Source: Favre Will Be At Vikings' Training Camp
WCCO-TV, Twin Cities ^ | 6/23/2009 | Mark Rosen

Barring some unforeseen major physical setback, Brett Favre will be at training camp in Mankato when they open up the end of July, a source has told WCCO's Mark Rosen.

That source said that Favre and the Vikings have indeed come to a contractual agreement, with heavy incentives. The Vikings equipment manager has already ordered number 4 purple jerseys with his name on it.

If nothing else, the Vikings' season should be entertaining for a change.

I cannot stand that stupid Shofar sounding horn that blows whenever a first down is made.

BTW Aaron Rodgers will have a better season.

Favre wants to break Jim Marshall’s record of consecutive games started. Marshall by the way played for the Vikings.

Yep, only one more game to tie Marshall's 270.

270 is amazing for any position, but especially for the trenches (Marshall played DE). And unlike Favre, Marshall wasn't a whining, bitter, complaining, constantly retiring/unretiring attention hound.

The Packer D will be looking to tee off bigtime.

I agree. Let the dude play. If he fails and embarrasses himself, the better...but do it on the field instead of listening to all these armchair QB’s dictate if he plays or not. It wont take critics to tell Favre to retire but his failure on the field will..

Hopefully Favre won't end up a rather sad character, sitting on a bar stool, telling anybody that will listen about his troubles.
