I’m practically rooting for the Vikings to win the Super Bowl, just to get rid of the guy. (I would assume he’s not so stupid as to not take the opportunity to retire a winner, like Elway. Then again, Elway came back one more year and repeated before retiring for good.)
I’ve never had anything against the Vikings, but i’m now rooting for them to go 0-16, and for the offensive line to collapse every game so that Favre ends up crushed on the ground time after time.
He did a year with the Jets because that was where the Packers could dump him. He signed with the Vikings to kick GB in the teeth.
Which is weird beyond belief when you go to Lambeau field and wander through the Packer Hall of Fame. There are (or were last year 
) cases and exhibits waiting to be filled.
He’s already said he’ll go into the HOF as a Packer (as he should). I think by the time he actually goes in, the Green Bay fans will be ready to welcome him back. His grudge is against the management, not the fans.
I’m taking all bets. Whoever’s closest to the actual date and time of his arrival at training camp next year wins the jackpot. Over/under is the third day after the first pre-season game. Pick your reason; “sprained wrist” is at 8-1, “more time fishing” is 14-1, and “after the arraignment” is seeing a lot of action at 5-2.
I’m not really taking all bets.
Diognes:
Did anyone check his hands for crossed fingers? Did they make him say “no backsies” on camera?
Cite?
It’s like Groundhog Day. Favre has to keep playing his career ending game over and over until he can do it without throwing a pick that costs his team the game.
Compared to his previous performances of Hamlet, this one was relatively smooth…EXCEPT for the blue-ribbon delegation that flew to Mississippi to spake unto the Favre. Don’t they have phones?
Which is odd, because the pro football Hall has only bronze busts of its members, not including any uniform parts. The official index includes all teams its members were associated with.
Or is he going to try retiring from baseball too?
In Mississippi? Really, you have to ask?
If take “sometime” to mean “any moment before the thermodynamic death of the universe” I agree.
Worse, he’s going to unretire from baseball and then keep everyone guessing.
You know, if we murdered his entire family and dug up his farm he’d run out of things to say he’s retiring to spend more time with.
I keed, I keed!
On the other hand, if somebody stuffed a baggie of coke in his pocket at a party we could probably get GMs to stop signing him.
They’re still listed with “a” team, and portraits of them in that uniform are displayed on stage during their speeches.
ETA: Am I the only one who found it amusing that the Vikings sent all their white guys to talk him into coming back, and not one black guy? I mean, I can understand Longwell, because they played together in Green Bay for years, but not the others. As far as I can tell, only Jeff Dugan and the punter didn’t get to go.
