lol karma is a b*tch have fun with this one =D

cardtrader - The king's name was Elvis and he has left the building.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a team bonding event, Sarah.

JCK: Sorry, but we're busy in the teen party hot tub.

Anybody up for a houseboat party?

timewas, it's too bad you don't know anything about the current Vikings roster. How many on the current roster have felonies against them, can you name one player on the Vikings roster with a felony? I bet you can't do it. The closest was McKinnie when he was charged with felony battery but NOT convicted. If you knew ANYTHING, the Vikings cleaned how big time after Red McCombs sold the team and got rid almost all the players with any criminal past (which weren't that many to begin with).
.
McKinnie didn't embarrass anyone but himself. If he doesn't want to play that's his deal. However, he should have at least let the team know.

timewas - don't forget Nick Barnett, Johnny Jolly, Cory Rodgers & Koren Robinson...and that's just within the last few years.

It sure was nice to see a Packer quarterback performing well at the Pro Bowl yesterday.

Good grief! This blog (and all those attacking Favre) is like a roundabout: going in a circle and getting nowhere.

Anymore? He never did! All he has ever cared about is himself.

You guys just can't let go. It's done, it's over, he doesn't care about you anymore.

who cares!

Same complaints; same complainers.

Who is this Brent Guy all you Packer backers are refering to? Are you all that stupid you forgot your King's Name.

Kurt Warner is doing it the right way. It's too late for Brent to do that.

Greatest QB ever? Yeah OK! Hes wasnt even the best QB playing in the league this year. Peyton Manning is twice the QB Brent ever was.

Just read a newsflash on another website that Brent was going to announce his retirement again and open a bakery near his hometown in Mississippi and specialize in turnovers....

The greatest QB ever and the bashing will never change that HAVE A NICE DAY.........................

All about perspective. You tolerated and even enjoyed his antics as your QB but now that he plays for a hated division rival, those very same antics are annoying as heck to many fans.

I wonder why we never heard the slams against Brett Favre when he was still the quarterback in Green Bay. I never heard him called a prima dona or diva then. Hmmm. I wonder why it's different now.

"Brent Favre signs with Arizona"
September 1 2010

Following another off season of "will he or won't he" Brent Favre announced today that he was signing with the Arizona Cardinals to replace the retired Kurt Warner. Favre who was granted his release by the Vikings after announcing is retierment then changing his mind four times will report just as the Cardinals break training camp next Monday. "Looking around, I have never been on a team with this type of overall talent" commented Brent. "This is the year and I am the guy." Minnesota who missed the chance to draft or sign a QB in the offseason then saw both of their returning QB hold out during the preseason demanding trades due to the instability of the Favre decision process was unavailable for comment.

In a related story, Las Vegas as set the odds of the Cardinals season ending on a heartbreaking interception as 1-5.

Favre left the Packers because he thought he had a better chance winning a SuperBowl some where else. 2 stops with 2 different teams, and what was the result? He was just selfish enough to think HE is the reason a team was successful. I am thankful for Bretts days as a Packer, but I am also thankful that Aaron is our man and it is laughable that a young rookie handled himself with grace and outshined a seasoned veteran......

Your name is Mike Hunt? Really? Mike Hunt? Hey Mike how many Super Bowl rings do you have? None. Losers should shut up.
-----------
uhhhhhh........ how many do you have Darwin1? none? Guess you to should shut up huh? Pretty ignorant comment you made. Its the guys JOB! Its hilarious how the blind Favre lovers cant handle the TRUTH! The guy(Favre) was a selfish jerk in GB, nothing has changed. Except now the Packers arent the one hes holding hostage with his look at me Im Brett Favre garbage. Hes not even the best QB in the game, Peyton makes Favre look like Jeff George.

Your name is Mike Hunt? Really? Mike Hunt? Hey Mike how many Super Bowl rings do you have? None. Losers should shut up.

justsaynotomath – It’s the Favre quotes that make it SO easy to make fun of him. Like this one "I'd love to win a Super Bowl. Who wouldn't?" he asked. He must have taken to many hits to the head because he apparently has forgotten that he already won one.

Sorry Curtaincall I've been around the block with the Vikings, it is no different than being lets say a Cubs Fan, been to the show before and have never won it so it is not that hard to take anymore. As far as Iamqueenb no I'm not bitter at the Vikings loss but I am confused by all the hate for one of the Packers Greatest Quarterbacks I guess I'm not from wisconsin so I will never understand fully. But I hold no hard feelings and I wish you well.

Wow, what an intelligent post justsynotomath. So your logic is that if someone doesnt have the same views as you they must be unemployed? Ignorance is bliss, and youre the happiest person on earth

Just my opinion. Of course he will be back. He does this every year. That way, he gets more attention. His primary reason for the delay is simply to avoid training camp. When will he not be back? He has a bad year, doesn't make the playoffs, and gets benched a couple of times.May not happen for at least 4 or 5 years. You heard it here first

Favre needs to look VERY hard at Kurt Warner. Now theres a class act, and a guy that can make a decision in a timely manner. Warner isnt the diva Favre is, he doesnt think he is bigger than football itself.

curtaincall: Payton is also a great quarterback, but he is not my favorite. His head coach, Jimmy Caldwell, is my top choice for that position however ... especially since we grew up together in Beloit. Again, although you don't agree, one can be both a Favre fan and a Packer fan. I am not the only one in that club either.

Jane doe retired after 25 years as a nurse and was enjoying her first summer off. Suddenly she realized she missed working, so she decided to take a job at mcdonalds. After working there for six months it got tobe to much so she gave notice and quite. Well another six months go by and she gets so bored and really misses working but she just can't do the long hours like she used to. So she applies at walmart tobe a greeter shorter hours easier work she loves it and has worked there ever since.I imagine Favre goes through this every year but on a much grander scale.So if you can't get enough of bashing Favre try a walmart greeter. Packer fan first Favre fan forever.

Packer fans will always have a passing interest in Favre because he had so many great seasons for them and won a championship. The Viking fans despised him for as long as he was a Packer and then many did an about face and welcomed him with open arms when he signed with them. Whether he plays one or two years with the Vikings, those fans will likely never feel as passionately about him as do Packer fans because of the history. Some Packer fans now dislike him or don't care but that will change when he retires and goes into the HOF wearing green and gold.

It would more than likely be the only two games the vikings would win. Now that would send those viking fans into a spin. Of course they are used to losing.

DiGriz - Good one! LMAO!

Yeah, he's a bread-and-butter coach that doesn't like to think outside the box. He was a good coordinator in Philly, but his skills as a head coach are lacking.

I have never cared for childress. He has never impressed me as a coach.

rodgersfan - unfortunately the Vikings owner is in love with Childress and won't fire him unless the Vikings completely miss the playoffs or have multiple bad seasons. They gave Childress a contract extension halfway through this season without seeing how it played out. Their defensive coordinator is near the top of the list for many teams seeking a head coach, and without Frazier, who knows how the defense will be next year. I almost wish the Vikings had a bad season just for the sake of getting Childress out of there.

I am actually a very happy Packer fan. We have a great QB who will be around for quite a while, we have a great young team who will only get better. We have a former QB great by the name of Brett Favre , who will retire a Packer . Life is good in Packer land.

curtaincall, you sound like another bitter Packers fan. Nowhere did I ever say that the Vikings backups are "great". I said they have 2 QBs behind Favre that have EXPERIENCE as starting QBs in the NFL. Read it, re-read it again, then maybe re-read it a third time and see if you finally comprehend what I was saying.

I wonder how long they will keep childress around without Favre? A meltdown in the playoffs and exit by Favre in the off season, will keep him on his toes this next year. He is so obnoxious. He deserves what ever he gets.

This author's parents apparently didn't like him much...

If your quarterbacks are so great?? They never would have gone after Favre. Plain and Simple. If they had any real confidence in their quarter backs they never would have gone after Favre. The fact is the quarterbacks you have are not that great, and they don't have that much confidence in them. Starting to hit you isn't it that he may not be coming back. If there was no drama, you would not be posting on here.

He was not the best..but when I think of a "football player" he was greatest!

What drama? Vikings fans don't have any drama dealing with Favre. Understand that we have 2 quarterbacks behind Favre who have started a significant number of games in the NFL. Whether Favre comes back or not makes no difference, even if he doesn't decide until after training camp.

sarahb, get on the Packer page. Rodgers is our guy now and you can either get on board or get off. During the colts game they made it clear if Payton stays healthy by the end of his career he will have broken Brett's records. Are you going to jump to his ship then?

Outside Wisconsin, Favre remains a favorite of the fans. Why else would his jerseys remain the top-sellers and his games pull in top ratings? I agree with cardtrader: Why do you Favre haters keep talking about him? P.S. I agree that Rodgers was a pleasant surprise this season. However, talk to me in another 15 or so years and then we can compare him with Favre.

cardtrader is jealous. He can only dream of what might have been.

8 Vikings were elected to the Pro-Bowl. 1 for sure (Brett) will not be there.

The funny thing about this whole Brett Favre story is Wisconsinites say now they dont have to worry about #4 anymore but what is this blog about ? #4 and glad we dont have to worry about his off field antics in retire oh not retire, it seems to me you cant get away from it no matter where he goes. Your all still worrying about BRETT! Please dont, he is not worried about you and what you think. And as a Minnesota Vikings Fan I sit back and enjoy reading all that is written, as far as Brett goes so goes Football ther is always someone waiting for the chance to play, or not.

after his butt kicking he took last week...the look on his wifes face....I think he is not wanting to but must before he gets killed

The only ones that seem to be obsessed with the "Favre drama" are the scorned Packer fans. Let it go already.

While they ponder Favre's retirement, Viking's fans get to watch 10 of their players in the Pro Bowl this weekend. I wonder if 12 will show up in the huddle :)

Good article. Nicely written.

No sense thinking about it until the second or third preseason game in September...only difference is that this year it may take him that long to heal after the way the Saints pounded him. All the posturing, press conferences and media speculation is moot until then. Meanwhile, Rodgers will be working with the team during the offseason, will be at spring camp, will be at OTAs, and will be at training camp hopefully improving every step of the way.

I am so happy and thankful we have Aaron Rodgers as our quarterback, through this whole Favre drama he has handled himself with alot of class. Maybe if Brett ever wakes up, he'll sign a one day contract with the Packers so he can retire a Packer as he should have done 2 years ago.
