Brett Favre Base ball player reviews

Brett Favre, the 39-year-old quarterback, has agreed to play for the Minnesota Vikings.

“I felt I did everything I possibly could do to get where I need to be,” Favre said at his introductory news conference Tuesday. “You’re 39, your arm may not feel like it did at 21. But the pieces are in place that you don’t have to do that much and I agree with that.

“If they were willing to take that chance, I was, too.”

The Vikings will pay Favre $12 million this year and $13 million next season, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The contract does not contain performance bonuses.

Because Favre is a vested veteran, the $12 million is guaranteed for this season if he is on the opening day roster. This also applies to the $13 million 2010 deal. This year, $6 million is guaranteed for skill and injury, meaning that if he is bad during the next few weeks, the Vikings can’t get out for less than $6 million.
According to ESPN’s Ed Werder and Chris Mortensen, Brett Favre has told agent Bus Cook that he plans to retire, and that Cook should instruct the New York Jets of his plans.

Something tells me the Jets won’t be holding a big retirement shin-dig for Favre like the Packers did last year.

And, of course, this report only begins the countdown to Brett Favre’s next comeback.

I mean, at this point, don’t we have to assume that no matter what Favre says now there is still a chance he could be playing somewhere (Minnesota anyone?) next season?








Brett Favre (born October 10, 1969) was the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL) from 1992-2007. He also played a single season each for the Atlanta Falcons (1991), New York Jets (2008) and currently the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings (2009-active). Favre started at the quarterback position for the University of Southern Mississippi for four years before being selected in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft by Atlanta (33rd overall). After one season, he was traded to Green Bay on February 10, 1992, for the 19th pick in the 1992 NFL Draft.

Favre became the Packers' starting quarterback in the fourth game of the 1992 season, starting every game through the 2007 season. While with the Packers, Favre broke many Packers and NFL records including: most career touchdown passes, most career passing yards, most career pass completions, most career pass attempts, most career interceptions thrown, most consecutive starts, and most career victories as a starting quarterback.

He is the only player to win the AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award three consecutive times (1995–97). He has led teams to eight division championships (1995, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2009), five NFC Championship Games (1995, 1996, 1997, 2007, and 2009), winning two (1996 and 1997), and two Super Bowl appearances, winning one (Super Bowl XXXI).

He was traded to the New York Jets as

Another off season of Favre charades might just be over after reports that Brett Favre will not be coming back for the 2010 season. Well, that only took six months to figure out. But that’s the essence of Favre, isn’t it? Bullshitting everyone and flip flopping on even the smallest decisions like whether to have a soup or a salad with lunch. That’s what got him run out of Green Bay, that’s what landed him in Minnesota, and that’s exactly why I won’t believe it until it’s the first game of the regular season and Favre isn’t the one playing quarterback. For all we know, he might wake up two weeks from now and decide he feels like taking his job back. Or, he might just string us along for a few weeks in anticipation of him coming back only to decide that he’d rather hunt armadillos on his ranch in Mississippi.

Here’s what makes Favre a dick; the manner at which he’s gone about his business yet again. If Favre had retired at the end of the season, the Vikings could have realistically been coming into camp with either Donovan McNabb, Jason Campbell, or Marc Bulger at quarterback. Instead, they laid it all on the line for Favre only to have him wait until August to call it quits. The Vikings just went from Super Bowl favorite to a team that might not even make the playoffs with Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels at quarterback. Thanks Brett!
