NFL: Favre to Retire
- Thread starter pyrocyz
- Start date
Maybe instead of having surgery/second thoughts just to skip training camp, he just wants to do this and skip the regular season... sign in week 14, get a couple of warm up games in, then save himself for the playoffs.
Sounds like Vikings fans are in denial:biglaugh:
But dude, if he saves his body in anticipation of that moment, it'll be an awesome laser-rocket arm INT.
Last time I checked, Favre was not embarrassing himself on the field. Seems to me he played pretty decently, last year. And since when has the NFL cared about how star players end their careers? See Dan Marino, Emmit Smith, etc. Out with a whimper.
Not really. If he walks, he walks. 10-6, here we come.
But A) it's Twitter, and B) look at past history. I'm not buying it yet.
Reports: Brett Favre tells Minnesota Vikings he will retire - ESPN
It's Twitter, the Star Tribune, and the Associated Press
It may be twitter but when you hear Jay Glazer say that he has been sitting on this for 12 hours so that he could get a third source, I believe it.
Dan Patrick.com
Yes, And last year he made an "official statement" that he was going to stay retired. That lasted until the end of training camp. No one is living in denial, just looking at his past history. I'm not holding my breath either way.
Can't wait for the Chilly/TJax love affair to begin.
Here's to our defense keeping us above .500 to lose in the first round every year.

Well, 10-6, here we come.
I just hope Sage gets a shot, which he won't. I think he's a more than capable QB to run this offense, but apparently T-Jack spends more time slurping.

LOL.
I'll believe it when I see it - hard to turn down $12M+ even if you are loaded. I could honestly see him coming back after week 4 or something crazy like that.
If it's officially official, then the "what-if's" about not signing McNabb will be the next big story surrounding the Purple.
I don't follow any one NFL team, but the circus of the vikings makes living in big10 country easier to swallow. There are not many days when I don't hear a soundbyte or fan over-reaction on the drive-time radio that makes me chuckle. This will be an epic week if this is officially official.
