Report: Favre scheduled to meet with Vikings coach Childress

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Just when Brett Favre looked to finally be out, the Minnesota Vikings could be pulling him back in.
Citing an anonymous source "with direct knowledge of the discussions between the two parties," ESPN reported Tuesday that Favre is scheduled to meet with Vikings coach Brad Childress later this week about a possible comeback with Minnesota.
Favre's agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately return a phone call to his Mississippi office left by The Associated Press.
Childress did not immediately return a message. A Vikings spokesman declined to comment on the report.
Both Favre and Cook have said this spring that Favre intends to stay retired. But Favre's statement after he was released by the New York Jets last week left the door open. Continued...

Brett Favre not be able to give up the spotlight? Get the FUCK out of here. Maybe "The Wrestler" was actually about him. Nah, scratch that, that was a sympathetic character. Favre is just a pathetic character.

Exactly. His defenders say "if he wants to play, that's his prerogative". Well, I agree. Just spare us the drama of announcing your retirement and the goddamn indecisiveness, it's pathetic.

Exactly. Funny thing is it comes less than 24 hours after everyone on ESPN yesterday was saying Favre has "absoLUTELY NO plans to return!" as if that somehow validated his greatness. Oops.

Pleeeeease! Not again!!!! Cut the grass, take out the trash and drive your kids to school in Mississippi. What a soap opera. :(

Compared to the endless hand-wringing over "steroids in baseball" the Favre saga doesn't phase me at all.

cuz favre misses so many games......:roll2:

Uhhh...he's also 40. Of course they can milk it so he doesn't have to practice during the week etc., but then you get a finish like he had last year. However they look at it, this is a disaster in the making for the Vikings.
