I agree. I don't beleive this for one second and i'm pretty surprised that so many of you are accepting this report at face value. I'm 100% certain he's not retird and 95% certain he'll be the Vikings starting quarterback by the time the regular season starts.

Favres love for drama aside, it wouldnt surprise me if Favre saw how much money Stafford got and is just making a play for more money. Right now, i'm predicting Favre comes back with a nice, new, two year, 32-36MM contract with close to 20MM in garaunteed money.

Had Favre retired after season, Minnesota's quarterback this season could have been Donovan McNabb, Jason Campbell or Marc Bulger.

Sucks but they knew the risk they were taking by waiting on him.

I am shocked.... thought he would return to give it one more try..

The Vikings will lose 4 games because of the Brett. He saved at least 4 that they would not have won last year. So I would have put them at 12-13 wins I will 8 or 9 wins now.

But like SS said I am going to wait till week one to actually fully believe we won't see #4 again.

Redskins coach Keenan McCardell was 2nd to last player to retire from 91 draft class. Last = Brett Favre

I am glad we got McNabb when we did this year. Would have hated to see him go to the Vikings and missed out on the guy.

On that note, Snyder better get busy on that extension for McNabb because if Favre stays retired, that price tag will go up and you know Brad Childress would love to have McNabb in Minny next year.

Other than what we gave up I wouldn't mind having McNabb as a one year rental provided we could pull somebody else in next year. I don't think that it will play out that way though.

Yeah because QB carousels have proven to be so successful in the NFL.

We finally get a top level QB and you'd be good with a one year rental?

If it meant us getting a top flight QB or rookie yes. With the rookie though it would be good to still have McNabb or someone for him to learn under.

It's not the ideal situation but if it happens, it does.

Time to lock his but up for the long haul with a nice contract as well. We don't want to lose him after the season to the Vikings as well.

He'll be back after the vikes start out 0-3
