Your latest dose of Brett Favre B.S.
The ol' gunslinger is slightly less dodgy with Joe Buck

Remember that deadline the Vikings supposedly set for Brett Favre to decide whether he would join the Packers’ rival for the ’09 season? Yeah, that was basically bullshit. The ol’ gunslinger said as much Monday night on the first episode of Joe Buck Live, climbing off his lawn mower to answer questions about his professional future with trademark candor and directness.
For instance, when asked whether he’s coming back for another season, Favre boldly replied, “Um … maybe.” Apparently the gunslinger is going to need another four to five weeks to see if his throwing arm is up to snuff. To his credit, Favre deviated from his usual playbook and confirmed that, yes, he did have surgery and, yes, he is talking to the Vikings. (Bus Cook must be shocked.) But he won’t be deciding for sure on his playing status for several more weeks, which means our neighbors to the west will be helplessly held hostage well into July or even August. Have fun, assholes!
Favre also revealed that he was doing Vikings coach Brad Childress a favor by not showing up to recent team activities as requested, because “ I figured there would be a media frenzy if I was there.” So Favre decided not to face in person the media frenzy he alone created as an early present to his could-be teammates. What a guy!
Look, Favre is going to be a Viking. Everybody knows this. Decider has reached the point where we actually want him to come back, because the grumpy old man Favre clearly needs to be taken down a peg. Is it wrong that we’re secretly hoping that an Aaron Kampman sack ends Favre’s consecutive start streak? Hell hath no fury like a Packers fan scorned.
