PrintOf course, most of us know this already. Hell, everybody in America outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin and Bristol, Connecticut seems to have caught on to that fact already.
However, if there was still any doubt. . .
The latest indication has been the fact Favre has been throwing to wide receivers at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss. Favre did the same thing last year as he attempted to decide whether to join the Vikings.
Nevil Barr, the coach at Oak Grove, said that Favre was on the field Thursday morning throwing passes to the high school receivers. According to Barr, Favre began making occasional appearances at the high school to throw shortly after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in late May.
Yes. . .I, for one, am shocked and amazed by this revelation.
Yes, America, the NFC North's best quarterback will be back in 2010, and he'll be the NFC North's best quarterback again this year, too.
The rest of the division is already playing for second place, much like they were by August last year after Favre signed with the Vikings. Isn't that a nice feeling?

This is the biggest open secret
since Liberace said he was gay.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way
I thought your mother had told you already.

Don’t hate the player, hate the play.

I get it and everything....
But couldn’t ol’ Favrey just come out and say…“I’ll be back for the start of preseason” and let the media stories die? We all know he’s coming back. We all know he won’t be in camp. We all know he’s ready for another shot with this team. Why not just lay it on the table?
By the Vikings (lack of) moves this offseason regarding the QB position, it’s a no-brainer Chilly has known all along he is coming back. The game is just getting a little old. If I have to read one more blog from MJD bashing Favre for driving the media crazy while notching page views, I shall surely vomit.
Just bring on the season already! I’m ready to erase the taste of that loss out of my head, and build on another championship run with an even better team this year.
Can’t wait to hit Mankato again this summer. Almost there….

But it's more fun this way
When he did it with the Packers, he was actually torn about wanting to go back and get his butt kicked.
With the Vikings, he knows he’s coming back for another chance at a Super Bowl.

It's done this way because
Then all the stories would be “why does he get a pass from camp if it’s certain he’ll play?”
As annoying as these stories are, they are still less annoying to both Chilly and Favre than those stories would be. Much better for them to just say like they are now “We don’t know what will happen … wink, wink”
Wouldn’t those conversations happen anyway though? I mean he IS under contract right now, isn’t he? I know he’s “toying” with retirement like usual, but he didn’t ACTUALLY do it this time so really even if he was contemplating, he could be fined for missing mandatory stuff regardless. Not trying to stir things up, just pointing out the diff. between this year and last. I don’t think they should do it but even if he is doing it this way, the same arguments could be made since he isn’t actually retired this time.
The Show Must Go On!
I hope Favre calls a press conference to announce that Cris Carter is coming back. (A good disinformation campaign is a treasure forever.)
He's gotta see how the ankle feels before he commits.
There’s no need to travel all the way to Eden Prairie (where no camera’s are allowed) when there’s an open field right in Hattiesberg. :)
Yes
They knew every year. Hey, they even knew when he “retired.” It was obvious before March 2008 had ended that he wanted to come back, there was already a trip to Hattiesburg scheduled and canceled, and the Packers had already gone out and signed Ari Fleischer as a consultant to manage the inevitable comeback, given that they had decided they didn’t want him back & they were determined to win the PR battle, no matter what it took.
Certain types of Packer fans just like (and liked) to pretend they did not know, so they could b%tch about how much it sucked that they did not “know.” And by the way, in my experience, most of those Packers fans were ones who did NOT live in Green Bay. Green Bay people knew Favre better, and like him more, and sweat this stuff less.
I'm glad he's coming back
I can’t wait to see a boy named SUH snap Favre in 1/2 and make him take a huge Millen in his Depends, but thats just me. :)
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
Hey look, a Lions fan! How cute!
I will give you props for the Millen joke though.

lol Sure
And I can’t wait to see Favre carve up your secondary and have Sidney Rice throw down another 200+ yard day on you guys.
yeah, thats prolly gonna happen again
we spike our kool-aid.
Heavily spike our kool-aid
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
Hey drink it up
I think you guys are on the right path. You have a legitimate d-line with Suh and VandenBosch, young playmakers on offense at key positions, and a good coaching staff. Linehan sucked as a head coach in St Louis, but was a good OC in Minnesota.
I think 6 or 7 wins isn’t out of the question for your team, but I don’t see them beating the Vikes. Your linebackers and secondary just aren’t there yet, and your o-line doesn’t match up well to our d-line.

Speaking of defensive secondary
the Lions just signed a geriatric Dre’ Bly!!!
Put it in stone right here, right now- Brett Favre will NOT have a QB rating over 136.4 against the Lions this year!
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
I agree
That team is definitely on the right path to FINALLY not being the laughing stock of the North! I am kind of glad actually…it was getting almost kinda old. Interesting thing though is that if they rise, who falls to the bottom? I vote the Bears! :-)
Detroit win something then talk to me and favre will have thrown a TD by the time he gets to him but hey you get an d for effort friken slapnut!!!!
lol I never said we'd win
my comment is more out of respect to Favre. William Ford may sign the paychecks, but Favre owns the Lions. After seeing him trounce my team year-in and year-out for 20 years… you get the idea. You’ve been there, too. lol
Of the NFC North opponents, I hate the Vikes and their fans the least.
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
The Lions look like they could be real contender's in a couple of years.
The front office is actually getting some talent with those top ten picks. I’m sure you Lions fans are thinking it’s about time.
Darn skippy we are
Most of us are in shock that we might be getting talent with the 2nd and 3rd round picks, too.
I’m hoping your team thrashes the Bears and Packers this upcoming season

Is it obvious...
I started the 4th of July weekend drinking early?
All you folks here at the DN have a safe and fun holiday!

This 'news' makes
the football season for me, every time it’s posted. Favre is great for football, and even better for this team.
The fact that people can get irritated over something like this mystifies me. Personally, I’m irritated by Access Hollywood every time it’s on,and similar useless info crap of that nature, but I don’t feel the need to vent/rant online about it. Making mention of it here does not qualify it as a rant, in case anyone was gonna use ‘the pot calling the kettle black’ idiom.
Irritating crap is gonna happen – enjoy the ride by letting it ride…

Actually theis is kinda anticlimactic
The real news was sorta buried in the Hattiesburg newspaper interview awek or two back — it mentioned that the interview was held right after favre had just finished an hour or two on the exercise bike.
The fact he was doing hours at a time on the exercise bike told me he was already beginning his prep.
Those Oak Grove High School kids are lucky
Two years in a row preparing for their season with an NFL legend. Not a bad gig.

Not all of them
One of them is named Steve McNair Jr. He has not had such great luck during his HS years.
Actually, there are two pro quarterbacks throwing passes at Oak Grove High.....
?Jason Campbell is the other one. I think his name is Jason – he played for the Washington Redskins last year and got traded to the Oakland Raiders.

I agree with puddnhead
If Favre came out and sd he was coming back now, we would have to listen to why he is not in camp with everyone else…better off this way..he does not want to come to camp early, so be it…
Hey Gonzo.................
Favre is not only the best QB in the NFC North.
Favre is the best QB in all of the NFL.
Heck Favre is the Greatest QB in NFL History, Bar None!
Come on man, get that straight. You know that by now.

Brett Favre is the Greatest QB in NFL History, Bar None!

Brett will be back again we all know it.
I feel funny posting on this web site about the vikings, but to me personally I believe the Pack wronged him when they did not give him his release after telling him he could not comeback, and then trading him to a 4-12 team so he wouldn’t have a shot at thte playoffs, but he showed class and almost made them a contender. So when Brett says he wants to play. He is the greatest Quarteback to ever play the game and he derves the respect of all. He is so funto watch play he has so much heart and with Jared Allan on defense you have it all no I am a long time pack fan, but I enjoyed watching him whip our butts both times last year. Go Brett win a SB for the vikes you know thats what you want and I for one love watching you play
Oh, it'll happen this season
The story is too good. N.O. got their hand-out, and now its the Vike’s turn.
GB's new fight song : Your boyfreinds back and your going to be in trouble .
He always sits with his immediate faily and they vote . It sounds like a joke . But it is the way his family does it . With the Jets they said , “Get out of here , we are tired of you sitting around the farm”. Last year his kids motivated him by saying , ::We think you have enough to have a shot at another Superbowl ". Some time after their traditional family vacation thru the 4th they will sit down . Like the other years . Being cleared at the 4 to6 week point means good progresswith healing , swelling and a lak of infection . This was a procedure not so much a surgery . If he is past the infection stage that is good news . He rides a bike 8 miles a day . Hs been doing it for a couple weeks now . I may have been wrong about placing a screw in to stabilize and increase dexterity . That too would be good news . The players doctors know his real ability level already . Chi & Det haave been preparing as if he’s back in their OTA’s . Hope they are ready for Gerhart and the other weapons .
I think folks in Green Bay (or Packer fans in general) knew he was coming back before last season ended.
What begins in fear usually ends in folly.
