He’s not gonna play.

My take?  Favre didn’t sign his retirement papers in winter ‘08 because he knew he wanted to make a comeback.  He asked for his release from the Jets, making him a free agent, for the same reason.  Comeback.

egomaniac much?But Brett Favre is old.  And it’s a new(ish) system, so Childress would want him at every OTA, practice and scrimmage.  Favre doesn’t like that idea.  He’s Brett Favre, after all. –>

And the Vikings would want him to have surgery.  But after the shit-4-brains partial colonectomy, he’s not a big fan of surgery.  (Hey, neither am I.)  He thinks it’ll heal well enough on it’s own.

Plus, Brett’s pretty sure he can beat Sage Rosenfels and Martin Lawrence for the starting QB job with his arm as-is.  So Brett’s just gonna sit tight, clutching his freshly printed Get Out Of New York free agent card.  And as we’ve learned, Brett will go to inappropriate lengths to get what he wants.  Just like he alluded to in the David Letterman Incident, when training camp comes around, expect Favre’s itch to play to come back.  (No, he’s still not willing to rub gynelotrimin on it to make the itch go away.  I’ve already asked.)

And then you can expect Brad Childress to say something like “You had me at ‘Can I skip all the practices?’ “

After that, you’ll see proof that Favre really isn’t thinking about the loyal fans in Green Bay he’s gonna screw by trying to win one game in Lambeau…wearing purple.
