cdrudge Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Plane Flies From Minneapolis To Hattiesburg, And Back AgainPosted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2009, 10:59 p.m. It probably means nothing. It apparently was a group of Target execs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) The Packers should have tried this... "The Oak Grove Warriors of Hattiesburg, Miss., had a strong football season in 2008, finishing 12-2 after a 28-0 loss to Meridian in the state Class 5A quarterfinals. There were rumors that some Warriors felt as if they could have advanced further, if only their early-summer preparation had not been disrupted by an interloper named Brett Favre. That's why sources are suggesting the gates have been padlocked and several strands of barbed wire have been attached above the fences at Warrior Field. The latest scare that Favre might be again planning to use Warrior Field as a backdrop for TV mini-cams surfaced Tuesday night when it was revealed the New York Jets had granted his demand for a release. Favre had made this request previously in February, in conjunction with a retirement announcement. He was more forceful this week, after the Jets moved up in the draft to acquire Southern California quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Jets acceded to Favre's demand this week. General Manager Mike Tannenbaum released a statement that included this quote from Favre: "Nothing has changed. At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football." Those three little words -- "at this time" -- make it official: Favre plans to play again. Edited April 30, 2009 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I hope he comes back and has two phenomenal games (both against the Packers) - if only to drive you insane Burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Notice Childress didn't answer the question- "Asked when the last time he talked to Favre was, Childress said, "Like I said, I haven't had time to do much ... I'm more focused on the guys that are here, participate in the offseason program. "I'm more focused on our three quarterbacks right now. Tarvaris and Sage and J.D. that are progressing through this program and our offseason program." Edited May 3, 2009 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricrelish Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I thought that Farve decided not to have arthroscopic surgery to repair his torn biceps. Wouldn't he need this surgery before he could be ready to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I thought that Farve decided not to have arthroscopic surgery to repair his torn biceps. Wouldn't he need this surgery before he could be ready to play? Knowing Favre he didn't have the surgery. He's a bit of a wimp when it comes to that. Brett Favre said in February that a prime reason for retiring is that he needs surgery to repair the biceps in his right arm. Favre made it clear that he did not want to have the surgery, and there's been no indication that he's gone under the knife. If he does get the "itch" to play again, time is working against him. It's also worth noting Vikings owner Ziggy Wilf said in February that he'd have "no interest" in Favre even if he became available later in the offseason.

Chavez Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I doubt he wants to punish Ted Thompson so much he hurts the fans here. I don't think he cares about the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I don't think he cares about the fans. I'm starting to think you're right. If the Vikings contacted him before the release is that tampering too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I don't think he cares about the fans. I don't think he ever cared about the fans. I think it was a well thought out persona that he carried on for a long, long time. I'm starting to think you're right. If the Vikings contacted him before the release is that tampering too? I don't think there was any tampering going on with Favre. Honestly, I don't think the Vikings brass wants anything to do with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
