I don't think there is anyway this will ever happen........but........Why on earth would anyone not want him here? Even at his age, he is still a top 10, maybe even a top 5 QB in the league.

Look at the mess the Jets have now. They got rid of Chad Pennington and now a fellow division team is much more competitive because of it. If anyone in the NFC North got Favre, the packers would get 3 first round picks from the Jets, undoubtedly making them much better. Jets lost their head coach, maybe wouldn't be the worst thing for the Vikes. And by the end of the season had fellow teammates criticizing him. You don't understand why anyone wouldn't want him??

I don't understand why anyone would. All we would get is a interception throwing machine, who is well past his prime, who is going to tear apart our locker room and then put us through the same drama the Packers have gone through the last, what, 3 years, and now the Jets will go through this summer.. And all at the same time, giving the Pack 3 FIRST ROUND draft picks.

If I were a Packer fan, I would love to see him go to the Vikes.

LOL...you read into the media way to much...if you talk to anyone around favre they say he's the best person to be around in the locker room, practice, meetings, and in the game.

the pack would get nothing if the jets decide to release favre...the pack got a 3rd this year and next year the jets get a 7th from the pack.

there's no future in favre though...i'd rather us try getting a young qb for the future then a one year wonder just to try to win the superbowl once.

If the Jets felt at the time that they should or could have held on to Chad Pennington then they would have. The Vikings are in a different situation. If Favre had come to the Vikings this year they probably would have been one of the best teams in football. No one would be dumb enough to hang their hat on Brett Farve as a long term solution. You have to figure he's a one year rent-a-player. if you get more than one year it's a bonus.

Tell me........what 10 QB's in the league would you rather have than Brett Favre?

"Tear apart the locker room".....???????? You mean just like Randy Moss supposedly was doing here? Ask the patriots how that one worked out.

the jets don't have his option if they release him...he's free to go anywhere he wants then.

it would be pretty easy to name 10 qb's in the league that you'd rather have over favre based on the situation.....5 yrs ago would of been a different story.

The vikes always get the old and has been QBs take Mcmahon and Cunningham we had Johnson got rid of him he won a bowl and then we get him back! What they need to do is back up twenty yards and punt, oh wait thats what they always do.

Big Dave are you looking at Favre in today, or in years past? He is a gun slinger qb, in his prime this was a good thing, today he is injured, old, and the desire to compete isnt what it was years ago. He doesnt like to attend practices, or training camps, he cant move as fast as previous years. Then we have the distractions he brings to the team. No Thanks!

Besides all that, I never liked him. So, yes, I would take any of them qb's in that list, and many more before I would have a 2009 version of Brett Favre on my team.

All you have to do is take a look around the league to know if old STIFFS like Warner, Collins and that type of washed up QB can do it. A healthy Favre could crank it up for a season or 2 no problem.

I rate Favre better then over half of Wands list....even injured like he was the 2nd half of last season.

It's one thing to have a personal vendetta against Favre but to say a guy who just made another Pro Bowl is washed up and should retire is well ludicrous.

Get Well Brett we'll see ya in purple hopefully sooner then later.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with you PB. I think if he'd get that shoulder scoped, he'd look pretty good in purple.

Never mind... I take that back. No pure Viking fan would ever want to see Favre in our uniform, right? I'd probably puke green while watching #4 in purple.

Talk about torn... wink

To me, the biggest issue with him coming to the Vikes would be the attention he brings with him, and how that affects the Vikings' efforts at getting a new stadium before the lease expires on the good ol' Dome.

I do not want to be rooting for the LA Vikings come 2012. Favre would most certainly affect that outcome, but I'm not sure how.

Not true ..... at the time of the Voting Favre had carried the Jets to a 9-4 record and was playing at a high level with a bunch of stiffs who won 4 games the preceding year.

Popularity? I thought ever body hated Favre for him wanting to play football again? I though he ruined his entire reputation for being so selfish?

Lets face it its a personal thing with you guys!

You never liked him? Why? Because he played for the packers? If he had played for the Vikings all these years he would be the best thing since sliced bread. Who cares what team a guy played his career with. The Viking probably had a chance to draft him or trade for him before he went to the packers. It's the vikings that screwed up, not Brett Favre.

Well, if I was playing Madden 97-01, Sure I would want Brett on my team, but this is 09, and not a video game! Favre is no longer the player he was. So at the point he is at right now, I would rather have those other 15+ qb's on my team. Favre is a better option then we have now, but I dont want a 1 yr drama queen qb to come in and put us a year back. Lets find us a qb, that is good and we can have around for 5+ years.

I dont think Favre is the player to put us over the edge to win the big one. We need several good players, and if we didnt win this coming year, we are right back to, "what are we going to do for a quarter back"?

Besides, it isnt going to happen anyway, the media would tear him apart in NY if he played the unretire bit there!

1. Peyton Manning

2. Tom Brady

3. Drew Brees

4. Ben Roethlisberger

5. Eli Manning

6. Phillip Rivers

7. Tony Romo

8. Kurt Warner

9. Donovan McNabb

10. Chad Pennington

I could add at least another ten before I wanted Favre.

I guarantee you guys would have never put Kurt Warner on that list a year ago. In my opinion, the Viking would have had a real shot at winning or at least getting to the Superbowl if Brett Favre had been here.

The Vikings were and are in the perfect situation to bring in a guy like Favre. Thats the weakest position on a pretty solid team. You wouldn't be getting rid of a QB, you would just be letting him have one more year of learning under one of the best QBs of all time.

Arizona was the NFC representative for god's sake! I would say that a good "old" QB did a lot for that team.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
