Brett Favre will be a Viking after all.

Three weeks after the future Hall of Fame quarterback told the Vikings he had decided to remain retired, a top Vikings official confirmed this morning that Favre is en route to the Twin Cities and is on board one of owner Zygi Wilf's plane.

Favre might even practice with the Vikings today and is expected to start in Friday's home preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brett is one of my favorite players of all time, but this is starting to get painful to watch.

Dr. Zeke Emanuel disapproves this contract as having too few quality of passing years left.

Just go away Favre. Your act is tiresome. You’re not bigger than the league, and by the way, you were terrible the second half of last season.

What’s wrong with this guy? He flip-flops more than Obamalamadingdong.

Say that louder, I agree. Maybe we can get Obama to declare him a racist, because he comes from Mississippi.

“jump the shark AND screw the pooch”

LOL!

I think its kind of funny, and he is doing this just to get the sports pundits talking(on again, off again, on again). I’m happy he is coming back. I just hope he can tone down his game and protect the ball. If so, he might be able to finish his career with a Superbowl... That would be great!

I am with you. I have lost a lot of respect for the man over the past few years.

Give Favre a break!
If the Packers would have taken the matter to a shareholder vote, he would still be in Green Bay. Let the blame go to those responsible for telling him no when he wanted to come back to Green Bay.

The Jason Voorhees of the NFL....pathetic.

Aaron Rodgers is doing a good job as QB anyway. Favre who?

Good. It’ll be worth it to me to buy a purple Favre jersey and wear it anywhere in the state of Wisconsin.

Exactly! What's the deal with this guy... super-huge ego?
