Brett Favre To Return to Vikings

[Punch]

Breaking news on Sportscenter:

Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Brett Favre will retire for the third time. Favre has not confirmed it, yet. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Favre has told many people associated with the Vikings that he will not be returning this season.

Here is an article.

EDIT - Brett Favre has arrived in Minnesota. Vikings' kicker Ryan Longwell says Favre has told him that he will play this year.

Favre himself could confirm that he's retiring and there's STILL a chance that he comes back. We've seen this movie before.

I understand that he could come back, but you never know. This news is shocking, nonetheless. All the major news networks, including ESPN, have been assuming that Favre would be returning. And now, he apparently is not.

Oh he's still going to play, let's not forget this is Favre we're talking about.

Unfortunately.

Eh, I haven't been watching the major networks enough to know what was their opinion on the matter, but I'll say this: The only way I'll truly believe that Favre is retiring is if on Thursday, September 9th 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Brett Favre will be in nearby Kiln, Mississippi watching it with his family...instead of on the sideline about to get walloped once again by the Saints' defense.

Sugar Ray Favre.

Exactly.

Hopefully this will forever end the Favre-fest on ESPN. I'm disappointed that an otherwise good team will now be going 8-8 under T-Jack, but losing this as an annual story will be a silver lining.

I just don't see Favre letting the absolute ass kicking he recieved from the Saints be his last game.

Don't get too excited. You never know if he'll come back or not. If he does, the Favre-fest will continue for awhile. But, of course, if he stays retired, we will finally get some rest from the ongoing Favre saga.

Farve's not getting any younger. The longer he drags his sorry a$$ out there, the greater the chances are that his last game will be a monumental disappointment. As of now he's going out with a loss to the eventual Super Bowl Champs in OT in the NFC title game. That's as good as it's going to get for St. Brett from this point on. If he's smart he'll take it and leave, taking all the drama he brings to the table with him.

So glad to be watching it from a little distance.

Wow, so he d1cked over

1. Brad Childress and all of the Vikings fans because they certainly would have made a move for Donovan McNabb had they known,

2. The Eagles, who would probably have gotten more out of the Vikings than they did from Washington (or at least would have had more of a bidding war going on),

3. Donovan McNabb, who is in freaking Washington with a crap team and a crap organization.

Don't expect McNabb to go looking for an extension with Washington now, since he'll likely be the Vikings QB in '11 as a FA.

And THAT is the power of St. Brett.

Let's not kid ourselves.

"The Ankle is not responding" only means "I really don't want to do 2-A-Days and I'll show up August 31st."

What makes you think he would be telling the truth this time? He's lied countless times before.
