Favre to play for Vikings Friday against Chiefs, mom says
By AL JONES

Brett Favre is headed back to the National Football League.

The former three-time MVP in scheduled to land in Minnesota before noon to prepare for his 19th season in the NFL.

Favre, who retired after the 17 seasons with the Packers and again after one with the Jets, is giving it another shot against Green Bay's arch-rival Minnesota.

Brett Favre will be wearing a Vikings uniform on Friday and will see action against Kansas City, according to his mother, Bonita.

"He is going," Bonita Favre, his mom said. "I have mixed emotions, but I have always loved to watch him play. This time, however, I thought he would stay retired and stay home. I guess he could not do it.

"He told me he would always wonder 'what if?' I told him I supported him."

Bonita Favre said he son will work out Wednesday and plans to take a few reps in a preseason home game on Friday against Kansas City. The Vikings are 1-0 after a 13-3 win over Indianapolis last Friday.

"I wanted to go to the game on Friday," she said. "But I said I could not make because I have two baby showers at my house on Saturday. I think playing on Friday was part of the deal."

The Vikings, who are expected to challenge for the NFC Central title, feature running back Adrian Peterson.

"I hope he does not have to do as much," she said. "He should not have to thrown as much with the good running back. That said, I hope he does not have to throw as much and try to make things happen like he usually does.

"They seem to have a good team in place and he liked that. I guess I need to get a Vikings jersey now."

The old geezer just won't quit.

I don't know whether that's admirable or ridiculous.

I'm not surprised by this.

I predicted this weeks ago on this very message board! :lol:

You did?

Nah, I think most of us were on the fence as to when he would come back and sure enough he did.

Heck, I knew he would come back.. :lol:

You think Solomon will be pissed that his favorite QB in the world- Sage Rosenfels- is not going to be the starter?

The link to the other thread where we al made our predictions about Favre. :lol:

When Favre returns to Lambeau as a member of the Vikings, it may remind me of when Terrell Owens played his first game in Philadelphia as a Dallas Cowboy in 2006- it was a big deal amid the idea of a player joining a blood rival.

Are there any possible similarities between these two?

So does this mean Sage Rosenfels is not starting?

I don't know. Favre was never a bad teammate like T.O. was and he did bring that city it's only championship since Lombardi. On the other hand the city is divided on the way he left the team and when a star player goes to a division rival like that it has to hurt.

So does this mean Sage Rosenfels is not starting?
I think that's a given.

No Sonny, Life is not right, LOL I want Brett Farve to fail

So does this mean Sage Rosenfels is not starting?
I guess not!

Sage Rosenfels sucks. Just end it. He's horrible. This team is definitely a contender now.

Well Farve is going to get Brad Childress fired like he did Mangini

He didn't get Mangini fired. Mangini is a coach, and if he doesn't win games, regular season, then the playoffs, management will fire him, or any coach in general. You see how that works?

Mangini was

10-6
4-12
9-7

23-25 as a coach. In New York, with that record, a coach will not last long period. No matter who his QB is. And Chidress is on the hot seat, before Favre even got here to Minnesota, what are you talking about? Minnesota fans, management and the media have him on the hot stove, because he has had great teams in Minnesota, but can not seem to put it together, or when he finally gets into the playoffs, win a game.

Childress is

6-10
8-8
10-6

24-24, a .500 record with the Vikings in his 3 years as their head coach. Even though they have had no good QBs whatsoever, on their roster until Favre just arrived today, they have had a number of great players, both on the offense and defensive side of the football. Adrian Peterson, Chester Taylor, Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell, Steve Hutchinson and others.

I just hope when McNabb decides to hang it up 10 years from now, he doesn't waffle/flip-flop.

Farve did get him fired because he thre like 10 INTS in the last 3 games

He won't do that whatsoever. Don't worry about it.

True, but even if the Jets get into the playoffs, Mangini would of had to win a playoff game himself, to save himself. That had nothing to do with Favre, and he probably wouldn't of went far in the playoffs, against the likes of the Ravens, Steelers, Colts & Chargers, that made it in, and the Dolphins as well.

I want Brett Farve to fail

ME, TOO!!!
