He is just going for the NFL record for most retirement press conferences.

LOL!!!!! Im sorry but I laugh my ass OFF every time I hear that, or read that!

1. Favre WAS a passing threat
2. Favre ISNT a passing threat ANYMORE!!!!!!!! <-------------------------
3. He is washed up and has nothing left.

I respect his abilities, but not his decision making.

I think its funny how adding a 39 year old QB, that has had 2 straight terrible years (about to get his 3rd), and STILL think hes a threat. The only threat he is? Is a threat to the Vikes. Kill the team why dont ya.

Even with Favre, I think the Vikes will do good. But since hes the starting QB, they WONT make Super Bowl, nor conference championship.

Another point, the Vikes have 1 good WR and I cant even remember his name! All I know, is that he is alright. You can have all the best QBs in history, but if you have no one to pass to? Then the QBs are useless. Period.

So saying Favre is a passing threat, is like saying, "Michael Jackson is the best performer alive right now!"

To be fair, through week 12 he only had one shitty game. Its those last 5 games of the season that crushed his season, and its easily attributable to age. Whats scary is the Vikings know he has a torn rotator cuff, and they are hinging a lot on it somehow surviving 16 weeks of football. How shitty must you feel if you are Jackson or Rosenfels right now when the team would take all that over your potential?

yes he was just amazing weeks 7-9, really tore it up

Brett Favre told ESPN before the Minnesota Vikings' game on Monday that he suspects he may have a cracked rib.

Favre hasn't had an official diagnosis, but he says taking a deep breath causes discomfort. The 39-year-old quarterback isn't listed on the injury report and no other other Vikings official mentioned the injury pregame.

The three-time MVP says he has no plans to wear any kinds of special padding, saying "the damage is done." Favre is expected to play the entire first half against the Houston Texans.

Favre, who signed a $25 million deal with the Vikings on Aug. 18, completed just one pass for four yards over two series in his Minnesota debut just days later.

Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Old fart looked damn good against the Texans, and he can still throw a rocket.
Not sure what the TV experts had to say but thats because I was actually at the game

And btw, the BBQ was great!
