Brett Favre has informed the Vikings that he will not return for another season in Minnesota, the Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.
Favre has sent text messages to teammates saying, "This is it," league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Neither Favre nor the Vikings have confirmed the news but a press release is expected Tuesday, the sources said.

I’ll check back next week. The older players get, the more adept they are at missing part of summer camp.

Good. Go away Favre. Your act over the past few seasons has become tiresome.

I’ll believe it when I don’t see him on the field for a complete season.

“Good. Go away Favre. Your act over the past few seasons has become tiresome.”
My thoughts exactly. And I say that as a Green Bay Packers fan.

Haha. Talk about ripping the rug out from underneath the Vikings. Do they even have another QB? Taveras Jackson?

Brett provided a lot of entertainment in his years at GB and Mpls. Obviously, he doesn't need the money and can live without the hoopla.
Good luck in retirement, Brett.
To: Carling
Favre has had a great run (longevity) in the NFL. Each year it gets tougher for a aging player to get up to speed, the game takes a toll. Favre needs to stay retired this time, it's over pal.

Funny. We’ve seen this one before. Favre can only amp up the drama if he pretends he’s not coming back.
I used to like him, but it seems he’s a poster boy for the self promoting, self indulgent athelete.

As a Packer fan I appreciate the position the Vikes are in now...but also as a Packer fan from experience I assume we haven’t heard the last word from Drama Queen yet.

Cool...So the Vikings have, like what, two weeks now to plan for a new starter? Hall of Famer, I suppose, but what a d***head.

Again?
Once a play is finished and the bows have been taken, actors should GET OFF THE STAGE!
