All signs point to Favre returning
Alex Marvez, FOXSports.com


We all knew Brett Favre's self-described "itch" to play football again would eventually return following his retirement. For the second time in two years, it appears he's ready to scratch.

There were simply too many signs that emerged last week pointing to a Favre comeback:

•Favre was granted his release request by the New York Jets rather than remaining on the team's reserve/retired list. He issued a statement claiming "nothing has changed" and "at this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football." So why ask for your release? Plus, with his history of retirement flip-flopping, the use of "at this time" is particularly intriguing.

•Minnesota — the team that Favre wanted to play for in 2008 — is open to the possibility of signing him. Vikings coach Brad Childress said the team would discuss the subject after last weekend's minicamp. Vikings owner Zigi Wilf, who months ago said his club would have no interest in signing Favre, instead issued a "no comment" about the topic Saturday when asked by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

•The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that Favre has recently spoken with Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, a good friend from their days together in Green Bay.

•The Pioneer Press reported that Favre has hired a personal trainer (tending to his farm apparently isn't providing enough manual labor).

•Profootballtalk.com reported an unidentified plane flew from Minneapolis to Favre's hometown of Hattiesburg, Miss. the day after his release.

•New Orleans safety Darren Sharper, a former Packers teammate, told the NFL's web site that he believes Favre will try to play another season "because he's such a competitor and he still loves football."

He just won't go away. I guess this means Favre's ballsucker-in-chief Madden has to come back too.

Morning Report: The never-ending Favre saga

Well, it took only six days.

Pardon the cynicism, but I'm surprised it took that long.

Brett Favre - given his release by the New York Jets last Wednesday - apparently will meet this week with Vikings coach Brad Childress about playing for Minnesota.

The story was broken by ESPN.com, which cited a source with direct personal knowlege of the situation.

On his worst day, he is still entertaining.

I must say that this whole Favre thing is just getting ridiculous. And if he joins the Vikings, that would be a slap in the face to the fans more than it would be to Thompson. After all, we are the ones who cheered for him all these years, even when he threw stupid interceptions.
But then again, it may be fun to watch him try and force a pass into triple coverage and get picked off by Woodson or better yet, Al Harris.

First of all, it will piss off Packer fans which is a huge plus.

If he sucks, Childress, who is on the verge of losing his job, will certainly be fired and I HATE Childress for a plethora of reasons and that would be a plus.

If he does well, the plus is pretty obvious.

The Vikings don't need a great QB to do well next year. They need one a bit above average. Hell, he probably won't have to throw the ball more than about 25 times a game.

I've watched Favre since 1992 and believe me, 25 passes can yield three TD's, but also 3 ints. Favre does hold the all time record for interceptions thrown after all.
