Report: Favre tells Vikings he's not returning

[joeybee12]

Many of you scoffed at our report of uneasiness in Mankato regarding the Brett Favre situation.

Scoff no more.

Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Favre began telling team officials on Monday night that he will not return for another season. The disclosure comes on the heels of an observation from Zulgad that team "ownership and power brokers" held a meeting at practice that "looked very intense."

Zulgad also reports that Favre plans to issue a press release later today. Apparently, Favre's injured ankle "has not responded" after surgery and rehab.

Jay Glazer of FOX also reports that Favre has begun communicating the message to teammates.

We've been insisting that, before Favre returns, he needs to persuade everyone that he won't return. Just like he did last year.

1. Didn't he have an operation during the off season?

(Gets off shiftless lazy ass and does her own research) Yeah, on his ankle. Well, maybe this really is it--until a QB goes down later on this season...

5. So does that mean six more weeks of summer?

Or maybe a big ESPN show which amounts to a whole lot of nothing.

9. I have followed Favre since he was in H.S.

like Favre I too went to Southern Miss and I remember my high school playing Hancock North Central when Favre was there. I remember Favre in his first season at Southern Miss so I have followed him all his career. We also have some common friends although I haven't ever met Favre in person. One thing I can tell you is that if Favre feels the ankle isn't ready, believe it. I saw him before his senior year at USM have a wreck in the summer and still play all but the first game of that year. If Favre's ankle is up to par he will be back, but I hope he is not.

10. I actually believe this

His will he won't he act always ended about this time of year. If he's now saying he's not coming back, I think thats about 85% likely that he's not.
