Maybe Anthony Davis will join him for a dream backfield...

i met montana a number of years ago in a professional capacity. probably the nicest sports star i have ever met (tied with jerome bettis).

all joe wanted to talk about was horses. nothing really about himself. and he was interested in what other people had to say and was asking more questions than giving answers.

it was kind of annoying since i wanted to talk football.

on the other hand, joe theisman is a total %$)#@&!!!

I agree. To let this chance slide by and not use it to stick it to Thompson made no sense. Brett has a vengeful side to anyone that says ‘no’ to him.

He won’t quit until he does a Theisman.

As a die hard Viking fan, living in Mid Wisconsin I am going to write a letter to President Obama and beg him to use Wisconsin as a test case for his Death Panels. Only we will use it on Wisconsin Has Beens. First last night we hear about the Favre rumor, and now this morning there are news reports that Tommy Thompson is thinking of running for Governor again!

WISCONSIN THE LAND OF THE HAS BEENS

Does anyone think Favre will have the patience to just hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson 25-30 times a game or will the urge to “make something happen” be too much for him to resist?

We had our fantasy draft last night. Favre (listed as a Jet) was picked in the last round. Vick was taken in the next to last round (he’s a good fit for Philly with their rabid fans).

I’m surprised somebody didn’t take Plaxico or even McNair. But Plaxico would be a shot in the dark and McNair’s shot, his arm’s dead.

Anthony Davis...

What's wrong with Frank Gifford? A geezer offense could be just the thing to throw off defensive timing. think "KNUCKLEBALL."

Until he throws a killer INT against the Giants.

Agreed, as a Packer fan.

So he comes back and beats Green Bay twice, so what? Last I heard, it is a sixteen game season, and there are a lot of teams that would still be gunning to put him on the ground as often as possible. If he doesn’t lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl win, it’s all for nothing, if the money truly doesn’t matter to him anymore.

I hope this is true. I love watching Brett play and the anti-Brett comments are always fun to read. To each their own.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

I can only hope they are hiring Farve to sit on the bench behind Sage. Traveris Jackson can hit the road, He's worse than Gary Cuozzo ever was.
