Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

More Training Camp News. Yeah, that too

The news about Brett Favre really made things interesting around here yesterday, no?  Although Favre playing (or not playing, who really knows) will have a major impact on the Vikings for 2010, there were some other developments at training camp yesterday.  Right now, the reason the offense is getting outperformed by the defense is because besides Favre, Sidney Rice and Adrian Peterson are out with injuries, and Percy Harvin is still attending to matters over a death in the family.  Let's get right to it, to include the Favre reaction.

Star-divide

SBN Minnesota has an almost minute by minute recap of the fluid Favre situation, to include a good recap at the end of the day.

Tom Pelissero gives a great synopsis of the on the field stuff from Tusday.  Highlights:  AP is still limited by injuries but insists he'll be fine, and Sage Rosenfels has his best day at camp.

Judd Zulgad of the Strib says the Vikes are offering up to $7 million more for Favre to play in 2010.  There is no truth to the rumor that Zulgad gets a percentage of any Favre raise, since he broke the story and all.  I kid, I kid.

Jim Souhan doesn't like this whole Favre mess.  No siree, Bob.  And he says so in his usual, flowery prose.  I wonder where he got the term 'Favregeddon'...

Amid all the Favre hoopla, Tarvaris Jackson--potential starting QB for the Vikings--keeps it all in perspective.  That which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, TJ.

Now, some National Reaction. 

First, Alex Marvez of Fox Sports gives us the 'Winners aand Losers'

Mark Kriegel of Foz Sports is his typical sanctimonious self.

What would a Brett Favre retirement story be without reaction from Peter King?

Finally, Pete Prisco of CBS Sports thinksFavre is selfish

Even without the Favre story, there's a lot going on in Mankato.  Harvin should be back soon, EJ Henderson is still only practicing once a day (but the fact that he's practicing is remarkable), Jamarca Sanford is pushing Tyrell Johnson for a starting job, and Adrian Peterson has 'tightness' in his leg. 

We'll be updating throughout the day here and at SBN Minnesota, so check us out early and often.

If farve doesnt come back?

I dont know about you guys but I wont accept that. I wanted that first game as a measuring stick so we would all know for sure who was going to be the better team going in to this season with no questions asked. I seriously hope farve gets better and comes back because beating that t-suck guy yall call a qb on sep. 9 just wont cut it. So I want to hear some SKOL in here and you guys go get your savior so we can do this one last time for all the bragging rights. Or you could have just drafted a qb in the draft who knows?

Give me specific examples based on yesterday when Favre was craving attention

After you finally decide that you don’t have any examples, you will see that it is the media that runs with every phantom “source” that they can find to get viewers.

I mean did you witness how crazy they went yesterday? I was just laughing at the screen it was so stupid.

ESPN interrupted normal programming to have a Favre special on ESPN 2.

Well, for whatever it’s worth Shiancoe did confirm in an interview that the texts Favre sent were supposedly true.

by packallday555 on Aug 4, 2010 3:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

So Brett texting a teammate means that he's trying to get attention?

If you agree that the answer is no, then give me just one example.

KC612 what does your question have to do with anything that we’re talking about right now?

by dsludo on Aug 4, 2010 3:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

I guess it depends on your view of him. Why else would he text a teammate, and then later deny it to Ed Werner when asked in person? I’m not too sure I guess.

by packallday555 on Aug 4, 2010 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

He didn't deny that he texted teammates

he denied that he texted them that he was done. Whichever Viking leaked this to the media is dumb. (if in fact that is what happened)

The whole point is curious george up there was implying that Favre somehow planned this all so that he could get attention. Which I see no evidence to suggest.

by dsludo on Aug 4, 2010 5:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

Maybe he wasn’t craving it but he surely knows by now that a media outburst would come from it.

by packallday555 on Aug 4, 2010 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Who doesn't like attention?

But there’s a world of difference between that, and being a media whore. I leave that latter label for all the writers who try to climb on Favre’s back to get readership hits by spinning things into an unnecessary drama where, quite honestly, none exists. Everyone in the world knows Favre’s situation, the man was injured, he had surgery, and he’s not sure if he’s up to being pounded into the turf for another year but he’ll let the team know in the pre-season. He’s said nothing more, that’s it.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

Yeah,

Brett is far from being a media whore. I save that label for people like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

This is how Favre will end his career
