Ultimately, does it matter?  We pretty much know that if he's healthy enough that he's coming back.

he will end up being a high payed qb couch like montana they both did not no when to quit 

I sure hope he has...b/c then he can retire again and again and again...

Here we go again...
Same ol' song again...
Marchin' down the avenue...
We don't know when he'll be through...

 why doesnt he just choose already??????? i personally dont care if he plays or not i mean he is a good player but why doesn't  he CHOOSE ALREADY 

if he's healthy ? their is no way he is healthy enough to offer him to much, right now you have to weigh experience against will 1 hit end the season or not. but hey wouldnt that be awsome. see that hit over and over on slow mo tivo

"Is Brett Favre Already Under Contract With The Vikings?"

only if they leveraged the contract away from Satan.

well see if he can last as long as howe. And I dont mean with the whalers at 53, I'm talking detroit vipers at age 70

Haha what? You'll be eating crow when he throws 25 INT's this year.

He did choose already.  He had surgery and he's waiting to see if he's healthy enough.  He's said that if he's good to go, then he'll be playing for the Vikings.  If he's not, he won't be playing at all.

yo diggidy dog whas happenin

Pro Football Talk is inaccurate? Are you saying that just because they share sources with Chris Mortenson?

Favre has signed? Well I guess now the Bears D has a chance to lead the league in takeaways again.

 No, he hs nothing to do with this. Even Satan is down there going what the f***? This is an evil beyond even his standards.

 Brad Childress lready ripped my hear out  when he started this whole fiasco. I've come to term with the fact my team is going to suck, but at least it will be amusing to watch Favre crash and burn. 

At this stage in their respective careers.....

He needs to choose a team and stay on it

as a loyal Green Bay Packers fan I hope Brett signs with the Vikings... it would be Great to see him in Purple on Lambeau Field.. I hope he wins to.. let's get this Rivalry thing going strong the way it should be. I need just another reason to hate the vikings and this is as good as any. Farve and Sharper together again.

 Why does he need to choose a team and stay on it?

I don't understand people complaing about Favre.  WHY DO YOU CARE???  It's not not YOUR career.  It's not YOUR life.  And it's not YOUR money.  Can you imagine if you left your current employer for another and a group of people started protesting you and writing negative news stories about you???  Jealousy is the only thing that could bring out this level of emotion in people.

First, when ticket money and merchandise money, not to mention tax money in the case of the new Magic arena, fund their salary then yes. We  have a right to complain. Sports are fan based. There would be no Brett Favre if there wasn't fans to watch him. You don't think fans have an impact on how an organization works? Go ask the owner of the Lions abou his uncomfortable town hall meeting at the end of last season. I enjoy football and yes, while I choose to put my money into the Vikings, I consider myself an investor at that point. I damn well am going to voice an opinion when my team is making a stupid, dumbass mistake. Second, if I left my current job to retire then joined another organization only to retire again to come back again and join my rival company? Yeah, I think some nasty things would be said about me as well.

I like to think we would all chip in to make him go away, though...

I'll donate my savings. Do I need to sell my car? What contribution do you need from me to make this happen?

the vikings can have him. he's old and shot.

Oh Please, this is getting really old!

I'll take the over please

Ticket money gets you access to the game.  Merchandise money gets you merchandise.  Tax money creates jobs (although perhaps not enough to pay for itself, but that's a different discussion for a different time, not to mention that stadiums do business with people other than the sports team(s)).  So you're not an investor.  You're a customer.  And customers that continue to support the company while complaining about their product really haven't a leg to stand on.  Are you going to not support the Vikes if they get Favre?  Are you going to boycott the companies that advertiser during the Vikings broadcasts?  Because they all support the team as well.  If so, I salute you.  If not, I have to ask why you would protest a man that's not even on your team yet.

And to your point on the retireing from one company only to emerge with another one:  That's not quite what happened.  Favre never retired.  Favre was going to retire and then decided he wasn't done yet.  He made it real easy for the Packers.  Give him a chance at the starting job (something every player gets) or let him go.  He was even open to a trade, but he had the nerve (!) to have a preference.  People blame Favre for dragging things out, but it was the Packers that dragged it out.  And as far as the Jets are concerned, they handled it correctly.  They were going to go in a different direction with the QB position, so they parted ways and didn't look back.

My major beef with Favre-haters is "why do you care?"  To quote Dr. Phil, "What's it's in it for you?"  What does Favre playing (or not playing) have to do with anything?  Why would you want to impose your will on a life that you have absolutely nothing to do with?  You people don't know Favre.  Most people don't really care about him.  Some claim they are concerned about him tarnishing his legacy.  Is taking the Jets to a 9-7 record really going to tarnish anything?  He finished weak, but he was also hurt.  If the guy is the media whore that people make him out to be, why wasn't he doing it last season in the largest media market in the world?  He gave the same interviews that he gave in Green Bay.  He was on TV alot, but hang that one on the media for wanting to cover the story.  Let the guy flourish or flame.  Whatever happens, it's all for him to decide.

If u want to go out on top u shoudve gone out 2 years ago. Just take a seat Brett, you gave your run, u got the most TD passes, what else do u need, u have a ring or two, just take a nice vacation and chill out at ur mansion.
