Finally!

I personally think it is a great career choice.

That's a great way to describe it. It's basically like "look, I can't do anything about it, so we might as well just sit back and watch the trainwreck."

If you look at his signing in entertainment purposes only, this is awesome.

Precisely. Works for me.

I nominate this for best article in FanIQ history!

there must be Something about Minny......

"But anyway, railing on Favre at this point is boring."
Ha, that pretty much summed up this blog post.

Well, it the Ravens can win a Superbowl with Dilfer, and the Bucs can do so with Brad Johnson, the Vikes should still be a contender with Favre......wishful thinking?

Matt "We want the ball and we're going to score" Hasselbeck.

Good point, there's something about a trainwreck that serves as a salve for frustration.

Get your popcorn ready!

The article summed it up pretty perfectly.

I used to love the guy, and always liked him. But now, I have to confess, I wish pretty much the worst for him and the Vikings. The only people worse than Favre in this whole silly scenario are the Vikings for allowing him to do this.

The only thing I'd change in the article is the order in which he is treating his career, I think he's taking a dump on it before stomping on it.  That way he can leave a trail of sh!t everywhere else he goes afterwards.

I'm afraid so Norse.........very wishful thinking.

Ok.....so this poor kid is obviously getting some treatment for a medical situation, and some tool thought it would make her feel better to slap a Vikings jersey on her? Social Services people will be there soon to speak with the parents.

My issue with this whole thing is with Favre and the Vikings organization. Childress is trying to save his ass right now and he looks at Brett and see's his golden ticket plastered across his face. This is not fair to my team. They didn't ask for this media circus, they didn't ask for a QB that could care less about them. They deserve a QB, the leader of their team, to actually believe in them and stand behind them. They definitely don't deserve some douchebag who has his own agenda and will cast them aside as soon as his bidding is done.

How are Sage and Tarvaris supposed to react to this? Not only has Childress doomed the team, he also created a divide. I can imagine most of the players are not too particularly happy about the diva moving in, not to mention the treatment of two QB's who have given a lot of blood, sweat and tears for the team. I may have come down hard on both of those guys, but one thing I never said was they didn't have heart and they didn't bleed purple and gold. They may not be the best QB's in the league, but they at least love being a Viking and have given their all for it. That's way more than what Favre will ever do.

In the end, It will be entertaining to watch Favre go down in a blaze of...wait you're right. It's won't be glory. I can only hope Childress gets a boot up his ass on the way out the door for the divide he just split this team into and the ramifications which are about to hit. I also hope Tarvaris and Sage meet him with a very specific finger when they are asked to step up and cover for Favre when he fails, gets hurt, quits or a combination of all 3.

I love my team. I will bleed purple and gold the rest of my life but it's times like these that make you really evaluate on what being a fan is about.

 100% he is not only burning his legacy to the ground, but he is also salting the ground around it.

100% Agree with CheriCola

Favre is a drama queen that has beyond trashed his once good reputation.

ya seriously...all these nay-sayers will be the ones glued to their TV screens come Week 8...

And it's not selfish to want "revenge" against a team that turned its back on their most storied QB, it's human nature...I'd want to do the exact same thing..f** green bay fans, let them have Mr. Rodgers...

*Edited for cuss words*

The Season Of Brett's Revenge Has Arrived!! November 1 is when his evil plan comes to fruition.

Rosensmells played well? I guess you caught a case of:

I could care less about his legacy.  If he comes in and makes the offense that much better, including opening things up for Peterson, than I'm all for it.  Keep it up haters, we'll see later on.  I want my team to be better and so far I can't see why it won't be.

Man...i saw this coming months ago. No lie

Look for the Vikes in the NFC championship game come January.

Wow, you guys are so mean. Why shouldn't he do what makes him happy? He busted his but for 16 seasons with the Packers and when he needed a little sympathy and understanding from them they told him to get lost. So I don't think anyone can complain about him deciding to go play for the rivals who run a very similar offense plus have a phenomenal running back and run game already in place. It makes great sense because even in the second half of the season when he is sore and tired with his experience combined with Peterson and the Vikings defense they will still be very effective. I think this can be the case even if he performs no better than he did last season. The Vikings have a much more secure foundation than the Jets had last year. Too much was left on Favre's shoulders given his age and the fact that he was learning a new offense. This is not the case with the Vikings whom I think have all the elements of a playoff / super bowl contender except a decent quarterback. 

Additionally, no one can take away what he has already achieved. It would be like discounting Willie Mays' achievements and only remembering him from the time he spent with the Mets. He will always be a living legend and after everything he has done for football I think he deserves some understanding and to do what makes him happy.

I agree that it is not completely fair to Rosenfels and Tarvaris but let's be adults. This is business and fair doesn't matter as much as results. Neither are in the same league as Favre even given his age. And now they have an opportunity to learn from the best and that will serve them in the long run. And that notion that Brett Favre is not going to care about the Vikings is ridiculous. Why shouldn't he care? He needs them. He has every reason to work his butt off and pull together a great team. Saying this like "I may have come down hard on both of those guys (referring to Rosenfels and Tarvaris), but one thing I never said was they didn't have heart and they didn't bleed purple and gold. They may not be the best QB's in the league, but they at least love being a Viking and have given their all for it. That's way more than what Favre will ever do" is just plain irrelevant. They could be the most dedicated players ever but they are not super bowl QB's yet. And Rosenfels just arrived in Minesota. He hasn't even played yet! The offense that Childress has planned is the quintessential Favre offense. You couldn't pick a better person to come and kick things off. Now Tarvaris and Rosenfels have the perfect person to teach them how lead such an offense. This entire outrage is silly and childish. He is not a politician, it doesn't matter how many times he changes his mind before the season starts. He has the right to do so. I change my mind about my life's goal ten times a week.. He doesn't own Green Bay or anyone anything. The man had achieved amazing things and has earned the right to do what he wants. Vikings need a QB and Favre needed a team, its perfect. 

And as for him "lying" three weeks ago? Who knows what happened. maybe his wife didn't want him to come back and then she changed her mind when she saw how much it meant to him. Maybe he thought he wouldn't really do well in Minnesota but Childress convinced him otherwise. You don't know. Everyone please just relax and just stop being so obnoxiously mean for no reason. At least until week 6. Its just unnecessary and quite frankly really tacky.

I would not want to be Mr. Favre on November 1, when he and his Vikings enter Lambeau Field. He's going to find out from the fans that day just how much he alienated Packer Nation.

The question is, do i want to wear a purple jersey lol,  for 25 Million for 2 years, HECK YA!!!!

I can believe it.  Hating on him has become the cool thing to do.  Sure he's a bit of a prima donna.  But so what?  Let him play football if he wants to, for whom he wants to.

I completely agree Tiger ... I thought the Vikings were headed for a pretty decent season because of the investment they've made in Sage and Tavaris.  I feel sorry for the entire clubhouse. 

I have to say, I'll be entertained by all this BS when he is sacked mercilessly, re injures his shoulder and his A$$ sits the rest of the season on the bench.

 Okay here we go again the cry baby has returned. Yes, he can help them win more games but y would u consider trading away Tavaris and keep Booty stupid move. If the wildcat is going to get another year y get rid of ur best option in Tavaris who opens the field because u would have 2 play him long with Adrian, Burleson, Shaincoe while watching Bret. well best of luck to the franchise.

 finally done deal so much media attention i don't get it they are like omg brett farve just breathed we breath to come on people 

stop being so negative you idiots

exactly, the last thing we need in this world is more negativity.

oh no the worlds gone mad, oh wait its just Favre.............team to beat 

Thank you for writing exactly what I've been thinking about Favre!  He would have had a great legacy if he had of did what he said and retired from the Jets with his reputation and career on a good note!

Jackson is always hurt and Rosenfels is a back up all during his carrer, besides I love the idea of all the Packer faithful exploding their heads now

If Favre signs a contract and nobody gives a damn, did it really happen?  What a egomaniacal jackass.

i seem to remember someone telling me on this site weeks ago..oh, dont worry he wont sign with mn.....WELL- HERE'S YOUR SIGN !      funny though, i'm from mn and heard all the local news crews covering it.. being a true vikings fan i can only hope his does lots of bench time...old age?   it really burns my butt,cuz ive always hated our rival cheesehead packer backer.    peace   

Wait, Brett Favre is coming back?!?!  I hadn't heard about that...

So what if he is?  It's part of the game we all pay into by buying tickets and watching on tv.  Pro sport breeds selfishness and stokes egos.  It's nothing new.  I used to be good friends with Redskin Chris Cooley.  He used to be a stand up guy.  Now he brags about all of his money, film production and fame and cheats on his (ex-)wife with cheerleaders.  None of his old friends can stand him any more.  Egos.  Everyone here should just get over it and enjoy the show.

BURLESON!?!? what year are you in?

lmao 10 times..i peed my pants....lmao  

ROFLMAO!!!!

this article hit it right on the head, bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm good my mind had a relapse I ment Bernard

if you got paid that much $$$$$$$$$, you'd  BETTER have game.   hey can we get Gary Anderson back??????????? at least we'd have a chance with his field goals to win a few!!!! ya ya ya     

someone got hit in the head?       put me in coach i'm ready to play....
