Favre staying retired
July 28th, 2009 – 3:53 PM by Chip ScogginsJudd just received a phone call from Brad Childress who said he talked to Brett Favre and that he was informed that Favre is staying retired. Childress cited the daily grind both mentally and physically as part of the reason why Favre remained retired.
“I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division,” Childress said. “He knows our system inside out … This doesn’t change anything about how I feel about our football team.”

[…] According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre has informed Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress of his intent to stay retired. […]
It’s just his way to avoid training camp. My sources tell me he’ll have a change of heart right around Sept 1st.
He’ll probably change his mind later tonight. It’s his prerogative as supreme HOF QB. Now Pack fans can forgive and resume kissing his a$$. Sage, take the bull by the horns, I’ve seen the alternative and don’t have any faith in him.
[…] A columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that Brett Favre will remain retired instead of becoming a Minnesota Viking. The writer is citing a source who spoke to Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress in his report. If this is confirmed, the Green Bay Packers won’t have to worry about facing Favre twice this coming NFL season. It also signifies that perhaps Favre has had enough of coming in-and-out of retirement, and his stint with the New York Jets was it. […]

Come on, Sagevaris Jacksenfels! Hope you were preparing like a starter, because now you (collectively) are, and it’s make-or-break time for (both of) you.
what a complete jerk. He made us and the Vikings wait all this time only to say that he is staying retired.
We should all thank the Smooter. He called it. Besides his chat with the pope didn’t hurt either.

This is GREAT news!
Now I can go back to hating the SOB.
What a classless hillbilly Farve is.
The silver lining in this is that he didn’t take the Packers offer of 20 million dollars to stay retired.
He’s not only class-less but stupid too!

Coach Childress, Ziggy Wilf would like to see you in his office. Please bring your keys to winter park with you.
Once again, Childress plans to address the QB situation fail miserably….
Say what you want about the coach, but he sure knows how to f up the most important position on an otherwise Super Bowl calibur team. Maybe we luck out and Booty “clicks” this season when forced into action after Tardvaris and Sage continue to be what they always have been.

I feel like we have been stood up for a prom date. I would have liked to had the SOB, but as Fran put it “we can go back to hating him again”. He best not take a vacation to the North Country or might wind up with Paul Bunyan’s ax in his skull and Babe’s horn up his a$$. We must smoke the Puckers this year or they will never get over themselves. Sage, please don’t suck.

Truer words were never said.
What’s really “sick” about this whole thing ??
Teddy Thompson WINS !!!
He has beaten the Waffler once and for all !!!..And at his own game…
You had your chance to “stick it to the man” Brett..And you blew it !!!
Is my season ticket refundable?
Is my season ticket refundable?
Thank God he’s not coming!!!! There is no way, NO WAY!!!, that a almost 40 year old, broken down, egotistical, interception throwing machine, is good for the Vikes. Thanks Brett!!!!!
Let the Sage era finally begin!!! I think he will surprise a lot of people and make Brett Favre-a-Beans a distant memory.
So where does this leave us? T-joke, Rosenflownder, or Booty Call? Farve is such an idiot. He looses either way. Thompson is smoking big ole cigar about now and snickering. But wait……….. Farve will likely change his mind again about the time training camp is over and hopefully we don’t return his phone calls.
Lets go get Vick!!
Finally an answer! Now it’s time for the other two to show there stuff.
bye brett. you’re not allowed to change your mind again. oh, and by the way, your deposit on that edina condo is non-refundable.

A devistating blow to this season. Not only did we lose out on a Hall of Famer, Chili now gets to go into damage control with his remaing quarterbacks (a career backup and a never-will-be). And the timing could not have been worse.
All the haters got their wish, you won’t have to cheer for Brett Favre and instead can enjoy yet another season of mediocrity from our signal-callers. But you can guarantee that the only people happier than you right now are the fans across the border.
How many legit Super Bowl contenders enter training camp without knowing who their starting quarterback will be?
I disagree with you upnortvike. Favre is the big winner in all this. He got tons of headlines from the moment this whole fiasco started and will remain a god to the green and gold faithful. Hell, I’m sure a huge portion of Packer fans think even higher of him after today! Sure, he lost out on some money, but my guess is that he isn’t struggling to make his mortage payments…
What a jackass Favre is. I knew I hated that guy.
The responses{ some of them} remind me of when you are asked a yes/no question. If the the answer is always yes, then why ask the question. {same applys to no}. We assumed Favre would say yes, even though he never gave his answer. We needed to be prepared for either answer, instead of assuming {like the ’sources’ reported}. it was a given. Yeah it is disapointing. We will always wonder, ‘What if’? But, with this descission, there is no ‘What if’? he is unable to play to the level he felt the Vikings needed. Better to find out this way than have him crumble mid way through the season. Then we would have a mess. Bones I politely disagree with ya on the ‘devistating blow’. We never had him to begin with {unlike the blow of a current Viking, say AD breaking a leg or such}. We were in no position to draft a franchise QB this year, and there really wasnt any savior on the open market worthy of such either. Does athis lower our expectations for the season, hell yes it does. Would be heavenly sweet that Sage could prove us wrong. {I intentionaly omit TJack} As for Sage, TJack, Booty, it us up to you 3 to show that you are capable of doing what Favre can not. The organization did not feel that you can. Now, ya gotta show us if they were right or wrong.

Right Bones. Brett was in the headlines long enough to get more endorsements also, so he’ll make a bunch of money from that. Sears announced he made a commercial for them this week.

Take advantage of this weak market while you can. I have been able to locate several condominiums at 40% to 75% below listing price, one in San Fran and another in Miami. The deals are good! The source I used to locate them is good.
