I can't wait till we beat them.
August 17, 2010 at 04:00 pm
i don't see him relenting and having a heart to heart on the floor of the death star hangar after the season though.
August 17, 2010 at 04:05 pm
now i got to see if i can get him back for my fantasy team i cut him
August 17, 2010 at 04:13 pm
The frickin Freddy Krueger of football...or is it Kim Kardashian?
August 17, 2010 at 04:17 pm
i got him back wow like going to win millon lottery with him.
August 17, 2010 at 04:18 pm
Great news. Hate to have that guy get away with beating us twice then retire
August 17, 2010 at 04:21 pm
davy jones i like that one. right on.but if and when he plays 10 sacks, 5picks and a fumble we (pack win )
August 17, 2010 at 04:27 pm
Anybody else think he's dipped the well too many times. I got a funny feeling this is the year he doesn't get to finish.

Yeah, how long can you expect to luck out and not get a serious injury. Favre's karma has to be burnt to the ground by now. The brilliance of it is that Packer fans will forever be able to laugh at the vikings for getting on their knees for this sociopath.

Seriously how many years can you luck out and get by without a serious injury. Not wishing it, but just stating the odds.
Favre Karma is all used up at this point.
THe bright side is that Packer fans will forever be able to laugh at Viking fans for getting on their knees for this sociopath.
He will be hated in not only green bay but Minnesota as well by the time his career is out.

That's weird my page timed out the first time i was writing a reply but there it is.

Clay Matthews, rip his freaking head off.
August 17, 2010 at 04:34 pm
Well funny that everyone knew this was coming. I personally am very happy, as stated before, we can let him go beating us twice. Now Packers do your job and show him the exit.
But it would be too much to really think this is his last year? Not in my mine, he'll be back, and back, and back, ...
Funny thing is I believe he made a deal with the devil, but he fought, the devil cheats, no more SB rings for him. Wear the Packer SB ring proudly and go on with your life.
Now back to real football news, que Aaron..

Star Wars? So rumors are true. You are, indeed, a geek.

Favre is back. Shocking. Did he wear crocs on the plane?
/Hopes that Favre gets season-ending injury in practice.
August 17, 2010 at 05:03 pm
They should have some good shows again, but I'll only be happy IF Capers takes off the wuss gloves and allows his players to rip Favres freakin head off this season.
August 17, 2010 at 05:04 pm
It's good news ........ Now all the problems in ViQween land will suddenly disappear ....... "Lord Farve" has landed.
Just two predictions.
1. GB will sweep the Vikes in 2010
2. Farve's starting streak will end.
August 17, 2010 at 05:22 pm
meh

How sad that the Vikings had to send players to convince him to come back. And I would just like to say how grateful I am to have a QB for the Packers who actually wants to be here and put in the effort for the team.
August 18, 2010 at 07:03 am
Ithink it's all an act. I don't buy into any of it. Unless he gets hurt, they'll have to top it by sending sending Childress to load his bags onto the plane next year.

the template for crushing the Queens was forged in the NFC Championship game...
HIT'em HIGH; HIT'em LOW; HIT'em EVERY SINGLE PLAY!
Get to Lorenzo; plant the seed of doubt in his teammates and the team is doomed.
August 17, 2010 at 05:45 pm
Kevin Seifert has been calling this date/week pretty much since the offseason started as the time Favre would return.
And he nailed it.
August 17, 2010 at 06:35 pm
I didn't see it on video or anything, but it was reported by the Star Tribune that the Favre motorcade got a police escort to the team facility. I'm sure the hundreds of state and local government employees who were laid off or forced to take unpaid leave will take comfort in the fact that there were tax dollars available to pay for THAT.
Favre's karma comes back in full force during his annual playoff meltdown.
I heard that Adrian Peterson was NOT picked to visit Favre because Brett was afraid he'd want to hold his new baby grandson...

Found a video of Favre after last years Saints game.

Talk is cheap. Especially after what he did to our defense last year.
Packers fans = The Black Knight
Favre = King Arthur

What trophy did he win for that? Name a QB, in the history of the NFL, that has single handedly escorted his team out of the playoffs (or prospects thereof) with more frequency then BF since 01'? You can't...utter failure in the biggest moments on the biggest stage.
August 17, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I didn't say anything about trophies. I fully expect Favre to choke in the playoffs.
But to say, "Favre sucks. We're gonna beat his ass!" after what he did to our D last year, is just dumb. I criticize fans of opposing teams that act like that, and I practice what I preach.
August 17, 2010 at 10:57 pm
Well, you attacked an entire fan base when you say, "Packer fans". Feel free to call out a particular offender, I will likely agree with you. Leave the rest of the well-informed, NFL literate fans out of it.
August 17, 2010 at 11:01 pm
OK, Over "confident" Packers fans.
August 17, 2010 at 11:02 pm
"overconfident"
August 18, 2010 at 12:54 am
This is unheard of. Him returning for another year. ;-)
August 18, 2010 at 03:43 am
Last season Favre looked tired by the end, he was getting hit harder and harder, until the Saints game where they damn near broke his leg. The season before he badly injured his arm. That's two seasons with two surgeries needed. You gotta believe he won't finish this season. Players know he'll stay in the pocket as I doubt he'll he able to do much on his oft repaired ankle, meaning the Vikings o line will take a huge beating, eventually tiring and letting pressure through.
Sucks for the Queens, but then if you let a ancient fossil run your team, what do you expect.
August 18, 2010 at 06:44 am
david you rule you hit it.
August 18, 2010 at 07:13 am
I think people fail to appreciate how much of Farve streak was built on relationships. Joking with Sapp, giving Strahan the sack. Those guys are all gone now, but the refs are still a little quick to throw the flag for him. Don't look for the Pack to unload on him. He is what he is. The annual Diva show will go on until his joints wear out and he can't zing the ball. I give it one more year after this one, or until there is an agreement on HGH testing.

Brett does resemble a helmet-less Darth Vader, doesn't he? They're both similar in age.
August 18, 2010 at 08:18 am
How embarrassing for Viking fans absolutely creaming themselves over a 40 year old has been. Helicopters hovering over Winter Park, fans lining the streets outside the complex. And how do you think Jackson and Rosenfeld really feel about three of their teammates getting down on their knees pleading with #4 to return. This "team" has no confidence in themselves, rather, they only have confidence in one "has been".

What? I just woke from a 2-year coma. Brett retired from football. I remember seeing him crying on TV... very emotional. WTF?
