The yo-yo soap opera that is Brett Favre's life
I honestly cant believe I am posting this, then again WTF?

Jay Glazer at ESPN is 'reporting' ( read: speculating) that several Vikings are saying ( read: wishing)that Favre is coming out of his 3rd ( is it?) retirement to play for the Vikes.

Glazer and Favre are both wankers and chain yankers

1. Oh I can believe it.
Favre wants to PLAY he just doesn't want to do training camp much. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up after the season begins...

19. So much for that.
This douche is going to play until he can't walk, isn't he?

3. I said before that Favre is like a cockroach.
He'll be playing this year. We're never going to be rid of him.

4. Favre can do whatver the hell he wants...
He served his purpose for the 1 season that he was on the Jets.

If it wasn't for Favre, the Jets likely would not have fired Mangini, would not have gotten rid of Chad Pennington, would not have hired Rex Ryan, and would not have drafted Mark Sanchez.

So...thanks Brett Favre!

5. Source: Favre Expected To Sign With Vikings Today
Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 10:22 AM by Poiuyt
A high-level source with the Minnesota Vikings tells WCCO-TV's Mark Rosen that quarterback Brett Favre is expected to sign with the team Tuesday.

Favre is on currently on his way to Minneapolis and is expected to sign with the team this afternoon, the source said.

WCCO-TV spoke with an official at the Hattiesburg, Miss., airport, who saw an airplane with the Vikings logo leave the airport Tuesday morning. The flight number for that plane has been blocked from tracking systems.

This clown is becoming more of a joke with each passing day.

6. Make it stop
He is such a douchebag. I'm sorry, but how many times can he say, I won't be back or I'm retiring??

7. He's very immature for his age
He's afraid to let go of the spotlight. Plus his stated reason for wanting to play for the Vikings (wanting vengeance against the Packers) is not a good reason to play in the NFL.

15. That was the Jets fault
They were stupid enough to get rid of our dear Chad. We love him here in South Florida and we thank the Jets everyday for their stupid move.

8. He'll do anything to avoid training camp, won't he?
I'm wondering what happens with his retirement paperwork, too.

Then again, not really...

9. For the love of god, would the Vikings just sign him already...
so Favre can get back to destroying his own legacy on the field and we won't have to listen to all this speculation about him coming back?

13. November 1. The day the streak ends
That is when Favre and the viqueens come to Lambeau. Favre will be a marked man. Look for Harris to pick him off and Kampmann or Barnett to grind him into the Lambeau turf.

16. No squirming
Except me squirming in my seat, waiting for the eight-man-blitz-every-play defensive strategy the Packers will be using that day.

18. Jumping for joy here
Childress and the Vikings are making a colossal mistake.

favre is a washed-up prima donna& so not a team player. his legacy in GB is toast, just like Childress' career.

the Vikes have taken choke to a whole new level.

Packers DE Kampman was quoted : Great, the red jersey comes off now
