MANKATO, MN - FAVRE UNRETIRES ON NOVEMBER 2 AND JOINS VIKINGS ??!!?? - SOURCES HAVE CONFIRMED THAT TALKS ARE UNDERWAY BETWEEN THE VIKINGS AND FAVRE'S AGENT, BUS COOK, ON AN 8-GAME CONTRACT THAT WOULD BRING FAVRE TO THE VIKINGS ON NOVEMBER 2. ALTHOUGH NEITHER SIDE WILL CONFIRM, NOR DENY THE DISCUSSIONS, IT HAS BEEN APPARENT THAT BOTH SIDES ARE STILL INTERESTED AND SPECULATION HAS MOUNTED ON THE HEELS OF RECENT COMMENTS BY BOTH FAVRE AND BUS COOK. SOURCES ALSO CONFIRMED THAT FORMER COACHES HOLMGREN AND REID TALKED FAVRE OUT OF JOINING VIKINGS UNTIL AFTER THE 2ND PACKERS/VIKINGS GAME ON NOVEMBER 1. ALTHOUGH THE VIKINGS WOULD HAVE PREFERRED FAVRE JOIN TEAM IMMEDIATELY, BOTH AGREED THAT THE CERTAIN MEDIA CIRCUS AND DISTRACTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE SURROUNDED THE TWO REGULAR SEASON MEETINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT AT BEST. BY JOINING THE VIKINGS DURING THEIR BYE-WEEK PRACTICES, FAVRE AND THE VIKINGS WILL HAVE A WEEK TO PREPARE FOR THE WEEK TEN MEETING AGAINST THE LIONS. THE VIKINGS ARE SURE TO SEE A FINANCIAL WINDFALL AS 5 OF THEIR 8 HOME GAMES ARE AFTER THE BYE, INCLUDING 3 STRAIGHT OFF THE BREAK AND CURRENT TICKET SALES FOR THOSE GAMES ARE STAGNANT. WATCH FOR FAVRE IN PURPLE ON NOVEMBER 2ND..............Gonzo please don't ban me!!!!!!!!!!!! SKOL VIKINGS
