[SirClintonPortis]

The cries of pain from fantasy football owners who cut Favre can be heard from miles away.

Most owners would have waited for official word before making a drastic decision to dump the guy who waffles more than anyone.

True, but I saw that at least 1000 fellas on Yahoo! dumped Favre yesterday. I wasn't one of them.

I think he will come back. But, I think that this is the LAST season.

This is the vikings one Last GREAT chance. Childress will tell him that, and there is no way he would refuse coming back for that kind of money, with that kind of team, with a super chance to win a super bowl and go out on top.. A NFC champioship game visit is pretty much a sure thing for the vikes if he signs.

I don't know if it's a sure thing, but the Vikes should be a playoff team for sure.

I like Green Bay and, gulp,.... Dallas in the NFC Championship game.

**I think I just threw up in mouth just now.**

Come on man, the NFC East should at least be more competitive this year than it was last year, and they have just as tough a schedule as we do.

Knowing the media, I suspect they don't mind losing a ton of stuff in translation if it means registering a ton of website hits.

Skins and Dallas will be king of the beast, just like old times. New York and Philly will be good but we'll be better.

I know it has got to be hard to walk away from something you love especially something you have been doing most of your life, but at some point I wonder if Favre isn't doing this to see what sort of attention he may get from his indecision.

Favre get's the maximum attention and respect in the football world and I understand because he has earned it over the many years he's played.

However, what he does each year at this time is unfair to Jackson, Rosenfels and whoever else may be there trying to prepare for the season. It must be tough on those guys not knowing what to expect until the very last minute.

Well the Vikings management and ownership could also show some cojones in all this. Anybody think Allen and Shanahan would allow this?

After so many failed atempts at that [for them] ever elusive SB title, they're willing to put up with just about anything to take advantage of this short window of opportunity the Favre era affords them.

It may take him as long as he's played to repair his home life amid allegations of his various means of getting his mack on.

[12thMan]

I think this incident, as well as the Haynesworth mis-communication shows how out of touch management can be with some of these high profile athletes.

Saw an interview last night on tv...some reporter followed him as he was getting in his truck to do something with his family...stood in the open door of his truck so he couldn't close the door and was asking him all about his decision and if it was for the money. Favre was getting visibly frustrated and kept saying "no, it's absolutely not about the money" as if he was offended by the question being asked over and over. He said if he's healthy, he'll definitely play, but his surgically-repaired ankle isn't completely ready yet and he has yet to get a solid determination about it with his doctors, but when he does, he'll make his decision...also he's keeping the Vikings up-to-date.

Then he finally said "Really, I have to get going" and left.



The reporters' piranha-like behavior makes it tough to hate Favre for any of this. It's pretty clear, if his ankle recovers, he'll play...let him find out and he'll tell us. Stop stalking the man.

If the media would just stop acting so ridiculously and just let him tell us when he actually knows...this whole thing would not be an annoyance at all, even if he waits until 2 weeks before the season starts to decide...who cares? Guys hold out on every team every year.

Sure it's not the best scenario for the team if he decides so late...but unless we're a Vikings fan, why should we care? The fact is...most of us don't...but we can't escape it.
