I finally grew tired of tracking his season, his career and will make this my last entry. There's no use trying to be an apologist or find ways to shine a light on his career. If he comes back somehow next year, I might see a reason to resurrect this blog. But finite. ... [More]

He gave it his all and it hasn't been good enough of late. Brett Favre can step aside now knowing he's been bested by father time and not feel ashamed. Most people his age cannot say they've achieved as much. Ironic that it is the Green Bay Packers, the team that spurned him, who are helping close the door(again) on a great career. They paid a great price for sending him to the showers too early. Favre ultimately pays the price with his body and his legacy, though the latter... [More]

Where do you find the motivation to move on? It seems like the season is lost, three games back in the division. Brett Favre has a host of injuries and it seems like the Vikings had spent their last gasp on that comeback against the Arizona Cardinals. The chant for the coaches head will be unanswered yet another week with the Packers coming to town. There is nothing that can seem to give this team a rallying cry going into their next home game. What a somber scene it will be. Will the t... [More]

Brett Favre knows what he had in Randy Moss, even if Brad Childress does not appreciate the ex-ex-Minnesota Viking receiver. Favre weighed in at his Wednesday presser... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/03/surprised-by-decision-to-cut-moss-favre-focuses-on-the-immediate-future/ It's likely Favre was the object of Childress' ire because he was forcing the ball to Moss in previous games. It's likely the head coach could not phathom how to use number 84 or appreciate h... [More]

It wasn't the fantasy pairing many thought it would be and now it is apparently over. With a quick trigger, the Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress has apparently sent Randy Moss to some other team's showers. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/01/reports-brad-childress-acted-alone-on-moss-has-lost-the-locker-room/ He may have been out of line and a divisive element in Minnesota, but it makes you wonder why the need for a quick exit when the team so desperately needed ...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/29/report-childress-is-leaning-toward-tarvaris/ This would be a mistake and Childress is taking his job in his own hands if they don't get a win against the Patriots on Sunday. Most NFL analysts have said that a hobbled Favre beats two Tavaris Jackson's in the bush. Favre has played through similar injuries and has played great. You can start him and the worst that could happen is that you may see a need to sit him down if he doesn't... [More]

I'm trying to figure out if the NFL is really serious about getting to the bottom of these allegations against Brett Favre? What is his crime if sexual harassment charges are not being pursued? The victim in this is Favre's wife, first and foremost. Does the NFL investigate infidelity? And to what degree has he cheated on Deanna? It gives me pause to wonder why this investigation is still in the headlines after NFL reps talked to Favre on Tuesday. Favre had nothing to say about wha... [More]

Should I have added a question mark to the title of this blog entry? Just as I want to lure eyes to read what this is about, isn't it possible Brett Favre and the Vikings want to create a little doubt for their upcoming opponent in the Cowboys? Anything to get an edge on a dangerous team that is 1-3 like Minnesota and seeing their playoff hopes dwindle. But, PFT reports there is the real possibility Favre could sit out on Sunday. Really? I'm supposed to buy this? http://profootb... [More]

There is speculation there is a silver lining in Monday night's near comeback against the New York Jets that fell flat after Brett Favre failed to connect with Percy Harvin before the interception that essentially ended the game. Favre dug deep in his bag and pulled out a near miracle in the second half, finding that missing passing game now that Randy Moss is in the line-up. Whether it be his 500th career TD pass to number 84 or the two he threw to Harvin, it was suddenty clicking. And t... [More]

The long awaited pairing of receiver and quarterback is no longer fantasy, but reality. Randy Moss' return to his old team in Minnesota seems to be the relief the Vikings need in their receiving corps. Questions still remain to be answered. While it is true that Moss gets a freeh start with each new team, will he be happy in the land of 10,000 lakes? Early indications are that he is happy to be home and maybe his early season squabbling in New England was designed to get him out of his pr... [More]

Interesting theory offered up. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/21/whitlock-offers-bold-favre-prediction/ I think there a lot of people out there who want to throw in the towel already. Let's wait to see how the game against the Lions this Sunday turns out. If the Vikings allow themselves to slide under a perennial division cellar dweller, look for a lot of people to start turning out the lights in Minnesota. If the Vikings can survive a scary first half sked with at le... [More]

Favre has planted another seed in the media. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/30/favre-already-is-getting-ankle-injections/ The only reason we know about this jiffy lube job, with his spin on how it might or might not affect his performance this season, is because Favre wants to get in the collective heads of fans, media and players who might be hunting down said ankle. So, why make himself a target? Does Favre want defenses to tee off on him? There's a few ways of look... [More]

Sidney Rice has broken his silence about his decision to have surgery on an ailing body part just weeks before the start of the season. Profootballtalk.com has conjured up a conspiracy theory that suggests the wide receiver kept quiet about needing to go under the knife until they had the ol' QB in the fold... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/24/sidney-rice-says-dallas-is-still-the-destination/ It's quite possible Favre would have kept his chips in his pocket if he knew...

To share here briefy. It seems a contigent from the Vikings went to Hattiesburg to pursuade their QB to make a decision to come back on the anniversary of his last unretirement and it appears to have worked. No one knows for certain if he's finally made up his mind, but more details can be found here... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/17/all-signs-point-to-brett-favre-announcing-return-tuesday/ http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/17/vikings-oddly-make-their-coaches-...

What a time to be on vacation with no internet access at this Black Hills, South Dakota lodge. I have ears thanks to satellite TV and the news about Favre today feels a bit surreal. I have mixed feelings. I adopted the don’t be so sure he’s going to play this year attitude and did not jump on reports that would indicate he would play this season. I didn’t take that ankle injury as seriously as I see now I should. But I have reasons to doubt the reports that he is telling tea... [More]

Even Brett Favre's agent is fed up. The recent article in Men's Home Journal calls out the veteran quarterback for giving an interview to ESPN about his ankle without going through the proper channels first... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/19/even-brett-favres-agent-thinks-favre-is-a-drama-queen/ Some would say this is evidence of his ego, and it might be in part. But I think what is important to witness is his decision making. You see it on the field with the interc... [More]

It's not new, but it's straight from the horse's mouth. Brett Favre says returning for a 20th season is still in the balance, while his surgically repaired ankle remains to be fully healed... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/15/brett-favre-not-completely-healthy-and-i-may-never-be/ The off-season has been full of speculation from many who think Favre will return. This may be the usual ploy to avoid unnecessary wear on an aging body that will turn 41 early in the sea... [More]

Aaron Rodgers gets pointedly opinionated with Tony Kornheiser, who has interviewed him about how hard it is to fill Brett Favre's shoes in Green Bay. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/09/kornheiser-reacts-if-rodgers-thinks-im-no-good-hes-not-the-first/ Perhaps, Favre still casts a shadow on his replacement who needs to focus on football rather than picking a fight with the weakest kid on the playground....

All week long grist for the Favre rumor mill kept grinding on topics that lent to speculation about his retirement. It makes you wonder why we have to sit through all that when the biggest story of all was under everyone's noses but no one could ferret it out...until now: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/05/21/brett-favre-confirms-ankle-surgery/ There may be some method to his madness.

It's obvious Brett Favre will not be deterred by an ankle injury suffered in last year's conference championship against the Saints. The unknown extent of the injury and required surgery reported by ESPN's Ed Werder was fodder for debate much of the day. Would Favre retire for good? Thankfully the old QB offered more today to clear the air... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/30/favre-says-ankle-surgery-would-be-relatively-minor/ So it if's a minor surgery, why d...

Had to weigh in... Without closure, while there are lingering questions and fodder for rumors about all events surrounding Ben, this will be a dicey affair between QB, team and fans. Someone needs to step in and clear the air and get this all out on the table. The timing of the NFL draft and other events makes it a difficult time to tackle right now. The team is not going to act without the commissioners final decision on the matter. When it is addressed and a suspension is handed dow... [More]

As you might know by now, nothing new came from Favre's appearance on the Tonight Show with Leno this week.
