Keeping Up With Brett Favre

by Brandon on May 6, 2009 11:38 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

Ed Werner would tell you where and when Brad Childress and Brett Favre will meet, but then he'd have to kill you:

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress and quarterback Brett Favre plan to meet at an undisclosed location later this week.
From Chris Mortensen:

RT @Mort2u: Dungy did tell me that if Favre meets with Childress, then he's sure Brett will play with Vikes.
As a Packer fan, I'm not used to seeing Favre hatred, so I'm surprised how deep it runs for Viking fans:

OK, I'll stop there. I'd like to say writing this made me feel a lot better, but it really didn't. There's no simple on/off switch for diehard sports fans and their hatred. I will still hate Brett Favre until further notice. If he does become a Viking, I guess I'll just have to carry a puke bucket around with me when I watch the first few games.

Despite all the hate, maybe Viking fans can agree with Gene Wojciechowski on this point:

Even if you can't stand the idea of another Favre unretirement, you have to admire him for working his way around a system usually stacked in favor of the teams, not the players. But however he got to this point, either by plan or accident, Favre could be a Viking soon.

really Brandon??

do we need more Favre posts that result in 10 page papers by some? lol just joking!

So Brett will most likely be a Viking… ok big deal the Vikes will still be one of the favorites with or without him to win the NFC North… The Packers and Bears will be right there with them so it should be a competitive division with or without him..

I really can't wait

to see Kampman lay Favre out. Favre is dead to me. Unfortunately, I still have to live with ESPN.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Agreed

I idolized him throughout my childhood and until his initial retirement, but I’ve lost most of my respect for the man.

Spot on. Soon there will be Brett Favre Live on right after NFL live everyday. Because the twenty min at the start of sports center just isn’t enough.

Sleeping under a avalanche with Cartman, wake me Sept 3.

As a Packer fan, I’m not used to seeing Favre hatred, so I’m surprised how deep it runs for Viking fans:

People get emotional about the rivalry between our teams. I “hate” the Packers in that they’re our major division rivals, and for the past ~15 years, Favre has been the face of your franchise. It’s a little 1984-ish, going from him being “the enemy” to “the QB”. And honestly, the Packer fans are just as vitriolic about his switch. Just look at jobe above me.

Honestly, if Favre joins the Vikings, I can’t see the Packers being as quick to offer him a public position after he double dog dare retires and really means it this time, no crossed fingers, he swears!

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

I agree with you

Particularly about the public position thing, though there is no Favre way will want anything to do with the Packers as long as Ted Thompson is still there.

Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb

True

That may or may not be true… But if it is Favre will likely have a REALLY long wait for his Jersey retirement in GB! Likely past his induction into the HOF! And how is that going to look? Favre being inducted into the Pro Football HOF, before getting inducted into the Packers ring of honor, because Favre is soooo Petty!!!

Personally, I think Favre just needs to spend a year away from the game, and he will realize HE was the culprit for the vast majority of last offseason!

Screw all you Favre haters

Have any of you even considered how hard it is for someone to stop doing what he has done every day his entire life? It’s all you assholes that are turning his legacy into a joke. Have you seen or heard Brett even mention coming back—to the Vikings? No. It’s all the sports reporters and Favre haters making up this shit.

He is a football legend and always will be. Nobody can take that away from him. So lay off, you all sure enjoyed him when he was playing for the Packers, didnt you? Maybe everyone should focus on the many records he broke and what he gave to his career in football. Just grow the f—k up and leave this legend alone.

You’re a bit late to the party, but welcome anyways.

Nobody’s taking away his legend status except for him. Trust me, I want him to be the legend forever and ever, but he’s taken his legend status and exposed himself as a mere mortal.
