Will he or won't he? Football fans waiting to hear whether Brett Favre will join the Vikings may soon get an answer.

According to ESPN, Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress has set a deadline for Favre. He wants Favre to decide by the end of this week whether he'll commit to playing the 2009 season.

He really has. This is worse the Michael Jordon’s attention-whoring at the end of his career.

I used to like Brett. Now I think he’s just a pathetic ex-former-has-been. He’s needs to go away, like yesterday.

If he plays for the Vikings, he will never have his number retired in Green Bay. In trying to get his revenge on Ted Thompson, he will destroy his bond with the Green Bay fans.

I don't think he understands what he will face when he plays for Minnesota in Lambeau Field.

Yup, even after 17 years, Brett never learned that the Packers fans are just that - Packers fans, not Favre fans. They cheered just as loud for Don Majewski and Aaron Rogers as they did for him.

yep. Retire. Or don't. Just STFU.

Farve has forgotten that football is a team sport, and it's not all about him.

Canes101, how about Brett comes by your house and tells you to go hit a golf course.

The Green Bay Packers and the media have created this entire circus, not Brett.

Favre has STFU. He isn't the one making a clown act out of this. The sports drive-by media is (espn).
