Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Jay Glazer Just Can't Say Goodbye to Favreapalooza

Why has this report from Jay Glazer been receiving so much attention today?  Beats me.  But after seeing it around the web, it's something that should probably be noted -- and refuted -- here at DN:

After visiting the Vikings for two days, I am convinced — positively convinced — that Brett Favre will soon have talks with the Vikings to return to the team and could be joining them for this season after all. If my instincts are correct, all those purple Favre jerseys will have a home on Minnesota store shelves.

No, no, no, no, no.  The Favre thing is over, even if folks like Glazer are still relying on him to draw attention to their articles.  There's no going back from the moment in the end of July when Favre told the Vikings he wanted to stay in retirement -- he's more than welcome to play for another team, but just not the Vikings.

This lingered over the Vikings for nearly three months during the offseason.  Letting it continue any longer would be an inexcusable mistake, as this team needs to do whatever it can to move on and rally behind whichever quarterback wins the competition and becomes the starter.  A continuation of Favregeddon would irreparably harm the credibility of nearly everyone involved in making personnel decisions for the organization.

Blind speculation like Glazer's seems to be what passes for news when it comes to Brett Favre's future, so I'll deny what he wrote just as easily as he dreamed it up.  No, the scenario Glazer wrote about absolutely will not happen.  It will not.  Favre-to-Vikings is a dead scenario, and Glazer looks like an ass for attempting to revive it.

I don't understand why Favre couldn't just put up with camp and commit

… but to be honest, there is very little I understand about Favre off the field, when it comes down to it. The ordeal of camp & the dorms would not be half as bad as the ordeal he’d get from press and fans (& teammates??? maybe not if Adrian would still embrace him, which it sounds like he will) if he even falters once (but then again, I’ve never been through an NFL camp. Given what happened to Korey Stringer, maybe it is a larger ordeal).

To tell you the truth, this makes more sense than the alternative, him getting the surgery, then not playing at all. We all know deep down inside that that made even less sense.

As good as Sage looked in the preseason game, though … I’m still willing to go with Favre, if he can bring the goods. Sorry, I know that sentiment will piss most of you off, but … winning is not the main thing, it is the only thing … and I am just not that excited about our chances this year with the current QB lineup. Sorry, just being honest. It would have to be a heavily incentive-laden deal though, to compensate for the crap and lack of commitment to this point. Produce to get paid.

Favre = Winning?

Show your work on this math. A thirty-nine year old QB with a penchant for game-killing INTs, a drama queen QB who divided his locker room last year, who claims he doesn’t have the heart to play a full season, is an improvement? He sure turned thing around for the Jets last year.

Say NO to Favre!

by Midnight Rambler on Aug 17, 2009 3:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

LOL

And Sage does NOT have “a penchant for throwing INTs” by your “math” ???

Yeah, call me mathematically illiterate then, since I would say that a QB who has started every game for 17 years, and had only one losing season in that stretch (4 years ago), and whose team last year went from 4-12 to 9-7, yes he has proven he can win — as much as anyone could.

I can’t believe you chose this angle to attack Favre. His ability to win is the least thing the man has to prove to the world.

Jets + Favre + No Playoffs

And how far did the Jets go in the playoffs under Favre’s leadership? Nowhere—because they didn’t make it. The Jets, however did suffer from a divided locker room that resented Favre, while their playoff chances slipped away as the ol’ Mississippi drama queen threw bad INTs at critical times down the stretch.

I would also mention that Favre was a factor in the Jets needing a new head coach, but in Minnesota’s case that would be a good thing.

The coach should have benched him when he got hurt. That could also be a reason they fired him, not too smart on the coaches part.

Different team, different offence (won’t be an issue here), and favre actually wants to go to the vikes. Its unrealistic to assume favre will play the same way as he did in NY.

Favre is going to be a Viking

get over it. He doesn’t need camp because this is the offense he has run all his career and with AP back there he will not be the focus of the offense. Timing with his receivers will be the biggest issue but that will come. Favre in NY was never going to work because of the media, lame duck coach and a team that was incompletely built. The Vikings are a perfect fit for Favre and he knows it. He wants one more ring and the Vikings happen to be his best chance at getting that career ending title.

Woah!

hey now, the Jets where not as good as the Vikes are, they did not have a AD, there’s no doubt the Vikes would be Superbowl contenders if they had a solid QB situation, I’d rather have a hall-of-fame QB if he’s healthy through a overagressive INT in the playoffs to the Eagles than have T-Jack Telegraph a wounded duck out to Sid Rice to get picked. Farve doesn’t make bad plays he tries to make too many Frickin Amazing plays. . .I like that a lot better. . .
Down the stretch Favre was hurting and really didn’t care about what the NY Jets did that year, and was most likely just throwing to try to get that Bicep tendon to tear. Brett Favre isn’t a Football team by himself, Brett’s a 40 year old QB. He can’t turn a below 500 team into a playoff squad by himself! The dudes a diva and want’s to play for the Vikes so he can stick it to everyone, mainly the Packers, he wanted to last year, but if he thinks he’s special enough to not come to training camp and then walk in a take a starting job, Favrapalooza is over in my mind, even though I still wish it had worked out. . .let’s go Sage and T-Jack!
Brett Favre isn’t a Football team by himself, Brett’s a 40 year old QB who could run the Vikes offense in a formidable fashion. . .but so can someone else. . .and to Mr. Glazer go live off writing articles on Mike Vick, shouldn’t be hard. . .END FAVRAPALOOZA NOW! IT’s OVER GET IT!

Aren't Glazer and Urlacher tight?

This is pay-back for the Bobby Wade thing where Cutler was called a Pussy by Urlacher. Sorry, I have to throw that one in every chance I can. Cutler is a putz.

>> No, no, no, no, no. The Favre thing is over

I think the internet and ESPN would beg to differ. The Vikes might be happy with Sage, but, “The Favre Thing” is not over. Just ask the Packers about last year. Favre may not step foot in Minnesota this year, but it’s on all year long either way. So go get him Zygi.

If T-Jack does not absolutely light it up against the Chiefs, why would you want him as the back-up? He was mediocre last week and it’s been constant for 2+ years now.

How many fans sold low on those GB@MIN and MIN@GB tickets?

Bring in Favre, and since Sage looked good this preseason, put Favre on a relatively short leash so Sage could salvage the year if Favre can’t get it done. Not that I think that will come into play with Favre and this Vikings team that looked great in the 1st Q against Indy.

I have a new nickname for Brett.

“Genital Warts.” You might not always see him, but he won’t ever completely go away and always comes back when you don’t want him to.

And just like the warts, I hope I never have to deal with Favre on a personal capacity.

Except...

…STDs are contagious from (presumably) too much of a (hopefully) good thing, whereas Favre is more like a white elephant that gets passed around. He has seemed too good to throw away, but not necessarily something one wants to be stuck with at this point.

Forty-year Old Pick-Up In A Bar

Favre is like the genital warts you picked up from that forty-year former beauty queen.

She was hot fifteen years ago, and you can still see how everyone wanted her back in the day, but wear and tear in action, on top of too many Vicodins and plain old time, have sapped a lot of what made her special. The spitfire attitude and diva quality is still there, though, and she still thinks she’s hot.

That’s why, at the end of the night when the twenty-five year old head case and thirty-year old divorced mother of three you were chatting up are starting to look like acceptable conquests, you forget all about them when the forty-year old sidles up to you. With dim lighting and a few beers in you, you can look past the wrinkles, scars, moles, and gray hair, and see the knockout of 1996.

For her part. the forty-year old is angry at her long-time partner who jilted her for some little twenty-year old from California. They happen to be sitting right next to you in the bar. So the forty-year old sidles up, coos some deep-south nothings in your ear, and you ditch the head case and divorced mom to take the forty-year old home.

Problem is, once you leave the bar she has made her point, and she asks you to just drop her off at home—“you understand, right. I’ve had enough of the dating scene.” So you go back to the bar, but the head case and the divorced Mom are pissed at you. A few drinks smooth things over, and you’re deciding which one to take home. Then the forty-year old shows up, deciding she has an itch to be scratched after all. You ditch the other two, thinking to yourself that “I’ve got a winner here, even if she was hotter thirteen years ago.”

It all looks great at 2:00 AM, but when you wake up in the morning you realize the forty-year old wasn’t that lively. Plus, you can see the wrinkles, gray hair, and sagging very clearly, and the head-case and divorced mom are mad at you. The forty-year old doesn’t care, having made her point to her old partner and his young chippy from the west coast. She leaves without a care, leaving you to look in the mirror and ask if it was worth it.

Two weeks later, the first warts show up.

Did anyone listen to Favre's words?

In Favre’s own words, he said he “could not play a full season”. 8, 12 or 14 games and no camp? Sure.

Last week I set the over/under on when Favre signs at week 3. Move it up to week 2 or Sept. 15, 2009. That will give BF about 2 1/2 weeks to make his debut in week 4 against GB.

You can really tell that Jay Glazer works for the Fox Network. From the Glen Beck/Fox and Friends Playbook:

1. Take a current issue that riles people up.
2. Make something fictitious up.
3. Twist it into something that YOU would like to see happen partially because it would give you future relevance.
4. Predict that “its inevitable”. For example: “Obama will turn this country into a socialist country, its inevitable.”
5. Then say that “i talked to lots of people and they were really emotional about it”. Of course you never name names.
6. When later called on it, point out you are just speculating in one breath and then reiterate your certainty that you are right in the other.

I understand...

this was a pre season game but I think “The Tavaris Jackson Experiment” should end before the season starts. Ya, he didn’t play with the first team, but I don’t think he would have done much better if he would have started the game. I guess we will see how he does against KC.
   Also, was it Glazer who reported about the unnamed Vikings players who had talked to Favre? I agree with puddnhead, and since I don’t have to live with any of you I can honestly say I would still be happy to have Brett Favre as the starting QB. Even missing training camp and most of the pre season I believe he will play better than Tavaris Jackson will. Hey if Brett gets hurt or can’t finish the season at least the Vikings will be no worse off than what they were when the season started.

It is because

Neither T.Jack or Sage(with extended reps) proved to be good enough. So if Booty looked okay I understand why. Sage may have been a backup all his career and the Vikes could have waisted time on T.Jack. These are all possibilities. Glazer has had many first reports on breaking news that has been valid. I don’t disregard him here.

I have mixed emotions…But he shld have came to camp and got his timing down with new team mates, IF this is something he wants to do……I think Sage can lead us to the promise land…So, I’m not holding my breathe for Farve, just holding my breathe Chilly does not foolishly select Jackson to start the season…

Jay Glazer doesn’t make this stuff up. Favre wanted to take more time and avoid training camp. With Chilly in his last year to win big or be fired he will succumb to Favre, if he chooses to play. He is simply an upgrade from what he Vikes have now and as much as I wish the Vikes could say no, its not like they have Philip Rivers, Pey…

Favre is Probably Trying on a Viking Uniform in Private

Why? Because;

1) The old warhorse just doesn’t want to sit on the porch
2) He’s got a little something-something for Green Bay
3) The Vikings QBs are doing so extraordinarily well, between injuries and performance
4) He continues to work out and practice, which is not what retirees do
5) Revenge4Favre continues to hang out at the DN, think of it like an omen… or a vulture
6) Favre has a bad case of Purple-Envy

he'll be gone because...

the black mark you spoke of—qb. he has completely missed on the position the whole time he has been here. i know that culpepper had a tremendous receiving core around him, but i think he was still better than what we have now, or since childress ran him out of town. by the way, i was never much of a culpepper fan myself. he has missed out on some decent available qbs. there has been no initiative to even try to trade for a top notch (potentially) qb. also, how about the ones he let get away? tyler thigpen, & also shaun hill. both fighting for a STARTING job with their teams. they never got a chance from childress. ultimately though, the reason the qb situation will be his undoing, is because the qb being the highest profile player, sells tickets. don’t know how many people come to see our qb play.

My opinion

Well folks First of all hello. This is my first time posting but I finnally had to break down and chime in on this one.
First thing I was born and raised in MN and have always been a viking fan and always will be!
Now the question seems to be weather or not farve could help the vikings even if he skipped camp and preseason.
I say yes!
 And I want to ask if anyone remembers another 40+ year old qb who played for the vikings? named warren moon?? was he washed up at 40 when he played?? NO!
now I will say the vikings with sage or t-jack will be 9-7 or maybe 10-6 again but they will flop in the playoffs once again.
with farve 11-5 if not 12-4 and I would venture a guess atleast 2 game into the playoffs if not better! maybe superbowl but farve and the other key players would have to stay injury free to do it.
hell if a half@ss qb with some great recievers and running backs can go 15-1 with dennis green as coach this team with chilly and farve shold be able to win the superbowl lol.

just my opinion and you guys can blast me all you want it will not matter cause I still love the vikings.

"The questioni"

First of all, welcome!

Now regarding your post. Actually I think for a majority here (with notable excpetions like farva, DCPurple, etc), the question “weather or not farve could help the vikings even if he skipped camp and preseason” is actually NOT the real question anymore. Most agreed the answer to that was yes. the question for many now seems to be: will resentment of this special treatmetn of favre cause discord in camp, destroy team chemistry, split the lockerroom, undermine Chilly’s authority and respect of hsi players, etc?

Mix that in with a few people like me, who don’t have those worries so much (hey, supposedly jsut about everyone inside the Vikings is on the same page on this and has accepted it, according to Glazer), but do have some worries that favre may not be in good enough shape to last entire season if he skips most of camp. This is kind of the flip side of what favre might be thinking: he said he’s worried he can’t go all the way from July 30 to Feb 5 (ro whatever). I’m worried that if he doesn’t start til Sept or Oct, he won’t get benefit of conditioning. I dunno, maybe he makes more sense than me. I’m about the same age, and I can see his point to some degree.

The point is having to look at Favre quarterback our team. The point is having EVERYTHING be about Favre. Watching Vikes games and having to deal with a pan to Favre’s expression on the sideline after every play. The announcers praising him like a god. The nauseating post game interviews. The Favre this and the Favre that. It will no longer be the Vikings. It should make everyone on this site completely sick to their stomachs to even think about it.

Oh god Here we go again

From PFT

Several readers claim that Zygi Wilf’s plane is waiting to whisk Favre from Hattiesburg to Minnesota. We’ve got no idea whether any of it is accurate, but the rumor is spreading, quickly.

We’ve tried to determine whether Wilf’s plane is indeed in Hattiesburg. As best we can tell, the tail number is N18MV. The plane is registered to Short Hills Aviators of Short Hills, New Jersey. And that makes sense, since Wilf built his real estate empire in that neck of the woods.

Unfortunately, the plane with that specific tail number has been blocked from tracking via FlightAware.com.

So stay tuned. The smoke is building. All that remains is determine whether there will be a fire.

If there is, Favre could be introduced at Thursday night’s preseason home opener against the Chiefs, and then make his debut on August 31 at Houston, in a game that coincidentally will be televised nationally by ESPN.

….. revenge, records, adulation, attention, and certainly on some level football. And all of those things are significantly higher on the list of things he cares about than the Minnesota Vikings football team.

If he had come to camp, and put in at least some honest effort to put the team in a stronger position for Game 1, it would have been so well received— whether he was actually bustin’ his butt or not. He would have been cut plenty of slack if had actually tried to put in some work.

There is just a little too much diva and not enough team leader in this guy at this stage.

It needs to be over.

I gotta keep going

I am completely pissed off at the GUTLESS reaction by some of you. Where the fuck is your pride! You WANT to see Favre hoist up OUR TROPHY?!? The trophy we’ve been waiting for our entire lives? Is it really worth it to you to watch this cinderella scumdouche hand it to you? The thought of it is just pathetic.

You've got to admit

It would be great to rub Packers fans’ noses in it.

ESPN is like E Hollywood News these days. Wait till you something from a source before you punt your lunch all over the place.

Media

Think about it: all of these Farveisa40yearoldfuturehalloffamerwhoisprobablygonnagethitreallyhardandbreakhisback
reports come from the media because they are as bored as I am during summer vacation, and they dont wanna lose their jobs. Farve said that he would stay retired because he didnt think that he could play a full season. So why are still writing about him? I mean he would be better than any of the qbs on our roster, but the media is taking it too far. I wish they could just shut up once and for all and see that im makes the world a much better place.

But wait, they have an email this time!

ESPN – “Vikings coach Brad Childress confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday morning that Favre was traveling from Mississippi to meet with the team.”

Yeah right, I’m sure Chilly is going to announce something like this through a freakin email. What a joke.
