[Elvis Presley]

lazy shooter now. drivel shooter later.

[guy]

If this came from anybody but Shooter (or Sid), I'd give it a moment's thought.

[Vike Mike]

Hmmmm.....
Let me get this straight......

If you want to go to the Vikings vs Packers game..........they are FORCING you to buy tickets to another game?! I've never heard of before.

Why not force EVERYONE to buy season tickets while you're at it!
That's insane.
I'm not sure if I buy it.

I hate little birdies....they fly faster than close personal friends. Charley, you got me again.

Actually quite often the only sell premium games with pre- season requirements. That's how they get things sold out. I am not saying I agree with it, but it's normal. At least for the Vikes...

[to hard]

I am going to laugh when he falls....

[Toolio]

I don't know why there are any comments on any site over Brett Favre.

He is 100% going to play for the Vikes. Since he was released by the Jets, it was a done deal. Period. That's why the VIkes only gave a little to get a Sage, as he was a lower cost insurance policy. And that's why Cutler was "shot down" by some on the coaching staff as a possibility. It's a done deal.

Big ... Big Mistake signing Favre !!!!!

[techie51]

I dont know what more he has to prove. Go out a winner and not a loser like the Vikings.

Not only that but I think it's the Vikings way of trying to keep Packer fans out of the Dome. Think about it, why would Cheeseheads want to see a preseason game between the Vikes and the Chiefs. If memory serves me correctly it was a preseason Vikes vs. Jags game a few years back.

[Vince Lombardi]

A birdie never spoke to me.

[Mad Dog Gus]

Favre's motivation to stick it to the Packers may backfire....the bigger motivation will be the Packers sticking it to Favre....and at 40 years old, he better put on his track shoes.

Of course, from where I sit, it's a win-win situation. If the Vikings do well with him at QB, then that's a good thing. If the Favre led Vikings fall on their face, then that's a funny thing.

Either way, the games are sold out, and that is all that matters. The NFL is in the entertainment business. Our quality of life does not depend on it.

They don't, it's just a way of jacking up the price for a hot ticket (Vikes/Pack).

Try getting a ticket for the game in Green Bay...all 10 of their games are sell outs, so the option to package tickets isn't needed.

A "little birdie..." Now there's a typical Charley Walters source. Get real!

[Two Homes]

So he already has purchased a home in Bearpath (last week) and now a deposit on a place in Edina (this week). Will he buy another couple houses before he signs???

[Elvis Presley]

charlie have sources? hahaha as if.

that would mean getting his 300 pound frame out of the chair and do some real reporting.

I thought he was renting the Bearpath place.

It is somewhat true though...It was a pretty much done deal after he left the Jets..I will be cheering for Favre once he jogs out on to the turf with a purple jersey on. Go Vikes!
