John David.

Now Bus Cook has told the St Paul Pioneer Press that no deal is in place...

Even more typical, with Cook, than with most.

I work with a bunch of them and so far they have been doing a pretty good job at hiding their true feelings on this matter, so time will tell.

Disappoint the Packer fans?
I’ll be disappointed if it happens. And yes, I’m still going to say if.

Just say no to Favre.

Are you schizophreic or something? Just wondering what’s up with the screen name, which makes it seem that all you can think about is Favre, yet it seems like >80% of what you post here (that actually has to do with football) are exercises in how many ways you can find to say “I hate Brett Favre”

Just going to copy and paste from an earlier post if you don’t mind.
My nickname is Farva (like from Super Troopers), and so I just made my username FarvaForTheVikings. Easy to remember, makes sense, and all that jazz. That was before this whole fiasco started, and now my name is confusing. Too late to change it though.
Just keep in mind the spelling. F-A-R-V-A =/= F-A-V-R-E
I have so many posts about hating Favre because A) I enjoy it, it provides an outlet for my anger, and keeps me relatively sane, and B) Favre is all we talk about, and I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really don’t want him to be a Viking.
And sorry if you don’t like the non-football posts, I like to have a little fun, go off on tangents, occasionally screw around, etc.
In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

Tyler Thigpen
got released so the team could keep Kelly Holcomb and Brooks Bollinger – hopefully Booty doesn’t turn out to be a solid backup while Jackson’s out of the league in 2 years.

My gf and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary in 2 weeks. She is a die hard Packers fan. Should I get her a Favre Viking jersey to go with her Favre Packers jersey?

If you've been together for three years
I find it hard to believe that a gift like a purple Favre jersey could spell the end of the relationship.
So, by all means, go for it. (-:

He's the reason we made the playoff, genius.

Was our stellar defense and excellent running game.

Hard for a guy to be the reason the Vikings made the playoffs when he said for 11 games.

Favre #4 jersey…and it’s purple.
by toke1 on Jun 22, 2009 11:44 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
From the product description.
Engineered and constructed to duplicate the team skill position, this Reebok® Premier Jersey is made with a heavier, diagonal pattern 2-tone mesh for an authentic look and feel. The officially licensed jersey is designed with sewn on single-layer tackle twill player and team graphics at the chest, back, sleeves, and shoulders (where applicable).
These jerseys are custom jerseys and Reebok hasn’t released these to the masses yet because Favre hasn’t signed with the Vikings yet.
Emphasis is mine.
