Brett Favre is coming back for more.The 39-year-old quarterback turned his back on retirement for the second time in as many years, agreeing Tuesday to play for the Minnesota Vikings."I felt I did everything I possibly could do to get where I need to be," Favre said Tuesday. "You're 39, your arm may not feel like it did at 21. But the pieces are in place that you don't have to do that much and I agree with that.

Wow big surprise that “Cry Baby” Favre unretired. This egomaniac obviously just can’t get enough. I believe Favre has major issues dealing with the fact that the Packers didn’t want some old near 40year old washed up quarterback anymore. Not only does he throw more picks than anyone else in the league he is completely immobile sitting back in the pocket. Myself being a true packers fan I can honestly say that he has damaged his legacy as a green bay packer. I can’t wait till Oct.5th and Nov.1st when we get a chance to lay him out. Don’t expect there to be any jersey retirement any time soon. I truly feel bad for the quarterbacks in Minnesota who put the time in at training camp and now “CryBaby” can just waltz in and get the job. Sage Rosenfels, Tavaris Jackson, and John David Booty have to be disappointed.

Why won't you just go away? You flip-flop as much as a liberal. I'm retiring. I’m not retiring. Waa – Waa Green Bay doesn’t want me anymore and won’t take me back. I’ll play for someone else and make them sorry they didn’t take me back. Mediocre year for New York Jests. Oh wait, I’m retiring again. No wait, I want to play again. Granted, at one time you were a great QB. Later in your career you were still a good QB. Now you are just an OK QB. Problem is there are too many OK QBs now. What teams need are great QBs. You are not it. Get over yourself, consider AARP membership and stay away from the NFL forever. Ever consider being a democrat politician? They’ll gladly welcome another flip-flopper into their fold.

Well, Even at his advanced "age", He is still better than 75% of the Q backs playing in the league, and this my help the Vikes till they find a good replacement.

I guess his next step is to run for office like the other two dingalings before him.

willie says, it doesn't matter because the steeler's will win their 7th!

The Vikes have a solid defense and the best running back in the league. If Bret can stay healthy, they look as good at this point as anyone. . . .and better than many.

GO VIKES! I may actually watch them now.

GO VIKES! I AM GLAD BRETT CAME ON BOARD!

And the race is on... Will he be sacked before he throws the interception?
The alternative is that the ViQueens play a one-dimensional game, with the only decision being whether Adrian Peterson runs left, runs right, or tries the middle?
Kevin
Brett, as long as you feel good about yourself, go for it man!

I'll bet the Green Bay folks are P.O.ed!!!

Yeah, he was, at one time, going to play the rest of his career in Green Bay. Then his wife got into it with Thompson (the GM), and all hell broke loose. Now she seems to be wheeling him around like a wheelbarrow to any and every team that will tick-off Thompson.
Watch the monster matchup on Oct. 1st, when the Vikes play the Packers!
Whattheheck
No, not PO'ed.
They're just glad that this sideshow is now in somebody else's circus.

As A Life long Green Bay fan (& Farve fan) I will be so conflicted this season.

FARVE IS LIKE A BAD HEALTHCARE BILL IT JUST WONT GO AWAY.
Dakota Kid
I was hoping we wouldn't be hearing about him this season. Oh well, I just hope nothing happens to him that makes him seriously disabled after all he does have children and a wife and sometimes there are more important things than football.

If this doesn't work out maybe he should try Pro. Wrestling.
topich
The man hasn't been good in years. He needs to hang it up, or he's just tarnishing his career.
mrmack
as great as Favre is...he is just as wishy-washy on retirement as ppl in bad relationships
