The Favreover Comes To Life
Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him. Favre is reportedly on his way back to Minnesota, after a visit by Hutch, Jared Allen, and Ryan Longwell.
Our long national nightmare is now over.
Update: Tedy Bruschi is kind of a douche about it all, too. WAAAAAA!! WAAAAA!! Blueprint is to illegally hit! WAAAAAAA!!

Doesn’t anybody besides me think that is pathetic? Or is this just some grand drama to generate interest and subsequent sales for the Vikings?

LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!
For all the "Complainers"
I find Favre’s ‘waffling’ sort of fun.. It’s like watching a movie… We all have an idea on how it will play out, generally ending with a happy ending….. etc. etc. We just do not know what the road will be like to that happy ending..
In this particular case, we do not know where, how, or when favre will return, but we know the happy ending is him returning…
But this is only part 1… Part two, needs to play out with us in Dallas… Coming away w/ a Victory!
I agree
But wait…do you hear that?
It sounds like the trolls are on there way to provide us with their lame view points.

fyi, not a Saints or Vikings fan, not even rooting for the Saints over the Vikings, but to insult the city of New Orleans and insinuate negatives about the people there is just a shitty thing to do, especially after what the place has gone through.

I find that offensive, sorry.
I know everyone here loves football, but saying “who really cares what happened to them” is just a stupid, ignorant thing to say, and the only reason you say is it because you want to beat the Saints. That’s fine, but please don’t disparage the city of New Orleans. Yeah, shit happens everywhere, but you didn’t hear me say anything bad about Colfax, Iowa. Just because you yourself weren’t in that situation yourself doesn’t mean you get to pretend it didn’t happen.
Whatever, I read your signature, I know I’m not going to change your mind.

i'm simply saying that it happened five years
ago. i’m not saying what happened to them wasn’t a shit deal that would really ruin one’s weekend, but it’s time to move on. i don’t have a problem with the city, state region or people, i’m just tired of hearing about it when there are really bad things happening now, and we’re still talking about katrina. it gets old, real quick.

Natural disasters happen every where. And yeah they suck
No one is arguing that. However when the mississippi flooded out (as it does every couple of years or so) my uncle lost just about everything. Many people from the town lost it all. As it was flood damage most of them didn’t have insurance that covered it. FEMA came out to help which was pathetically slow and nto very helpful. He never did get back his house, or precious items. Basically that whole section of his life is just gone. I think it made about 10 minutes on the news?
Hey bad things happen, you got to get over it.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
at no point did i disagree with you that other places have shit happen to them too.
but the fact is, new orleans still hasn’t recovered, and more than a thousand people died there. i’m not trying to say that one tragedy trumps the other, but its still a very real problem.

Not to sound cold, but
if I don’t like living in below freezing temps half the year I should move….right?

do you think everyone who lives in an inner city environment can afford to move? of course not, that’s just the reality of the situation.

Truthfully,
I don’t really care either way, i am just looking forward to the non-stop barrage of news every time he sneezes and the debate as to whether or not that sneeze meant he was retiring or not retiring or his nose was itchy or he has an allergy.
I just want to see some football!
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell
We're all sick of the media...
But the Saints proved to be just as annoying in the news last year with the “our recovery isn’t complete until we win a SB” (which is really what they were dealing).
Then the Saints go out and play dirty…I have no sympathy for the team anymore. I want them injured from week 1.

Patriot's Bruschi is an Idiot!!!!
saying he has no respect for the Vikings because they begged to get Favre back? I wouldn’t call it begging, Favre is Favre (he’s never made up his mind, even before MN). Bruschi is jealous the Patriots aren’t begging him to be playing right now!!!!
Oh, shucks
We actually appreciate our QB and want him back to play. I imagine if Brady had decided to retire after that 16-0 season, several Pats players would’ve been trying their hardest to get him to come back too. Same with Peyton Manning. So Bruschi can suck a big one.

Unfortunately we don't have any choice
Through crappy coaching we don’t have a back up QB. We have TJ, who many have pinned a lot of hope on, but honestly if we want a chance at a deep run in the play offs Favre is pretty much our only option. We could have done many things in this offseason (hire McNabb) but we didn’t so now we are bent over the Favre barrel. Am I glad he’s playing again? Sure, do I like what he’s doing? Not so much.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
What is he doing that you don't approve of, Grime?
Wanting to make sure his ankle is healed enough to allow him to play a full season? As a Vikes fan you should appreciate this. He just wants to make sure he can be all in.
Actually, I dont' like how he did it.
And you can castigate me if you want, but it is my opinion. I understand he is flighty. I recognize that. Hell I know people like that, doesn’t mean I like it when they do it though. He needed to make a decision and honestly he had a lot of people depending on it. Many people stated that he could come back whenever he wanted to. He didn’t do anything because he wanted to chill out at his house instead of heading up to Mankato. Now realistically if he had said he was in a month ago and gone to camp how much do you think he’d have to actually do in camp?
I’m glad he’s playing but I’m not exactly thilled how he’s acting. And I really don’t like the fact that we have no recourse to this buy TJ.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Agree with you about Favre.
I don’t care that he missed camp but it would’ve been nice to hear an answer earlier. Something along the line of “I’ll come back and play as long as my ankle rehab goes well.” That would’ve given him an easy out and avoided almost all of the media hoopla and helped his waffling image quite a bit too. Anyway, it’s a moot point now as he’s back and you don’t have to worry about TJ being anything other than a solid backup for us until next year : )

Yawn...
Am I the only one who barely considers this newsworthy? Assuming today’s Favre scoop is more accurate than this prior one: http://www.dailynorseman.com/2010/8/3/1602765/breaking-news-favre-calling-it#comments
I’m not indifferent about the fact that Favre will be playing QB for the Vikings this season; that is good news. Rather, I’m unsurprised that Favre strung it out until now. I thought he would wait another week, but otherwise I expected this to happen.
He avoided training camp and two-a-days, he avoided the first meaningless pre-season game, and he probably got a whole lot more money from the Vikings. Good for Favre. He also got a lot of media attention, which, let’s face it, is mother’s milk to Favre.
Unlike last year, where I wrongly thought Favre would bring all kinds of problems to the Vikings, I am glad he is (apparently) coming back to Minnesota this season.
Like last year, I am glad I didn’t get too deeply wrapped up in the Annual Favre Summer Drama.

Sage to Chicago seems like a good fit. I think Hanie is out unless his injury turned out to be less severe than it looked at the time.

Could use a QB to back-up Eli, for just-in-case issues.
That, and MN has a history of sending QBs to NY.
Okay, well only 1 that I can think of, but he came back!

That's my point
I would of gone believing “everything” said, when in-deed it was not true.
Thankfully, SBNation (actually the DailyNorseman) reminded me that it was too early to tell.. And they pointed out there was no clear sources, names, etc at the given time.
So, in theory, it sounded like a lie to start a story. Didn’t it happen on a Tuesday? I swear, the most controversial stories happen on Tuesdays….. The one’s that seem maybe not true….. I’m just going to go out on a limb and call Tuesday a SLOW NEWS DAY. I know I’ve said this before, prior to the Favre fiasco, that Tuesdays must be a slow news day.
I think CNN posts their drama articles on Tuesday as well.
ESPN still speculating
They are still trying to figure out what this means! Seriously ESPN, it’s over. You have to let it go now. Speculate on something else.
On a more realistic note :
School must start soon for Brett’s youngest daughter . It’s good to see he will have her there for her first day of class . I certainly hope she doesn’t kick and scream as bad as Dad . When it is time to get back to class . Against popular opinion . Summer is over . It’s time to move ahead into another Fall session .

Not until right around September 9.
After we leave N’awlins with a 1-0 record to start the 2010 season, we’ll probably quiet down a bit about the illegal hits.
(Important note: I didn’t say “we’ll get revenge” because you can’t get revenge for losing an NFC Championship game in Week 1. Remember that fellow Viking fans!)

Wins before losses, my friend. There is a reason they classify a undefeated season as 16-0 and not 0-16. So a 1-0 record after leaving N’awlins would mean that the Saints did not win. They have been recording wins and losses like this for a long time. In lots of different sports.
I see his lame attempt
To suggest you’re “Leaving them with it” as if you were “leaving them a jelly donut.” Cute.

But you gotta put context

Okay, my last comment on Bruschi
Let’s flip this around, and say Tom Brady were waffling about coming back while TB was playing. Would Bruschi go to Brady’s house and ask him to come back if that was all it took, and increased your chances from winning a SB from 25-1 to 4-1?
Yeah, he would. And he’d drive. And according to Bruschi GB is ‘the class’ of the NFC North? Really? Really?

But I will embrace the underdog role everytime . 34-7 last time if I can recall . Fresh legs is the key to start the year . Brad gave us that with this years mysterious injuries . The lack of injuries will be key after the Bye Week . If all is good after Halloween night ? Watch out ! The Force will be with us . And the Rebels will have a free run . All the way to Dallas"s Death star .
i've slightly been..
feeling the same way… these 1st stringers out w/ injuries? I wonder if it isn’t necessarily true…
I bet, now that Favre has returned, maybe harvin, shank, and rice will start to get in rythym with brett, while everyone is left in the dark.
You guys definitely have it good
but I would caution you against being too cocky. And definitely don’t judge teams by pre-season records, that’s an easy way to make oversights.
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
Yeah, just ask Green Bay
"Whoever said that the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons."
I don't think we can be to cocky
Favre is a year older comign off one of the best seasons he’s ever had. I think the chances of him repeating that 100% are pretty slim. Now I do expect him to still kick some serious butt though.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
I wonder if Brew-Ski wants to take any bets on his forecast that Favre won’t last?
Does he know Brett has played in 300 straight games?
As for his blueprint to get the QB by constant hard hits, that only works on guys like Tom Brady.
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Brewski's a dick.
said it before and i’ll say it again. i remember he hit Favre as a Packer with a late hit while Favre was ON THE GROUND. Teddy’s a douche. so if everyone else who deals in what if’s, could have’s and any other scenario other than FACt. everyone’s got opinions. fine. keep them to yourself unless YOU KNOW the FACTS. and not many people do.
SKOL FAVRE! SKOL VIKINGS!
I can't believe that DET , CHI and GB sites haven't realized that Brett is back in Minnie .
Wow !! I imagine that more Viking fans will get banned from Green Bay sites in the next few days than ever in the history of Blogging !!! Oops GB won’t touch me since I tapped out all their Virgins ? I just might have to stop over at the Windy City to officially get my booting . Their Editors fear my views so much that I won’t get a word in . Detroit probably doesn’t care either way .
GB , CHI , DET , OLines here we come . It won’t be a Brett show they need to fear ! It’s the next coming of the Purple People Eaters . Brett’s long drives only slow down the " D " . But a well rested “D” creates havoc !!!! Just ask GB in their big games as they clearly were winded ……
We (at WCG) realize it, but there have been some requests...
…to confine the Favre talk to the Daily Norseman, partly so it’s all conveniently located in one spot, and partly because some people request relief from endless speculation about another team’s player (fair enough).
I think the “will he or won’t he?” stuff belongs here, and when all the dust settles, a “what does this mean for the Bears?” discussion will be appropriate there.
That said, personally, I am desperate for every morsel of Favre gossip, so here I am at Daily Norseman.
"What I’m trying to say is that Lovie is an idiot. Let’s not forget this." --celerysalt, WCG commenter
Good Points
I realize there really is no need for much Favre talk over there.
As long as any Bear fan is aware of it, probably all that matters.
It would be like, if Jay Cutler were to get injured.. Some of us would talk about it, but it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. If you signed a HOF QB, we would potentially have a little more fear.. But we would embrace the game in hoping we would become the victors!

I genuinely am not familiar with the incident you’re talking about. I’m sorry if someone at WCG chased you down to DN and gave you crap for something you said here (which is what I think you’re saying??). The only warnings you should receive here are from DN editors, IMHO.
I’d like to hope we all have enough sense of humor for some good-natured smack talk. (Although I’ve seen enough out-of-control deathwish stuff on SB Nation to know it’s not universal.)
"What I’m trying to say is that Lovie is an idiot. Let’s not forget this." --celerysalt, WCG commenter
Someone ? It was three Editors all at once . Two I never heard of before .
My real point is ….. Amimosity works in the off-season . But during the regular season we at DN want to hear other opposing team views and opinions . But constant bashing and seperate rules for regulars and the enemy is not professional . And makes the trip to other sites un appealing . I went to Canal today and razzed a bit . They saw it as humor . A confident winning program can feel confident . Why does the lack of success have to limit those team sites ability to interact with others . We are not children here as a whole . Why have childish rules held down by childish Editors .
When I came to DN I criticized this site to hell and back . Then some of the wise words of Grimes , LLV and even 555 showed the darker side to the issues . So many dedicated and passionate fans have to learn to tolerate the bullying ways and CLICKSTER mentality on there own sites as well as opposing ones . Sad .
Yes the death stuff can’t be tolerated in a time when our Great Country is at war . We at DN respect that part of Gonzo’s life . And embrace his values and firm views on the subject . I hope that most would give an Amen on that point . It isn’t a perfect world . And all successful sites have to deal with their ghettos like APC and WCG . I have hope for the Bears . The teams they upset can change the playoff picture for us . Just as their split with us killed are ability to control our destiny last year . Cutler will be good . Did you catch his Peyton-like happy feet during his two passes in SD . With an improved OL he will be good . They need to draft OL next year to secure his future .

But i have to admit, it felt pretty sweet. A consolation prize for an otherwise dismal season. And he did win against the Favre-as-Pack a time or two, but c’mon, honestly he hasn’t changed the gameplan since.

His statement was, that the media was to blame for most of the stuff we hear…. But, he said you could tell the certainty in the players expressions of his return, but… never out-right said it.. Like there was a gag-order on the issue or something… Who knows…

Bruschi is a clown !!!
Remember every year the Patriots fell apart . They got on the phone and begged Teddy to play . And play hurt if necessary . Wow . He has the nerve to question three guys who are allowed to skip camp to fly out on a private jet to escourt their Captain back . All Bruschi can say is to hit him with or without the ball . The NFL has that goal in theory every year . If Teddy is so good maybe he should strap on the pads for week #8 . ESPN and the East Coast love to love themselves . The dominating O & D that the Vikes demonstrated in New Orleans gives a lot more playing film then a few late hits , cheap shots and poor officiating .
Let’s hope that the real class act in New Orleans this year is a vastly improved Officiatng Crew . Why do we have instant replay if they aren’t going to watch the replay . I hope GB gets Dallas in the playoffs . Then they canexperience the Roger Godell shuffle . Instead it will be GB in New Orleans . And 555 will be taking the day off again as usual . Unless by some miracle . Oh wait only Pack diehards think crazy ???

Gunning for Favre and hate for a 12-4 team
Also, Iam worried about favre and pass protection after Saints hit favre with so many cheap shot.. I am worried that everybody will be gunning after favre. If they do that, Loadholt, Mckinnie better give some cheapshots as well to the opposing defense.. shhitt when we play the saints I want to see the o-line dive at their knees, elbow them in face if they take cheapshots with favre.
Bruschi said that the blueprint to beat favre, illegal low hits
Madden Curse, lets end Brees career early, I want to see some rotator cuff surgery, the new chad pennington.
I cant beleive all the hate thats coming from everywhere its ridiculous. The organization stooping so low for a player, vikings are gonna be a wildcard team, green bay is amazing. favre can’t last a whole season.
it Seems like everyteam is better than us…i cant wait its just gonna be like the dallas game, were make em put up and shut up
Its do or die lets do this
Hog Wash !!!!!!
Brett had great protection in all but two games . Peppers was Brad’s fault . New Orleans was the officials and illegal hits and cheap shots the officials chose not to stop . We will be fine . A power run attack will help with that issue . Bienemy has been given the greenlight to up the carries this year . Watch and learn in the first half of the season .
by gothicpurple on Aug 17, 2010 8:37 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah the officials probably let alot of those cheap hits go
because not only is it the playoffs, and they wanted to ‘just let them play,’ but it was the NFC CG, which only added to the pressure of wanting the refs to be seen and not heard.
Wouldn't surprise me....
Which would also mean… That I be we see a flag whipping frenzy on Thurs. w/ both sides accountable….
Because everyone knows that they’ll be watching very long & hard at each move, play.
The team KICKER confirms that BRETT FARVE is officially back !!! Yaaaaa. What no parade . No Diva . No major ESPN interview . No Lebron show .
Should I feel slighted . Naaaah .Sept. 9th is good enough for me for now ???
Maybe we will see
Lets see how much AD has learned from Eric Bienemy. With favre arent we a passing team? I mean just like Brushci said people are just gonna send blitz packages and rough up favre.. lower chances for AD and More oppurtunities to hit favre. Hopefully the refs being in the backfield will be able to negate the hits, with penalties.
Our pass protection is good but if injuries happen, it we will be like the end of last year. Mckinnie had foot problem and hutchinson banged up near the end of the year. We can actually use the N.O. game to actually beat the blitz packages. lots of 3 step drops, pound it out. We will see how we approach the New Orleans Game. Thats gonna the the determinant on how our season goes.

that’s funny.. Really is, ok here’s my answer, because God loves us. REALLY loves us…
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
I wouldn't worry about Favre getting hit illegally.
I did see a reference to The Longest Yard and could actually see that in week one with the refs getting knocked out one by one. Now, Favre has always taken cheap shots. Most stars do. The Saints are not the first team to do it. Now, alot of you are saying (in essence) that we need to run the ball more and eliminate the shots that Favre takes. Trust me, he will still get hit even if he is handing it off. I mean do you think they would stop just because he is handing off? No, what I see happening is Favre throwing 40 to 50 times and picking that overrated defense apart. After what happened in the NFCCG, the NFL will not be able to take another illegal hit controversy if they want an expanded regular season. If they have defenses playing kamikaze football, more people will get hurt and they can’t risk Brady, Manning, Brees, Favre or any other big name player getting hurt if they want an 18 game season. Just my take on it

The NFL was embarassed by their poor officiating .
I’m sure warnings were issued after Gregg’s poor decision to claim they would target Brett . Your fans were embarassed on your site for it . And the Country shows it’s view by listing your team as a second place team in your own conference. Third if Smith didn’t break the arm .

Let's just get one thing straight
Jared Allen does not beg ANYONE for ANYTHING
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Jared Allen is so tough
he stabbed a man to death with a bowling ball.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Farve is a fucking loser!
What a joke! Begging assholes!

Question
Hey saints fan here…..I wanted to say congrats on getting farve back. If I was a vikings fan I would be excited too. I have followed this site since the NFC championship game. many vikings fan say the saints beating the vikings was pure luck and the best team lost. I have watched the game numerous times and I just dont see the “so called” cheap shots you guys are so angry about but understand that I am looking through black and gold glasses. Also if the vikings were the better team why was your ball control so horrible? that is not a characteristic of a good team. If the vikings were the best team why did they lose? I do not mean anything rude and I am trying to start name calling and childish commentry…I truley dont understand the hate…..I am not looking to insult anyone….I really have been wanting to ask this for months…from one fan to another,,,,,i was a victim of Hurrican katrina but I am tired of hearing about it. However people died and it was bad and vikings fan trash new orleans every chance they get….I still respect you guys any way I really hope the vikings win a superbowl so after all Farve is putting you through…..

Favre was hit late numerous times in the game which is part of the game in my opinion. If I recall correctly two hits were flagged as unnecessary roughness and the most blatant late hit was a high-low hit that the NFL admitted should have been flagged and resulted in Favre’s first interception. That last hit also sent Favre to the sideline and hampered him for the rest of the game. Add in some of Gregg Williams and Sharper’s later comments about targeting Favre and other QBs and those hits become deliberate acts rather than just part of the game. Perhaps if Saints players and coaches kept their mouths shut they would’ve avoided the “cheap shot” label.
You are correct that our ball protection was incredibly bad and uncharacteristic of how the team played all year. The reasons most of believe the Vikings were a better team is that we made it to OT despite 5 turnovers and moved the ball at will against your defense. Also the OT period had four or five reviews and two penalties called against our defense. Obviously every call the refs made in OT wasn’t wrong but several could easily have gone our way but none did. I’m not saying the refs gave you the game but OT was poorly officiated to the point that the NFL decided to change it’s own rules.
I won’t trash New Orleans or it’s people but sometimes trash-talk devolves to petty insults when sports are involved. This is stupid behavior from any fans. The Saints are a good team but the Vikings stupid mistakes combined with some poor reffing had more to do with the outcome of the game than anything the Saints did. Basically we were the more talented team but the Saints avoided the big mistakes and got some favorable calls. Your team won but it’s pretty easy to see that there were multiple times in the game where we threw away points that would have made the outcome different.

There is no Saints/Vikings rivalry--or at best it is week 1 and then,
if both teams match-up again in playoffs, so, all the hate is very unnecessary; our players/fans need to save it for the Panthers/Falcons/Bucs and your players/fans need to save it for the Packers/Bears/Lions. I’m a Saints fan and a Farve fan, so I hope The Saints win any games against Vikings, but hope Farve plays well. The past is the past—our win last year is the same as the (44 – 10) thumping y’all put on us back in 87— and in Week 1, the best team will win as the best team always wins—if we cannot win it all, I hope you can. I hate The Packers, so, please put a hurting on AR (mouthy young punk) and sweep them again and beat them again if you see them in playoffs.
