Favre won't be a Viking!

Phone conversation Wednesday Night:
Favre: Hey Brad, I'd really like to come out of retirement and play for the Vikings.
Childress: Well, Brett, that's great. You will be competing against our two younger qb options for the starting job, but I will be fair. Also, we do expect our players to participate in our off-season conditioning programs and all of our mini-camps......
Favre: Ummmm.......I'll stay retired.

Well put. The Vikings don't want any part of this guy. Too many Favre lovers are choosing to remember Brett for what he was and not what he is. Yes he had a swan song in 2007, but his best days are far, far behind him. Couple that with the evidence that he is not a positive presence in the locker room, demanding special treatment, and isolation, and his opposition to offseason workouts, and Brett doesn't have much to hang his hat on.
Yes, I know that he has a Super Bowl ring. So do Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson. I'm not saying that Brett wasn't great once upon a time, but he is no longer that man. He needs to call it a career. The Vikes are immeasurably better without him.
Even if Favre had a good year with the Vikes, the next year it would have been Randall Cunningham all over again. Bringing in a past-his-prime QB for one year is not the answer, keep looking for a younger, long-term option.
Damn you Gary Anderson!!!
God, has that been 10 years already? I still remember like it was yesterday. How is the only field goal you miss all year the one that keeps you out of the Super Bowl? How?!
Favre will not play this year

I was in the mall of america that day. You could here a collective groan from the entire place with that field goal missed. Being a Vikings fan is like the football equivelant of being a Cubs fan in that, ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! :wink: But I can dream at least. :biglaugh:
Thanks Brett you made my Day, Id take first round and out over Brett Farve throwing 22 INTS and 20TDs
Yes Brett Favre can no longer play football
Signed,
2007 and the first half of 2008!
Some of you guys hatred for Favre is laughable. Even if you don't like him, that's fine, but he is still a top 10...if not better QB in the league. That is much better than what the Vikings currently have
And to anyone who thinks he is a bad teammate, he has about 18 years of history saying otherwise

To whatever stopped this from happening..THANK YOU. The bad part is it's far from over but the first bullet is dodged.
As any fan, thank God! He would have completely destroyed any legacy if he would have come out of retirement again.
