Diner Morning News: The Favre Watch

Go Favre! Weeks 4 and 8 are going to be HUGE...

Yes, "at some point" Childress will have to come clean on this. But that point is NOT now, when it sounds like things are still up in the air about the results of the surgery, ergo Favre's future with the team.

SPortswriters will just have to accept that CHildress (nad Favre) is trying to do what is best for their organization -- which is not to stir the pot when they don't know the final outcome -- and not do what's best for sportswriters who are looking for scoops.

TJack and Rosenfels are professionals, just like Kellen Clemens in NJ last year, if they don't know how to deal with this, they have to learn. Hey I only get paid a tiny fraction of what these guys get, and I'm professional enough that I don't have to sulk every time I don't get picked for the next plum assignment or promotion. Are these guys grown men or babies that need coddling? Have they never before had to practice when they are not the lock as starters?

Favre's elbow didn't lead over the top after the injury. He slung the ball, brought his elbow forward from the side, instead of the classic compact arc he used to rip passes loose with.

The Jets had better wideouts than MN as well. Is Favre going to like playing on a hard sirface that many more games a season? Can his arm use all of the turf speed, do the Vikes have underneath wideouts able to make YAC gains anything like Cotchery or Washington?

Brett Favre go away ruin our lives another day. He just holds franchises at gunpoint and it's classless. Thank heaven the Broncos want nothing to do with him. Also, as Jim Rome reported about 45 minutes ago, Childress has given Favre an ultimatum. Sorry, Favre, generally the public no longer trusts you and now no one will remember the good. Nice going...

Enough already !!!!!!!!!

MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I consider Favre the way the movie "Escape from New York" considered its anti-hero/hero.

"'Snake' Plesskin- I thought you were dead."
This is not meant to be a hope that Favre will die soon- it is simply an overwhelming hope that this story will die a quiet, peaceful and dignified death. The sooner the better.

I'm hoping Favre signs with the Vikings. I agree with Eric--those two games with be HUGE!

Favre was a great player, but the reason most of us loved the guy was his approach to the game. He was a big kid playing the game he loves, the way most of us would envision playing it. Winning and having fun doing it. Now, like a big kid, he still wants to play. Who can blame the guy! He doesn't care who's held hostage or what any of us say. He just wants to play......or maybe not. But he'll decide when he's ready and someone will want him. Pretty simple stuff

Could Favre have already had this surgery right after the '08 season ended? I get so tired of Favre news. He reminds me of someone who wants to work part-time for full-time benefits. He is one of the most selfish athletes I've ever seen. The Pack didn't wrong him. He could not make up his mind. GM Ted Thompson grew tired of being in the Brett Favre business, and not the NFL business. I am glad the Pack made the move away from Favre and act like a regular franchise with QB Aaron Rodgers. I have increased my appreciation of GB since then.
