AWESOME!!!!!! from yahoo:I'm sure there are a lot of Vikings fans out there who would love to see Brett Favre(notes) put on the purple and yellow, but Fran Tarkenton isn't one of them. If it does eventually happen, you won't see Tarkenton showing up at Favre's door in Minnesota with a freshly-baked apple pie to welcome him.Tarkenton was on 790 the Zone in Atlanta yesterday and talked about the Brett Favre's "I'm retired, wait, no I'm not" bit.“I think it’s despicable. What he put the Packers through last year was not good. Here’s an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn’t about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre’s of the world so much, they think it’s about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He’s 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year (playing for) the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers. I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail.”Wow. That's a Limbaugh-on-Obama level of hatred right there. And Tarkenton wasn't much more complimentary of Favre as a football player, either.“I think he has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I’ve ever seen. Look at his final game in a Packers uniform. He blew that game against the Giants. He’s playing against Eli Manning(notes), I love Eli Manning, but he’s still not a great quarterback. He’s not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady(notes). He’s just a guy. And they’re (Packers) are playing at home, and they’re in a tight situation, they went to overtime and he (Favre) throws the interception that allows them (the Giants) to come back and win the game. He has done that and driven his coaches crazy all of his career.”

I agree with every word.

I can't take it anymore. This story is like a god damn vampire...it just will not die.

[CaneBrain]

and it is official. Favre is back. What a jopke.I hope he stinks and gets benched for Sage Rosenfels.....that would be a fitting end to his end of career bullcrap.

Yeah, I would be pretty pissed if I was some no-name trying to earn a roster spot and had been working my ass off during training camp. Just come out and say you want to sign but don't want to go through training camp instead of playing those media games about whether your retired or not. Everyone knows Brett knew full well his intentions and so did the Vikings front office more than likely. I just think its shitty for the no-name guys out there busting their ass trying to make it.I used to kind of like Favre but over the last few years of this BS, I'm kind of sick of "the ole gunslinger".

Don't know why anyone's surprised. He's been doing this to Packers fans for 4 years now.

yeah. Favre has reached the "George Foreman" stage of his career. Whatever he says about retiring or un-retiring just ignore it. You can't believe anything he says about the subject.I think Minnesota is making a huge mistake....Rosenfels would be better for them. Favre looked awful last year down the stretch. Not "bad for Favre" but bad for anyone. He killed the Jets at the end of the season. Just killed them. He will have a lot to work with in Minnesota though.

Minnesota, IMO, needs a game manager. Someone who just hands the ball off to their stable of running backs, doesn't turn the ball over and generally just makes good decisions and tosses for 180-225 a game. Favre is not that guy.

I agree. He will chaff (chafe?) against the role that makes the Vikings best (QB = game-manager) whereas Sage would have been thrilled to hand the ball off most of the game. Plus, the best part about having a great running game (which the Vikes obviously do) is that you can take advantage by throwing downfield off play action. Can Favre make teams pay down the field in December? Maybe in a dome....but his arm was basically falling off during the season finale last year. The dolphins played a very blah sort of game and Favre handed them the W.

I hate Brett Favre. And I've been a Packers fan all my life. I hated him when he pulled this retirement crap for the last several years, and now, the tip of the iceberg. I was glad his ass was sent to the Jets, and glad he failed there. Favre has no intentions of trying to win a Super Bowl. Just wants two chances to f*** with Ted Thompson and every GB fan.And ESPN will treat November 1st bigger than the Super Bowl, guaranteed. To be honest, I'm giddy because I expect him to bomb, and to be embarrassed when he returns to Lambeau.

lol @ all the self-ownage in this thread...i love how everyone in here ignores the fact he played injured the last half of the jets season.old washed up favre and his stats for 2009:passer rating: 107.2yards: 4,202td's: 33int: 768% cmpoh, and practiclly lead the team to the SB...insanne enviorment at the metrodome...fumble after fumble...blown call after blown call....everything possible that could be going against the vikes happening, and yet here is favre leading the final drive...tie game, 4th quarter, minute and a half to go, 1st and 10 in FG range, and here comes another miracle to bail out the saints...too many men on the field?????? favre was one 5 yard penalty away from the SB...bottom line, the vikings were the best team last season...favre was the best QB last season...the vikings wouldve destroyed the saints on a neutral filed...it took home filed, boatload of fumbles, crooked refs, a bizzare penalty at the worst time and a coin flip to beat the vikes...but thats ooooooookkkkkkkkkk...because hes comming back...hes GOING TO TAKE WHATS HIS...and he will shut every single haters mouth up while they watch him lift the SB MVP trophy...its going to be SEXUALbuckle up boys and girls, FAVREAGEDDON is upon us...aint nothing anyone can do to stop it...oh, in case anyone wants to say the game was reffed fairly.....

[SBriand]

I vaguely remember the game and all I can remember is that he had a chance to go to the SB regardless of the alleged crappy call but instead threw his patented INT. I could be wrong. But I know one thing for sure, I could care less if he plays or not and I don't care who he plays for.
